Features to know about
Keep Moving Through Deep Snow and Ice: Grooved Square Links Bite In
When roads disappear under heavy snow or slick ice, these grooved square links keep you in control. The sharp edges dig deeper than standard chains to get solid grip in snow, ice, and even muddy conditions. Combined with the ladder pattern, they give steady forward traction to keep you climbing and braking confidently in tough winter terrain.
Chains That Last Season After Season: Reversible Design Doubles the Wear
These chains are built to go the distance. Each link works on both sides, so when one side starts to wear, you can flip them over and keep driving. That reversible design helps them last longer than typical chains, making them a solid choice for anyone who wants reliable traction year after year.
Spend More Time Driving and Less Time Adjusting: Simple Manual Connection Setup
No cams, levers, or complicated locks here—just a straightforward manual system that stays secure even when you’re reversing or bouncing through rough snow. If you want an even tighter fit, you can add rubber adjusters (sold separately). Once they’re on, you can focus on driving instead of stopping to retighten.
Tough Enough for Harsh Winter Use: Nickel Manganese Alloy Steel Construction
These chains don’t just bite into snow—they take abuse without giving up. The nickel manganese alloy steel resists corrosion and wear, and the case-hardened finish boosts strength and durability. That means less worry about rust or broken links when you’re out in the cold getting the job done.
Built for Real-World Winter Roads: Fits 14" to 18" Tires
Designed to handle both on-road and off-road driving, these chains fit a range of tire sizes from 14" to 18". Whether you’re climbing steep rural roads or pushing through fresh powder, they deliver dependable traction so you can get where you need to go safely and confidently.

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.
