Features to know about

Stay Ready for Chain Law Zones: Lightweight Cables That Store Easily

When you’re driving in states that require carrying traction devices, these Titan Chain Cable Tire Chains are the perfect just-in-case set to keep in your trunk. They’re compact, lightweight, and don’t take up much room, so you can stash them under a seat or beside your roadside gear. Each pair provides reliable traction for light snow while keeping your ride smooth with their low-profile roller design that wraps around wire cables.

Dealing with Tight Wheel-Well Clearance: SAE Class S Design Keeps It Safe

Newer vehicles often leave very little space between the tire and suspension parts. These cables meet SAE Class S standards, which means they’re built for that limited clearance. You only need a minimum of 1.46" (37 mm) above the tread and 0.59" (15 mm) on the sidewall, so they’ll clear surrounding components without contact. That Class S compatibility makes them a dependable choice when regular chains simply won’t fit.

Need Extra Grip for Light Snow Drives: Ladder Pattern Bites Forward

For those winter days when roads are dusted with snow or light ice, the ladder-style pattern on these cables helps you keep momentum. The rollers grip as the tires rotate, giving a steady forward bite instead of spinning out. They’re ideal for occasional snow travel, cabin access, or steep driveways where a bit of extra traction keeps you in control.

Want Smooth, Hassle-Free Use: Simple Manual Tensioning and Optional Adjusters

Getting these cables snug is quick and straightforward—just feed the cable through the steel channel and secure it. There are no levers to fuss with. Add a set of Titan rubber adjusters (sold separately) for a tight, centered fit that stays put as you drive. That small addition helps the cables perform better and last longer.

Looking for a Durable, Low-Carbon Steel Build: Reliable Season After Season

Each cable is made from low-carbon steel for strength and flexibility, so they can handle cold-weather stress without snapping. The smooth rollers protect your tires from harsh abrasion and make for a quieter ride on packed snow. After each use, dry and store them to keep the steel in good shape for many winters of backup traction when you need it most.

Note

  • Note: To determine whether you can use snow chains on your vehicle, or if they might affect your ABS/EPS functionality, consult your owner's manual.

Confirming Your Fit

If you know your tire size, you may think you won't need to test fit your new chains. But there are a lot of variables that can affect whether chains will fit your specific tires, including your tire type, the amount of air pressure in the tire, the amount of tread wear, and the tire manufacturer.

We recommend that you order chains as early in the season as possible to give yourself plenty of time to test fit the chains and reorder if needed. This way, you won't be stuck out in the cold later with snow chains that don't fit.

You can test fit these chains in your garage or driveway, but you'll want to wait until there's snow on the ground to actually drive with them. Likewise, if you're out in the snow and come across bare pavement, you'll want to pull over and remove the chains. These chains can cause damage to the bare pavement, your garage floor, or your vehicle if they break from the wear of riding on a harsh surface.

They have great service and they always have equipment in stock. Shopping is easy and if I need additional information I just call one of the representatives for help.

For those with an F-250 with 20” wheels, you know the pain of figuring out what you can and cannot do, according to Ford’s owners manual, for chains/cables. If you live in a state that requires carrying chains (traction devices), figuring out what will work with the 250/350’s can be confusing. I knew I needed cables for the 20”s but couldn’t find the right ones that fit a 275/65r20, so after a few minutes online, I called the 800 number. Great response, very helpful, knew exactly what I needed and was even able to recommend the tensioners I needed. I was able to order them online within 5 minutes. The shipping on etrailers part was exceptional, not so much for UPS, but they still got to me in a very reasonable time. Overall, I’m super pleased with my etrailer online and on phone experience!

You’re probably wondering about the cables I bought? I dunno, they look great, and the bag they came in was a plus, as it fits under the back seats no problem. The F-250 Fx4 really does not need cables, even with the stock Michelin’s ATX, took it up into the mountains with 2-3” new snow and more falling all day and didn’t experience any issues. But I gotta have them legally, so these are the ones I got and I think they’ll do very well if I ever get stuck.



by:

Haven't had to use them, but they seem like a decent quality. My tire is 325/65R18, the equivlant 35x12.50R18. It fits these tires mostly fine. My concern is that it might be too short to get the best fit. On mine, I was down to the second-to-last ferrule and it felt already tight. I think it may be better if it had more ferrules and closer distance between them. As the truck rolls along and the tire compresses/expands/contracts, it may snap the cable compared to a chain. I have rubber tensioners and that may compound the issue more. Otherwise, it seems like a decent cable if you need lower clearance.



by:

Item was obviously returned from prior customer. Case is stained and has small puncture, obviously was in someone’s truck for awhile, not sure if chains themselves were used…. Not thrilled…



by:

Ordering was easy and delivery was actually a day early. Christine A. helped with determining cables or chains and which cables for our 2022 Bronco Sasquatch w/oversize tires (315-70/R70).



by:

Fits my F-350 20's without causing chipping of the rim.

Cables fit my Bronco Sasquatch LT 315/70R-17 tires just fine. Clearance appears to be okay. Did use tensioners. No opportunity to use them yet. Great price and fast safe shipping.Website useful and informative.



by:

They will work just fine for up hunting in the mountains. The TRX/RHO says no chains, but these clear. There are times you must have a little extra bite, slow speeds..these will be perfect

  • Cable Tire Chain Recommendation for a 2021 GMC Sierra 3500 with LT275/65R20 Tires
    Hey Jerry, thanks for reaching out! I recommend picking up the Titan Chain Cable Tire Chain # TC3031 and keeping them on hand in case you need to prove to State Patrol that you have a traction device. The problem is that since the owner's manual says not to use them, you could potentially damage your truck even with cables like these. If you live in a place that requires driving during treacherous conditions your best bet is to get winter tires for when you need a better grip. It's definitely...

  • Recommended Tire Chains for 2022 Ram 1500 TRX
    Based on my research the 2022 Ram 1500 TRX comes with LT325/65R18D tires. Since you will need Class S rated chains I recommend the Titan Chain Cable Snow Tire Chains # TC3031. These use a ladder pattern with rollers and are the only option that are Class S compatible. However, you will need to check to make sure these are compatible with your truck. The 2022 owner's manual does not list the TRX or TRX tires under tire chains, so I recommend reaching out to a local dealer to make sure this...

If your owner's manual specifies class S chains only, I really cannot recommend using these. I know this isn't the most helpful reply ever but we simply...
