Features to know about
Climbing Steep Snowy Grades with Confidence: Grooved Square Links Bite Deep
When the road turns slick or you’re working through heavy snow, the grooved square links on these chains dig into ice and packed snow better than standard square or round links. The ladder pattern keeps traction steady as you drive forward, helping both rear tires grab evenly. You get dependable grip on steep grades, deep snow, and icy patches where other chains might slip.
Get Back on the Road Faster: Cams Make Tensioning Simple
Tightening chains in cold weather can be a chore, but the built-in cams make it quick and easy. Just twist the cams with the included tool and the chain pulls snug around your dual tires. If you want an even firmer grip, add rubber adjusters (sold separately). It’s a straightforward design that saves time when conditions are rough.
Chains That Keep Working Season After Season: Reversible Design Extends Life
Each side of these chains is made to handle wear, so when one side starts looking tired, you can flip them over and keep going. That reversible design doubles their usable life, letting you depend on the same set for more than one winter. Dry them after each run to keep them ready for the next storm.
Built to Handle Heavy Loads and Rough Conditions: Nickel Manganese Alloy Steel Construction
These chains weigh in at 56 lbs per set because they’re made from case-hardened nickel manganese alloy steel. That steel mix is built for strength and durability, with excellent resistance to rust and wear. The hardened outer layer protects against scuffs and corrosion, while the inner core stays tough under stress. It’s the kind of build you can count on for serious winter driving.
More Grip for Dual Tires: Designed for True Dually Traction
Unlike single-tire chains that only cover the outer wheel, this setup covers both tires on your dual-wheel axle so every contact point can dig in. The result is better control and traction under load, whether you’re hauling, plowing, or just making it up a snow-packed hill.

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.
