Features to know about

Climbing Steep Snowy Roads: Grooved Square Links Bite Deep

When you hit snow-covered grades or icy backroads, these grooved square links give you the extra bite you need. The grooves let the chain dig into snow, ice, or mud better than standard square links, keeping your tires gripping instead of spinning. The ladder pattern keeps traction steady as you move forward through deep snow or over compacted ice.

Getting Unstuck Without a Struggle: Assisted Cams Keep Chains Tight

Tensioning doesn’t have to be a fight. These chains come with built-in cams that let you twist the chain snug around your tire with the included tool. The assisted tension system helps keep the fit even all the way around so you can get traction fast and drive confidently without constant readjusting. For an extra-tight hold, rubber adjusters can be added separately.

Lay out pewag wide base tire chains flat on the ground to remove twists and tangles before installation.

Drape pewag wide base tire chains evenly over tire with prongs facing away from sidewall during installation.

Connect pewag tire chain ends behind the tire by pulling tight and securing hooks to hold the chain in place.

Use included tool to twist cam tighteners on pewag tire chains to achieve a snug fit around the tire.

Recheck pewag tire chain tension after driving forward and use rubber adjusters if needed for a secure fit.

Chains That Last Season After Season: Reversible and Hardened for Durability

You can tell these are built tough. Each chain link can be flipped and used on either side, so when one surface wears down, you just reverse them and get more life out of your set. The nickel manganese alloy steel is case hardened to handle the shock and abrasion of icy roads while resisting corrosion. That means they stay strong and dependable run after run.

Built for Heavy Use in Harsh Conditions: Wide-Base Coverage with Ladder Pattern Grip

These chains are made for wide-base and super-single tires that take on deep snow and heavy work. The ladder pattern spreads traction evenly across the tread, giving your tires solid footing when it matters most. Whether you’re making your way to a mountain property or hauling through winter roads, this setup keeps both traction and control on your side.

Ready When Winter Hits Hard: One Set Covers 15" to 17-1/2" Tires

You get a pair of durable chains that fit a range of tire sizes from 15" to 17-1/2". That flexibility means you’re set for most wide-base setups without guessing. Each set comes ready to handle tough winter driving and includes the features that make pewag chains a go-to choice for serious traction in snow, ice, and mud.

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.

Pewag always has been the standard for chains that are designed to do the work when you have to get work done. The fit was as expected you just have to tie back the tails on the inside where they don’t hit the strut tower. A couple of zip ties works
Thanks Tim for the help
by:
Chains worked as designed. We use them in our trips to our farms in Montana and Wyoming when roads are open of course. Truck and trailer do not slip or fish tail.

@Wesley That's awesome! Sounds like you are really using them to their full abilities!

These Pewag chains are VERY heavy duty and seem to be well made and strong. The cam tighteners will make adjusting chains easier.
Service from etrailer was very helpful in getting the correct size for tires and vehicle, and the chains were shipped quickly.

These chains on my Jeep Rubicon are fantastic. I am a volunteer firefighter and EMT in the mountains of Colorado. I need to get to emergency incidents in the worst of weather. These chains make that possible.

Shipping was extremely fast , received my order in 2 days . Chains are high quality and should last a long time. Bought these for all 4 tires of my ‘01 Ford F-350 , tires are BFG All Terrains Lt285-75-R16. They fit perfectly, will probably be cutting 2 links off of the backside where the two ends hook together. The chains came.2 per sack with a cam tightening tool in each sack. I modified the tool to make it easier to use when your hands are frozen.

2nd set of the Pewag tire chains I purchased here in the last four years. Loved the first set, still use them here in Wisconsin and Montana. Needed to purchase another set to fit some larger oversized tires. Amy helped me out deciding which chains would best fit my needs and I still can't believe how fast she turned the order around and had them at my house the day before I was leaving for Montana. Can't get better service than that.

Bought these tire chains for my Ford F-350. Had some days last winter when the driveway below the hill was all ice and plowing would be impossible without chains.
Perfect fit, easy installation and those cam locks are awesome for a tight fit.
by:
2009 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty
These are by far the BEST tire chains I've ever owned. These are for plowing in Maine winter, and these chains are massive! Talk about high quality and super heavy duty!
I put them on with ease. Fitment is perfect.
If you want the best chains on the market, get pewag. The camlock tool is equally heavy duty, big & strong.
I'm very happy with these awesome chains. Nothing's indestructible, but these certainly feel like it.

The chains fit our Wrangler Rubicon well, and are really substantially built. I like the cam tensioners. I might add a rubber tension too just to keep everything tight when driving. Really appreciate the quick delivery!
by:
Ordered chains on a Fri afternoon (Pacific Time) and was a little concerned about delivery before my trip the following Thu. Pleasantly surprised to receive a response later that Friday evening that order was processed and already on its way. Chains arrived the following Tuesday with standard shipping. Didn't end up needing to use chains on my trip to Mammoth but glad I have them and the order processing by etrailer was excellent.

I ordered the Pewag wide base tire chains on Sunday and they arrived on Wednesday. The chains are all they were said to be. High quality American made. Tire chains are a tool you hope you never need, but are invaluable when you do need them. I plan on using them on my wide profile tires on my F-350. A local municipality uses them on their plow truck all winter. The Pewags have lasted five seasons while lesser brands require replacement after one season.
by:
These are top quality chains.
They are made of alloy rather than low carbon steel; which can break when you most need them, and even damage your rig.
Do yourself a favor, and invest in good quality USA made chain. Think about it. If you need chains, you are already in a bad situation to begin with. Spend the extra money to buy real chains. It's worth it.
The square link works very good on ice and snow, and also works great as mud chains for outdoorsman who spend time in the wilderness.

Excellent traction on snow and ice. Heavy duty textured square chains. Only the best for my 14,000# Mitsubishi Fuso FG 4x4.

I did the research & I am VERY HAPPY with my decision to buy these snow chains. My tires are 35x12.5x18. The quality & looks are great. These chains will be last ones for my truck! Best Prices Here (etrailer.com)

Great product - just what I was looking for - I bought from another site online, bad chains, broke, and didn't work, even damaged my ABS lines when they snapped. They refused any customer service or help. Your chains, received quick and they went right on, no issues - thanks so much for your quick and timely shipping.

These are great chains! They do give you a rather rough ride but I expect that from any square link snow chain. They grip great and are very strong.

  • Recommended Tire Chains for 1996 Ford Bronco with 31x10.50-15 and Chevy 2500 with 265/70-16 Tires
    For your 1996 Ford Bronco with 31 x 10.50-15 tires I recommend the Pewag square link tire chains, part # PWE3210SC. A lot of chains are made with a hard metal on the exterior but are much softer once you get through the outer layer, but not these. They're made of a high quality manganese alloy steel that's solid all the way through. They also have cam tighteners that are easy to use. The square links provide maximum contact and dig into the ice and snow compared to twist link chains. Go...

  • Recommended Tire Chains For 32x10R15 Tires On A UTV
    Hello Shawn. For the 32x10R15 tires on your UTV I recommend the pewag Wide Base Tire Chains w Cams # PWE3227SC. These are you standard ladder-style chains and the cams help ensure a snug fit. I do suggest that you also use the Rubber Adjuster # TCMA2 which will help to provide the proper tension. Our install and review video for these chains is linked below.

  • Tire Chain Recommendation for 2007 Toyota Tundra with 255/70/R18 Size Tires
    Your first step when considering tire chains on any vehicle is a check of the owner's manual for any guidance or restrictions regarding their use. Many vehicles are limited to using special low-profile S-Class chains that do not require too much wheel well clearance. Before purchasing any tire chain check your vehicle's manual carefully and if in doubt speak to your local dealership. Tire chains come in a variety of types and with varying features. Some are on-road only while others can...

  • Class S Tire Chains for 2022 Volkswagen Atlas
    I'd recommend going with the Konig Self-Tensioning Diamond Pattern Snow Chains, part # th2004705265. The chains only extend 12mm to the inside of the tire, offering clearance between the chain and brake, suspension ands steering components. The diamond-shaped profile of the chains allows more contact of the chain to the road surface than what's seen with ladder style chains. The chains are self tensioning and centering, so they're easy to install. I'll link to a demonstration video for...

    Snow chains should only be required on the tires on the main drive axle of your vehicle, check with the state of Colorado to be sure. We have an informational article that has some general state by state information for you to review. In your case you would need to order 1 set of two snow chains like the Pewag # PWE3227SC chains featuring cam tightners and all steel square links that provide superior traction.

    If there are any restrictions on the use of tire chains for your 2008 Ford F-150 with tire size 265/65-18, then it should be listed in the owners manual. Take a look in the owners manual for any tire chain information. We show several tire sizes for the 2008 Ford F-150 but not 265/65-18. There is a 265/60-18 so you will want to double check that size.
