Features to know about

Digging Through Deep Snow and Mud: Square Links Bite Hard

When the road disappears under deep snow or sticky mud, these heavy-duty mud service chains step up. Their 8.2 mm (0.322") square links have flat edges that dig in harder than round or twist links, giving you powerful forward traction in slick or uneven terrain. The ladder pattern keeps you moving smoothly so you can climb grades, pull through ruts, and stay in control no matter what the surface throws at you.

Built for Rough, Heavy Use: Oversized Alloy Construction Handles Abuse

Each chain is built with an oversized, heavy-duty design that’s made to take punishment where lighter chains fail. The premium alloy steel is case hardened for strength and durability, so the links resist wear and corrosion even after repeated runs through snow, gravel, or mud. The solid build gives you confidence when driving through the toughest winter or off-road conditions.

No Cams to Slip Loose: Simple Manual Tensioning You Can Trust

These chains install without cams, which means there’s no chance of tensioners coming undone when you’re reversing or bumping over rough ground. The manual tensioning setup keeps things secure and reliable. For an even tighter fit, rubber adjusters (sold separately) can be added once the chains are mounted.

Step 1 of installing pewag Mud Service Tire Chains showing chains laid flat on the ground to remove twists and tangles before installation.

Step 2 of installing pewag Mud Service Tire Chains showing chains draped evenly over the tire with prongs facing outward.

Step 3 of installing pewag Mud Service Tire Chains showing user connecting and tightening chains behind the tire for a secure fit.

Final step of installing pewag Mud Service Tire Chains showing optional rubber adjusters secured over tire for tight fit.

Ready for Serious Trucks and Heavy Loads: Strong Performance Across Tire Sizes

At about 30–35 lbs per chain, these are burly enough for serious traction work yet manageable for one person to install. Each pair fits tires from 15" to 22-1/2", covering a wide range of setups for those who need dependable grip season after season.

Stay Moving in Real Winter Conditions: Case-Hardened Links That Last

When you rely on your truck for work or travel through harsh winter zones, you need chains that hold up. The case-hardened alloy links protect against rust and surface wear while the inner metal core absorbs stress without cracking. These are the kind of chains you can count on to keep biting year after year through snow, ice, and mud.

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.

2016 Ford Expedition
We wanted these chains for road and off-highway use on our EarthCruiser. Loaded that Fuso-Canter-based expedition vehicle weighs around 12,000 - 13,000 lbs so we needed a heay duty chain. The Pewag PWE2441S chains definitely fit the bill. They are burly chains, but at 32 lbs a chain (64 lbs total) I can still get them on and off the tires relatively simply (I use the drape over technique illustrated in the Etrailer video). Our truck has 315/75R16 tires and these chains fit, but they don't get very far down the sidewall (photo). With our order we purchased the Pewag/Glacier Tensioners listed for 16 - 20 inch wheels. However those tensioners lack enough reach to be used with these chains on this sized tire (photo). We'll be using a set of three or four 14 - 16" rubber straps stretched across the outboard side chains (photo).

I found that the chains mounted easily. I drove 200 yards and retightened them after which they seem really secure. I've not had them in snow or on ice yet, so I can't speak to their performance but they certainly dig into our packed & graveled driveway well.

Etrailer's service is simply outstanding. I received the chains in less than a week with free shipping. When I had some problems with the optional rubber tensioners, Etrailer's customer service folks were attentive and prompt. I'll definitely be ordering other stuff through them.

So far great. I was asked to review 24 hours after receiving. So I can say that I have tried the fit on dry pavement. on my Sportsmobile's LT 315/70/ R17's they fit great. If you have the Aluminess back bumper, all 4 sacks of chains just fit in the bumper storage.

I have not driven the 100 yards and re-fitted. I think they might tighten up 1 link.

I also bought the Review the Titan Chain Multi-Arm Rubber Tire Chain Adjuster for Light Trucks - 1 Pair - TCMA2. I don't think they will be needed, but I will use anyway.

Shipping was really fast and the box they ship in is ergonomic. This is weird to say but you will see what I mean. Note, these chains are about 30-35 lbs a set. If you are buying for a 4 tires, you will be looking at 120 - 140 lbs of chains.
by:
Fast shipping and chains are as expected. Very nice quality. Easy installation and perfect test fit on my spare. I have a snug fit with 3 links to cut. I’ve used a variety of chains and cables on various vehicles over the last 20 years. I think these Pewag chains are the most impressive I’ve seen. I have yet to use them this early in the season but I expect them to handle well and exceed my expectations in situations where the typical light chain is inadequate. I’m using these on a 02 Ford Excursion 7.3 diesel at about 9.3k lbs
by:
Amazing customer service! They originally only shipped one chain, when it was supposed to be a pair. They quickly took care of the issue and made sure I had a complete set before a hunting trip. Chains were very easy to install, less than 8 min total for the pair. I will say be very careful with the tensioners and wear leather gloves as they are VERY slippery when wet.

I spent a lot of time researching tire chains and the various companies selling them and after weeks of research and comparison shopping I decided to go with the Pewag All Square Mud Service Snow Tire Chains. These chains are flat out superior and awesome. If your looking for the best, most heavy duty chains that are made in America with American steel by American workers, than these 100% Made in the U.S.A chains, are what your looking for. Furthermore, etrailer.com provided exceptional customer service throughout my ordering process and the chains were on my door step two days after ordering, which included free shipping. This is a five star company as well, and where you want to purchase your chains and all related items.

The best you can get without waiting months for a custom set from pewag. The performance is fantastic when installed correctly. Will last a long time if used as intended. Purchased and used for deep snow/ice. Brain was not included, must supply own brain.

There the best! I've run Pewags for decades on my heavy equipment and can honestly say they just are top quality. If you want something to hold up to the rigors of running snow removal equipment daily through six months of operations with minimal problems these are the right choice. I chose these for my truck knowing they will last longer than I will.

I haven't used the chains yet but a friend told me about them and said they fit well, etc. Good service and delivery!

I am very impressed with the quality of the PEWAG 2439S on and off road mud service tire chains they appear to be of exceptionally good quality, I haven’t made sure they fit my tires yet
Because i simply haven’t had time mostly because the chains only arrived just hours ago on my door step
After I test fit the chains to my vehicle it will be very nice to have these essential tools along with the tensioners ( PW105 )on board the truck when out hunting or in the back country , also Im thinking I might purchase a second pair so I can chain all four when I get into steep slippery conditions
I also like that the model number of these chains is stamped on the locking lever and lastly that these chains were made in colorado and are nickel manganese coated and have a Rockwell hardness of 62 which I find impressive
25 years in the trucking industry I never had traction chains of this quality with any carrier I worked for which would have been really nice instead of the cheap Chinese brands that never lasted very long , you get what you pay for

I’ve owned the PEWAG 2439S tire chains for a year now but I haven’t had to deployed them I have only test fit the tire chains in a local church parking lot which got me a lot of weird looks I used the church parking lot because it was clean and dry and perfect for test fitting since the test fitting I’ve since upgraded my tire chain kit during the test fit I found I had to lay on the ground to connect the chains behind the tire this is difficult to reach the chains to make the connections and also not curse anyways So I bought a fifth wheel puller tool from the local auto parts store NAPA AUTO PARTS aka trucker tool this tool made it very easy to reach the chain on the back side of the tire to make the connection then once the connection was made I used 18 inch cable ties to zip tie the slack in the chain works really good I used the bigger longer 18 inch cable ties because I was wearing gloves easier to handle so once the connection is made on the back side of the tire it goes really smooth from there And the connection is made on the outside of the tire and the cable ties are used for the slack chain again and also the PW105 orange tensioners are used to keep the chains tight pretty darn easy if you test fit ahead of time before the chains are deployed for real my off-road tire chain kit has a set of PEWAG 2439S tire chains lots of work gloves fifth wheel puller tool from Napa auto parts 18inch cable ties PW105 tensioners cable tie cutters dikes And overalls to help keep the cab cleaner and Notes to myself in the kit so I remember how to do it all in the future for my particular truck I keep all this in a kit for off road use and it doesn’t leave the vehicle

by:
If you need chains (for real) there is no substitute for Pewag. Yeah, they're expensive, but the alternative is be up in the middle of the night, in the shop repairing broken chains, or crawling around in the snow untangling broken chain from under your truck, that hopefully still has its brake lines intact. Ask me how I know... This is my second set in 10 years. The first set were standard duty, normal steel. These may outlast me... They'll undoubtedly outlast the truck.

I was using Glacier Cable Chains, they lasted me a few years so I was happy with them, but I thought I would try some Big Thick Square Link Chains and see how long they will last me. I live in Washington State along the Columbia Gorge and we get Thick Black Ice yearly. Not so much the nice thick snow you get in other parts of the U.S. driving on Black Ice is suicide without chains to stop you and keep you from going sideways down hill. I found these 7MM thick square link chains and thought I would give them a try. I wasn't sure what to expect so I only order one pair because of the high price of the chains. I wanted to see if I thought they would last a little longer than the cable chains. These links are about 3 times as thick as the cable chains and the bite I expect to get from the Square Link is going to be awesome for the next Ice storm we get. Now that I have seen the size and quality of these chains I am saving up to get the second pair. Very Happy. I also bought 2 pair of PW105 Glacier Multi-Arm Rubber Adjusters to go with these chains.

These chains are awesome, and by far the beefiest ones I have ever installed. They are heavy, like putting a sandbag in the back of a truck. As a chain, the weight will be kept low where the traction is needed and not be up high like a sandbag if the rig starts to go side to side. The cross links are big and thick with square edges that should bite into ice and whatever else they can dig into, including deep mud. If the horsepower is there I think the rig will keep moving forward. My only question is, can an '18 Jeep Wrangler with a 3.6 spin them? For those with turbo diesel engines and lots of torque, these chains were made for you.

I will not have any excuse not to provide forestry services because of snow anymore.

    Hey Jason, thanks for reaching out. You are correct that the pewag Mud Service Chains # PWE2441S physically fit a 285/75R18 tire, and that is why they show up when searching by tire size. They are a very heavy-duty chain with 8.2 mm square links intended for serious mud, snow, and off-road use. The issue is the 2026 F-250, not the tire size.

    Tire chains on both the front and back tires will provide more traction than if only one set of chains are installed on either the front or back tires. Sometimes one set of chains will provide enough traction, but two pairs of chains will provide additional traction. Additionally, wider tires do not always do as well in the snow and ice as skinnier tires, so for your wide tires 2 pairs of chains will likely work better for you.
