  • pewag
  • Square Link

Just stretch these Snox over your tires to install, and the chains will automatically tension around your wheels as you drive. Diamond pattern and square links deliver a smooth ride. Includes anti-scratch bumpers. Ideal for snow and light ice.


Features:

  • Provides excellent traction in snow and ice
    • Square links dig in and provide good grip - small size makes for a less bumpy ride.
    • Diamond pattern offers constant traction and a smoother ride than ladder patterns
  • Made for passenger vehicles with limited wheel-well clearance
    • Meets SAE Class S standards
  • Automatically tightens around tire as you drive - no need to stop and tension
    • Easily stretch to fit over tires - similar to traditional snow socks
    • Drive off and chains will self-tension for a perfect fit
  • Removes easily using the quick-release latch to loosen chains
  • Protects wheel rims from scratches with anti-scratch bumpers
  • Resists corrosion thanks to nickel manganese alloy steel construction
  • Packaged in durable storage case


Specs:

  • Fits: 15" - 18" tires (for exact sizes, see below)
  • Link thickness: 3.2 mm
  • Quantity: 2 chains
  • 90-Day warranty


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.


The pewag Snox Pro chains are great winter weather chains if you live in an area where you're likely to get periodic snow and ice. They're durable, give you constant traction - and they're lightweight and compact, so they store in your vehicle nicely too. If you're more likely to see seriously icy conditions, you may want a chain with V-bar links that can really bite into the ice to give you maximum traction.


With these chains, installation is a snap. There's no need to crawl around on the ground to make connections - just tug the chains around your tire to get them into place, and then drive off. The Snox will self-tension while you're driving to tighten perfectly around your tires. Once you stop driving, the tensioners release, making these chains equally simple and quick to pull off when you reach dry pavement.


Class S Designation

SAE Class S tire chains are designed for use on passenger vehicles with restricted wheel-well clearance. Most newer cars, vans, and small trucks - especially those with large aftermarket tires - will require Class S chains. If you're unsure about the class of your vehicle, consult your vehicle's owner's manual.


SAE Class S Clearance Diagram

These chains will fit your tires provided there is both:

  • 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. You'll also need to know how much clearance is in your wheel well, which you can determine by measuring from your tire tread to the sidewall of the wheel well.


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. Even low-profile 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.


Installation of pewag Snox Pro Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains

Grasp both ends of the red cord and pull outward to activate the self-tensioning system

1. Grasp the red cord on each side of the self-tensioning device and pull outward to activate.


Place the red self-tensioning system at the back of the tire and drape the chain along the face of the wheel to position the red bungee at the bottom of the tire

2. Position the red cord over your tire, pulling it to the back. Then tug the cord down to fit it around the bottom of the tire.


3. Drive forward 1/4 of a tire revolution, keeping your wheels straight.


Once the bungee has been placed completely around the tire, pull on your assembly to make sure the chains are snug

4. Pull the rest of the chain around your tire so that the cross chains are positioned on top of the tire tread.


5. Once the chains are properly positioned, drive forward. The Snox Pro chains will automatically tighten and center themselves as you drive. No manual adjustment is necessary.


Tensioners automatically disengage

The tensioners automatically disengage when your car comes to a stop. To remove the chains, you can simply pull them off, or you can press the quick-release latch, which provides more slack in the chains to allow even faster removal.


Quick Tips:

  • Lengthen the life of snow chains by drying them after each use before you store them.
  • Check out our installation kit with safety lights and a kneeling pad (PO34FRK) to make things a little easier when you're installing chains out in the snow.

How to Choose Snow Chains for Your Vehicle

To choose the right snow chain, you must match your tire size. Those measurements can be found on the side of your tire.


Tire size on sidewall

185/60-15

  1. (185) - indicates tire width in millimeters
  2. (60) - gives you the aspect ratio (sidewall height as percentage of width)
  3. (15) - denotes the diameter of the wheel rim in inches

  • Recommended Tire Chains For 225/75R16 Tires on Ram ProMaster
    My favorite tire chains for the 225/75R16 tires on your Ram ProMaster are Pewag, with the correct fit being the following part number: - Pewag Snox Pro Tire Chains # PWSXV580 There are a number of reasons why the # PWSXV580 are going to be the best option, starting with the ease of use. Putting them on your tires only requires you to drape them over the top of your tires, pull forward a smidge, pull the rest of the chain over the tire and drive off.

  • Tire Chains with 10mm or Less Clearance for a 2014 Ford Escape with 235/55R17 Tires
    If your 2014 Ford Escape has the 235/55-17 tires then I recommend the Pewag Snox # PWSXV580. The chain links are smaller than 10mm and the chains overall require less clearance than what the Ford owner's manual is specifying making them an excellent option. I have linked a video review of these chains for you.

  • Tire Chain Recommendation for 2008 Honda CR-V
    I do have a solution for the 225/65R17 tires on your 2008 Honda CR-V, but the Titan Chain Diagonal Alloy Cable Snow Tire Chains # TC315DC will not fit that tire size. For your application I recommend going with the pewag Snox Pro Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains # PWSXV580. These not only have actual chains as opposed to the cheaper cables, but these are also Class S rated for lower clearance which is what is required to keep components behind your tires from being damaged by chains, according...

  • Recommended Snow Tire Chains For Honda Pilot 2013 5DR 4WD-EX-L
    The QCC Premium Cobra 1046P chains you mentioned are not the only option, they are just a recommended option from Honda due to limited clearance. We have other limited clearance options for your P235/60 R18 tires on your 2013 Honda Pilot 5DR 4WD EX-L. The Titan chains # TC2829CAM are confirmed to fit your tires, but I don't recommend them because they are not for the limited clearance that is labeled class S.

  • Recommended Tire Chains for Use on 2008 Honda Pilot
    I checked the online edition of the owner's manual for the 2008 Honda Pilot for any guidance or restrictions concerning use of tire chains. Some vehicle can use chains on only one axle or the other; and some vehicles can use chains only on specific tire sizes. Page 268 of the online manual indicates to use only special low-profile Class S type chains, which we do offer, along with rubber tensioners and then only on the front axle. The stock tires size on your Pilot is 235/70-16 and we...

    I am happy to help you with tire chains for your 2018 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk Edition for use in California where tire chain requirements vary depending on conditions. The state's three Chain Requirement Levels (R1, R2 and R3) can even call for chains on 4-wheel drive vehicles that have snow tires; this is part of the R2 level. Tire chains can be selected by determining your specific tire size. Tire size will be molded into the sidewall of your tires, such as 225/65R17. Your 2018 Cherokee...

  • Is 1 or 2 Sets of Tire Chains Needed on a 2011 Honda CR-V All Wheel Drive
    According to the owner's manual for your 2011 Honda CR-V tire chains should only be used on the front 2 tires. The "chains" it recommends are actually cables. For ladder style cables that fit the 225/65-17 tires on the 2011 Honda CR-V use # TC1042. But you could also use chains # PWSXV580 since they are Class S rated (meaning they stick out 1.46 inches or less from the tread and 0.59 inches or less on the sides).

  • Choosing Pewag PWSXV580 Snox Pro or Thule XG12 Pro TH01594245 Snow Chains for 2016 Ford Transit Van
    Performance wise, the Thule XG-12 Self-Tensioning Tire Chains, part # TH01594245 and the Pewag # PWSXV580 Snox Pro chains are pretty similar. Both use square chain links for superior bite into slick surfaces. As far as ease of installation, I'd give the Pewag Chains a slight edge. I also like the way the Pewag chains have the permanently installed bumpers that prevent the chains from damaging the vehicle's wheels, rather than the more temporary ones on the Thule chains. Another plus,...

  • Snow Chains for 2018 Rav4
    Snow Chains are sold based on the tire size on the vehicle. The 2018 Rav4 were sold with two tire options; the 235/55-R18 (SE, Limited, Platinum, or Adventure) or the 225/65-R17 (LE, XLE) If you have a different size tire let me know and I will adjust the recommendation. For the 235/55-R18, or the 225/65-R17, I recommend the Pewag # PWSXV580 snow chains. They are so close in size that they use the same chain. This chain is easy to install, has a diamond chain pattern that works very...

  • Recommended Tire Snow Chains For A 2022 Honda CR-V That Can Be Used Multiple Times
    For your 2022 Honda CR-V, I recommend the pewag Snox Pro Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains # PWSXV580. These tire chains will fit your tire sized 235/60-18, and feature an automatic tensioning system that will center and tighten your chains as you drive, so there is no manual adjustment needed. These chains can be used multiple times, and will preform great in snowy or Icey conditions.

    The Konig Premium Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - K-Summit - Size K44 # TH02230K44 cannot have chains added to fit the new tire size. You would need the Size K66 # TH02230K66 for the correct fit on your 225/65R17 tires. If you want other options confirmed to fit, I've attached a link to the confirmed fits. Although the K-Summit is the best option because it has no addition to the internal clearance so there will be plenty of room between the inner sidewall...

  • Will Pewag Tire Chains # PWSXV580 Fit Tire Sizes 235/65-17 and 235/60-17
    It really depends on the specific tire chain you have. Some chain fits overlap but it really depends on what you have. The part # PWSXV580 only fits the 235/65-17 and 235/60-17 so if that's the chain you have you'd be good.

  • Recommended Class S Compatible Tire Chains For 2012 Toyota RAV4 With 225/65R17 Tires
    The Pewag Snox Pro Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains, part # PWSXV580 you referenced is designed to fit the 225/65R17 tires you have on your 2012 Toyota RAV4. I measured the chains on this system and the width of the chains is 11.46 mm. You mentioned the owner's manual said the chains were to be 10 mm. These would be approximately 1/16 inch wider than you stated the manual said is needed. For 4-wheel drive vehicles you can use 1 or 2 sets of chains. With only 1 set of chains, they are...

    The Pewag Tire Chains # PWSXV580 that you referenced are confirmed to fit the 245/50R18 tires you have on your 2014 BMW X3. However, you will need to consult the owners manual of your vehicle to determine if there are any snow chain restrictions before you purchase anything. These chains are 3.2 mm thick so they would clear in most tight areas. I attached a review video for these chains for you to check out as well to the right.

  • Tire Chains for Trip to the Mountains in 2008 4WD Honda Pilot
    In your owner's manual in the 'tire' section, Honda states that only Class S cable-style tire chains should be used on your Pilot. A class S chain will not extend more than 15mm above or to the inside of the tire, preventing the chain from coming into contact with any braking, suspension or steering components. Assuming you have 235/70-16 tires on your Pilot, I'd recommend the Glacier Cable Snow Chains # PW2119V. Since you may have limited need, if at all, I would recommend this economical...

    The only tire chain that we currently have listed as a fit for the 245/50-18 tires on your 2014 BMW X3 are the Pewag Snox Pro Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains, # PWSXV580. These chains are Class S rated, which means they also qualify for the Class U rating. Class U is actually less restrictive than Class S, so these will work great for you.

    You will use tire chains on the rear tires only of your 2012 BMW X3 (consult the owner's manual to confirm). Even though the manual does not specify that you have to use Class S chains I still recommend using them because they require minimal clearance. The Class S chains we have for your 245/50-18 tires are the Thule Low-Pro chains # TH04115245 and the Pewag Snox, # PWSXV580. Between these 2 I recommend the Thule chains because nothing installs faster or easier. If you don't want to...
