Features to know about
Tackling Snowy Roads Without the Hassle: Automatic Self-Tensioning Keeps Chains Tight
No more stopping mid-drive to wrestle with loose chains. The pewag Snox Pro automatically tightens around your tires as you roll, keeping a consistent fit without any manual tensioning. When you stop, the system releases on its own, so taking them off is just as quick. For anyone driving through fresh snow or chain-law zones, this setup means less time on the side of the road and more confidence behind the wheel.
Smooth Control in Snow and Ice: Diamond Pattern with Square Links Grips Steady
When traction starts to disappear on packed snow or light ice, the diamond pattern and 3.2 mm square links grab hold to keep your tires connected to the road. The smaller, evenly spaced links help smooth out the ride compared to ladder-style chains, while the diamond layout maintains steady contact for better braking and cornering. It’s a balanced design made for real-world winter driving.
Protects Your Wheels While You Drive: Anti-Scratch Bumpers Prevent Rim Damage
Metal on metal isn’t what you want around your wheels. These chains include built-in anti-scratch bumpers that keep your rims protected as you drive. Whether you’re running alloy or painted wheels, those bumpers act as a cushion so you don’t come back from a snow trip with scraped edges.
Built to Last Season After Season: Nickel Manganese Alloy Steel Resists Corrosion
Snow, salt, and slush can ruin a cheap chain fast. The Snox Pro uses nickel manganese alloy steel that stands up to rust and wear for the long haul. This hardened material keeps its strength and shape through repeated use, so the links stay reliable even after multiple winters of driving in harsh weather.
Designed for Tight Clearances: SAE Class S Certified for Passenger Vehicles
If your wheel wells don’t leave much room, these Class S compatible chains fit right in. They’re engineered for cars and small trucks with limited space between tire and bodywork, giving you the traction you need without rubbing or clearance issues. That makes them a solid choice for everyday winter travel where compact design matters.

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.

The 2nd time I used the chains, the tensioner on one chain would not release, so I could not flip the chains off, and I had to pay a roadside chain removal guy to cut them off. The 90-day warranty seems unreasonable for the price of these chains. I'm not going to buy Pewag chains to replace them.

That is a shame to hear that the clip for the tensioner was not unlatching for you. I have gotten in contact with some of our install team to check this out, and we have found that there are times when the red notch on the tensioner will get stuck due to the amount of tension. So what you can do, is squeeze the tensioner to release some pressure off of the red latch. Then push the red button to release the chains.

dissatisfied with the product. First one of the chains came off the tire, while I was plowing my driveway. On the other chain the 'red' link broke off. Have not used them since !

Colorado, average snow about 6 inches, fist and only time used, Soft snow and road edge harder due to plow, they chains moved and broke immediately, both chains.
I explained exactly what happened, after 2 months with etrailer support, Pewag stated not our fault, did not offer to replace or refund. TERRIBLE Experience and customer service when needed in mid winter. Don't buy, there are many other self tensioning ones to buy at a better price.

I am not very handy and have no intention of installing my chains on the side of the interstate myself if I can help it. I chose these because they are self-tensioning and can be put on without laying on the ground to install them. I tested installing them twice at home, so I am ready in case of emergency when I visit the seirra's this winter.

My Mazda 3's tires are right at the top of the size range, 215/45/R18, and the tire chains fit! It was a bit hard to get them on, though. After fitting the chains loosely, we were struggling to lock the final hooks.
To lock the hooks, we ended up using one of the spare chains that came in the packaging to bridge that final 1-2 inches. Then, we drove a couple inches forward (until the we could hear the self tensioner click a couple times), and that gave us enough slack to connect the hooks without the spare chain.
I do not recommend using the spare chain to actually drive, unless they're professionally welded/attached, but they were super helpful for fitting the chains properly.
Image shows the chains mounted and the hooks properly attached, but with the auto-tensioner off.

These are not easy to install with the wheel on the ground on a VW Jetta. I jacked up the car so there was plenty of room to work, and I could spin the tire to make the needed adjustments. Still not easy, but not bad. They work well, or at least as well as I need them to.

I drive a 1996 Corvette and have for the past 20 years - year round. And that makes driving near impossible in Connecticut winters and hilly terrains. Until I got my Pewag chains. When the snow accumulates, on go my Pewags and away I go. Snow covered roads, no problem, up and down hills, no problem. I can put my Pewags on both tires in less than ten minutes and I am good to go. Great product! I highly recommend Pewag chains.

Sienna
Easy to put on! I have a 2023 Toyota Sienna with original tires 235/60R18 and the pewag RS80 fit perfectly. The pictograph instructions were easy to follow and the chains were quick to get on during my test fit. The instructions being in plastic could be helpful if they get wet and I really like the self tensioning aspect of these chains.
A few notes from the Toyota Sienna manual
1. "Vehicles with 17-inch or 18- inch tires Use SAE Class “S” type radial tire chains....Vehicles with 20-inch tires Tire chains cannot be mounted. Snow tires should be used instead."
-These Pewag tire chains are "s" type and the low clearance fit my 18" wheels easily.
2. "The tire pressure warning valves and transmitters may not function correctly when tire chains are fitted."
-If your vehicle cant read your tire pressure and you have chains on...no big deal.
I really liked the ease with which these chains went on and I'm looking forward to seeing how they perform in the snow.

Fit snugly. Will be a little difficult in the snow but with a pair of gloves on it is doable. The red plastic rim protectors would protect rim from metal on metal contact. However, with my M-sport rims and Pirelli Cinturato P7 tires, the red plastic doesn't even come into contact with the rim due to the extended lip of the tire...but this does mean that the chain touches the outside surface of the tire--see pics. A little off putting scarring the sticky looking surface of the tire...but it is inevitable.
On the inside of the wheel/tire, my concern was contact with the knuckle, strut, end link, stabilizer, etc. It does get close to the stabilizer end link, but doesn't touch...my pictures are shown before self centering while driving...so the spacing to end link would only get greater as I installed in worst case scenario to compare.

I have yet to actually use them but the installation isn't too tricky or complex. Just make sure to follow the instructions on a dry run or two before you think you'll need them ;-)
David

In the year that I have owned these, I have used them exactly once and I can say that under conditions it can be a bit tricky and at times frustrating. I suspect that additional installations on the side of the road will improve the time and patience it takes to install them. Removal was fairly simple, but putting them back into the case can be a challenge - Do note, they will scuff up your rims, but that can be polished out. One key take away: Everythings easier on a dry run literally dry... lol

These chains are amazing to say the least. 2012 GMC Terrain never needed to put chains on it, but we decided to take it on a snow trip. I have used chains in the past on other vehicles and all have been so hard to put on, on so many different levels. It made me hate to have to use them. Now the Pewag Snox Pro are the best chains I have ever used. WOW!!! They were on in less than 5-10 minutes and then taking them off was even easier. One snap of the lock, a few rough tugs, and pulled forward. Shook them of and packed them back up in the awesome case. Smooth ride considering I had chains on and great traction on snow and ice! I did not know I could love chains so much!

It was my first time buying tire chains, and I'm glad I got them when I did. Practicing three times was enough to learn to put them on and off quickly. I drove through two blizzards with the chains. I also risked going through snow without them and got stuck, so I had to shovel my way out and try to put the chains on, which was not easy. Eventually, when I got them on, I quickly got out of the parking lot I got myself stuck in. I recommend getting them if you're expecting heavy snow because you can feel the traction, and your confidence level when on the snow is very high.

I got to test them out for the first time after 4 inches of snow going up a long, steep gravel road full of switchbacks and ice patches in Blue Ridge Mountains. They performed wonderfully and were pretty easy to put on. My only concern are the blue plastic parts that could be a weak point.

I have never been more pleased with a purchase decision than I am with these snow chains. They fit my car perfectly and were easier to install than I expected. If you have ever used on-ground cable chains, you know there are three connections that must be made, plus any adjustments to the tension device. With these chains, the connections are easy and the self-tightening tension device is impressive. At first I was not interested in this feature, but after using it I can appreciate how it will keep the chains tight and secure. I was also impressed by the design of the carrying case. I expected it would be difficult to replace the chains in the case once removed. Wrong. They easily fit back into the handy plastic case. Further, the chains came with plastic gloves to slip over your your hands (even with winter gloves) to keep your hands and lower arms clean. It's a bit odd to be so excited about a product that I hope NOT to use. But I drive to ski resorts all over the West and encounter chain restrictions often. Although I have all-wheel drive, I don't have snow tires and recent chain restrictions in Mammoth, CA require chains or 4-WD with snow tires on all wheels. Now, I'm actually looking forward to using the chains. I'm so pleased, I may purchase a second set for my wife's car. Finally, etrailer.com was great too work with. Their rep ( thanks Donna!) helped me find the right size chains for my wheels. Thanks so much!

Purchased these chains for a trip to the snow and for future use after buying a new vehicle. The chains were received promptly in a well designed carrying case, with a mat, gloves, and instructions for mounting the chains. I haven't had to use them = a Subaru Forester is a great AWD vehicle and handled some pretty dicey conditions with no issue - but carry them and feel confident I can mount and dismount them quickly. Instructions are clear and simple to follow.

The self tensioning feature was what made these chains attractive. After watching the installation video and practicing the installation in dry conditions a few times, I was able to easily install these chains on my Subaru in a ski resort parking lot in South Lake Tahoe, CA in the midst of a snow storm with 8 inches of snow already on the ground. Just needed to clear some of the snow away from around each front tire. Gave me lots of traction to get up and down the mountain roads.

These chains have held up really well. Got the installation process, in stormy snowy conditions, down to 5 minutes or less per wheel. I dont like to rely on the self-tensioning feature so I release the servo and tug on the cable to make sure that the cable is retracted and tightened as much as possible and then I let the self-tensioning feature do its job when I move the vehicle. These chains have gotten me out of my street and to work before the plow comes through the street. Definitely recommend them!

These chains are so easy to use and got me out of a few sticky situations last winter - we had an unusually high amount of unforecasted snowfall, and these chains were perfect. I gave this vehicle and the chains to my stepdaughter. Unfortunately, these chains didn't come in my new SUV's size. If they did, I would have bought these again. I did, however, buy my new self-tensioning chains in a similar pattern from the etrailer. I haven't used them yet but great service from etrailer.

These are for a 2005 Ford Thunderbird and are fantastic! Having had four and all-wheel drive cars for years, these make snow and ice conditions of small issue only needing good driving skills.The ease of installation is perhaps most remarkable taking under ten minutes and drive immediately without any further adjustment. Fit is superb with no impingement in what are very low clearance wheel wells.

Having used them but a few times on a vehicle that surely doesn’t belong in the snow I’m amazed. Not by the performance so much but again in the ease of installation. As to performance, chains are chains in that they work as they should. Cable traction devices do not and do not last for beans. It’s perhaps why you see so many pitched off onto the road or someone off the side trying to unwrap them from their axle. These not only do the job but adjust immediately, stay on and take but a few minutes to remove.
