Features to know about
Taking on Deep Snow and Ice: Grooved Square Links Cut In for Grip
When the snow piles up or the ice gets slick, the grooved square links of these chains bite deep for solid forward traction. The ladder pattern keeps all your drive tires working together, letting you dig in and push through without spinning. Whether you’re plowing, hauling, or just trying to reach a mountain property, these links hold steady on packed snow and ice where others slip.
Built to Handle Heavy Loads and Rough Terrain: Nickel Manganese Alloy Steel Construction
These chains are made from nickel manganese alloy steel that’s case hardened for strength and corrosion resistance. That combination gives you chains that can stand up to off-road mud, icy gravel, and repeated winter use without stretching or rusting out. They’re built to take abuse season after season, whether you’re on the job or off the grid.
Stay Moving Without Constant Retightening: Manual Design Stays Taut on Its Own
With no cams or levers to come loose, these chains stay snug even when you’re backing up or hitting uneven ground. The simple manual connection keeps tension steady so you can focus on driving instead of adjusting. For an even firmer hold, rubber adjusters (sold separately) make it easy to lock in a tight fit.
Get More Life Out of Every Chain: Reversible Design Wears Evenly
Each chain can be flipped over once one side starts to show wear, doubling its lifespan. That reversible setup means fewer replacements and more time on the road or trail with reliable traction. A quick rinse and dry after each use helps them last even longer between seasons.
Ready for Wide or Dual Tires: Coverage for 15"–22" Diameters
Made to cover wide-base or dual tire setups, this pair fits tire diameters from 15" up to 22". The design spreads traction across both tires, giving better bite and control in deep snow or mud than outer-only chains alone. Perfect for drivers who need consistent, all-wheel traction in tough winter conditions.

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.
