Features to know about

Getting Stuck on Icy Hills or Snow-Covered Roads: Diamond Pattern Grips Smooth and Strong

When snow stacks up or ice coats the climb, these pewag Brenta-C chains bite in where normal tires can’t. The diamond pattern keeps more of the chain in constant contact with the ground, so traction stays steady instead of slipping between gaps. The square links dig deep for reliable grip yet ride smoother than ladder-style chains, so you can keep control on steep or uneven roads without the jolt and bounce.

Fighting With Cold Hands and Hard Installs: Built-In Tensioners Do the Work

Out in the cold, every minute counts. These chains tighten quickly using the built-in tensioner—just tug the red section and the chain pulls snug around your tire. No extra tools, no missing parts to fumble with. The color-coded hooks and clips make the process clear even in low light or blowing snow. It’s a setup that anyone can manage in just a few minutes, even on both sides, and once tensioned they stay put without slipping.

Dealing With Tight Wheel Wells: Class S Design Sits Close and Clear

When space around the tire is limited, bulky chains can rub or jam. These meet SAE Class S standards, meaning they’re made for vehicles with restricted wheel-well clearance. The low-profile design sits close to the tread and sidewall, giving you the traction you need without the risk of interference.

Worried About Corrosion or Season-After-Season Use: Titanium Alloy Steel Holds Up

Snow, salt, and slush can eat through regular chains, but not these. The titanium alloy steel resists rust and corrosion while keeping its strength through repeated use. Dry them after each trip and store them in the reusable hard case that comes in the box, and they’ll be ready for the next storm year after year.

One Set That Covers Common Tire Sizes: Fits 14" – 17-1/2" Tires

Whether you’re running smaller or mid-range tires, these chains are built to fit a wide range—from 14" up to 17-1/2". Each pair includes two chains and comes backed by a 90-day warranty for peace of mind through winter driving season.

  • 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.

Class S Designation

  • A: a minimum of 1.46" (37 mm) between the top of the tire tread and the wheel well
  • B: at least 0.59" (15 mm) between the tire's sidewall and the vehicle

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.

Video Transcript for pewag Brenta C Tire Chains: The Breakdown

What's going on everybody. Adam here with etrailer. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Pewag Brenta-C, 4x4 Snow Tyre Chains. With the chains we are going to get square links all the way around. They are going to be made of a titanium alloy steel so they're going to be extra strong. So they should last you through a couple of different seasons.

So, we are going to have a diagonal pattern here, which is nice. I like them just because on the vehicle we're using now, it has front wheel drive so when we're turning and stuff, these little links that go in between the two different diamonds that we get are going to be great for turning, stopping and starting as well. These do come in a pair of two. So if you just plan on putting it on the front, all you need to do is just grab one of these. Just put your tyre size in our fit guide on the website, just to make sure they're going to fit.But it does come at a pretty hefty, little carrying case.

I like it just because some of the canvas bags that you get over time, they rip and stuff like that. This has plenty of space to be able to put both of our chains in there. A lot of room, really easy, and these are lots easier to install and store away than ladder inaudible 00:01:17 chain. So, I highly recommend it. Just, especially for our low wheel well clearance that we have.

We don't have a lot. These aren't S-Class compatible, but they really do sit relatively closer to the tyre than some of the other ladder pattern style chains. It all just depends on the link size. Another thing I really like about this is we don't have to worry about any rubber tensioners. A lot of the times we put these things on and we have to buy a rubber tensioner separately.

I don't really like buying something separately. Just grab something that is going to be easy to install and comes with everything this one does.And the nice thing about the tensioner it's connected. We don't have to worry about losing it. I lose everything. So this is going to be a lot easier to just keep in the bag. In the back of my vehicle. Everything's all connected and ready to go. Everything around the rim too, is coated. So with that titanium alloy steel, that is an extremely strong alloy metal. Extremely strong. So it will possibly mess up the rims, but they coded them. So we don't have to worry about that. Everything around there is coded. As you can see here, and the rubber tensioner it's rubber. So it's not going to do any damage there. Other than that, it's extremely easy installation process. So let's just go ahead and show you guys how. First things first, lay out your chains. Make sure there's no tangles, kinks in your links or anything like that.And then, we're going to take the back portion here and slide it back behind our tyre. The goal is to get it on the other end. I want to make sure we get as much of that stuff over here as possible. Make sure it doesn't get tangled up back there. So then, we'll take both of our size. We're going to have two little hooks on there. They're going to, kind of just link together. Like so, I'm going to show you down here just because we don't have a whole lot of wheel well clearance. So you're going to go in the wheel well up, in behind the tyre and make that connection that is showed here. And while we're back here, grab all your chains, kind of drape them up and over. Now we're going to go ahead and make the connection up front. We're going to have a little red hook and a red link.That's a tome. So just connect those up top like that and just make sure that cables tucked behind the tyre. Now that it's nice and even try to get that red portion to be right centered on top of the wheel here. Now we'll take our little tensioner here. I like this tensioner just because it's coated. So it's not going to damage the rim or anything. It's also going to be a lot easier on your hands. So we'll fit it in that little piece there. Give it a good tug. Maybe one more. That's pretty tight. Okay, so we're going to take the little red hook right here. We're going to kind of go through that. And then, once it gets through there, we're going to try to go across wherever our little red hook is here and make our connection just like that. We're not done yet. We're done with the installation process, but we do want you to roll over it a couple times, come back out. Make sure it's still nice and tight and it's so we're ready to hit the road. And that's pretty much it for a look at the Pewag Brenta-C, 4x4 Snow Tyre Chain..

I am disabled and being cold is not an option for me. after watching a video on youtube and reading the instructions ( pictures included) i installed these chains in 4 mins BOTH SIDES.
first time iv been off the ranch in 6 days! I have a 2007 kia sportage with goodrich 215/70/R16 allterrain tires and couldnt get traction because of the snow over ice condictions on steep hills.
no problem now! couldnt believe how easy they r to install and they never slipped once!! I would also recomend these for seniors and younger drivers ( they r that easy to install)!
by:
Easy on easy off perfect fit! The quality exceeded my expectations heavy duty unique design. Noah at Etrailer was extremely helpful in getting the right vendor and product that I needed to properly fit my Ineos Grenadier. Icy packed roads will no longer be a challenge with this set of snow chains.

Glad you are liking them, Lewis! I will let Noah know they are working well for you! : ) And sweet car! Those Grenadiers are pretty cool and capable. Where are you located that it's so icy?

I think the snow chains are made of exceptional quality. Unfortunately I cant evaluate their performance at this time due to just receiving them in October. I can follow my review at a later date.
by:
Finally found the time to do a dry fit. The chains appear to fit well. These chains are for a 3/4 ton diesel truck. I'm a little concerned about some of the perimeter chain links on the outside face of the chain installation. These are used to set the final tension of the chain. There are several that are not welded. Not sure how strong the steel is for those links, but am concerned that under load, the links could open up in some situations releasing the tensioning. Must not be a problem due to other good reviews, but I will have to keep an eye on those links if I ever put those chains into service.

So far we have had a mild winter and I have not had a need to put the chains on. We are at risk for snow for the next 30 days or so, might still get a chance to use them.

@Lowell Well Lowell as the saying goes, "It's better to have them and not need them than to need them and not have them."
by:
They are quality made and easy on easy off. Great chains
by:
One thing to remember, when putting on or off the chains make sure the free red chain with the bungee and hook at its end is clear. Ideally the whole thing should face you. Do not yank the chain quickly either putting it on or off. If you do that red chain may flip up and the bungee hook around a brake line. If it does you will need to go under the vehicle to unhook it.

Once you figure your way around that mistake, they go on/off as you might expect.
