Get consistent traction and a smooth ride when driving in snow and on light ice with these commercial truck snow chains. Lightweight chains are quick and easy to install. Built-in tensioner lets you easily tighten chain without tools.

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 Konig XB-16 Pro tire chains are great all-purpose, winter weather chains. If you live in an area where you're likely to get periodic snow and ice, these Konig chains are perfect because they're durable and easy to mount. 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.
These chains are among the easiest and fastest to install because they have built-in tensioners that you can just pull taut to adjust the fit. These tensioners allow the chains to fit your tires, no matter the profile or wear pattern. And because the tensioners are built-in, you never have to worry about losing them like you might with other chains on the market.
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 these 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.
Installing these chains is incredibly simple.
1. Lay out the chains on the ground to make sure there are no twists or kinks in the chains.
2. Slide the chain behind the tire and connect the ends of the blue cable, which will sit behind the tire.
3. Around front, connect the red hook to the red link.
4. At the bottom of the tire, feed the tensioning chain through the large clip and tug it until it's tight.
5. Feed the tensioning chain through as many red clips along the side chain as you can, leaving room to still be able to stretch the hook across the tire. Attach the hook to the side chain directly across from the last clip you ran the tensioner through. The hook should face away from your tire.
6. Drive forward around 325' (about the length of a football field) and stop. Check the chains and tighten them as needed.
Quick Tips:
To choose the right snow chain, you must match your tire size. Those measurements can be found on the side of your tire.

These chains were way too light duty for me. They were too small to even get through the snow down to the ice. In addition, the connectors are very small and very difficult to hook together with gloves on. Once they fill with snow and ice and they freeze, good luck getting them off as well. Ended up buying a set of regular old chains for half the price
Shipping was fast and accurate. When I called customer service at 6 p.m., an employee answered quickly and answered my questions efficiently.
The installation videos helped greatly, and these chains seem to be holding up well. After driving through snow and slush, I tried removing the chains. The tension clip was difficult to open because of the frozen slush. I proceeded to chip out the ice laying in the dark to remove the chains. Overall, great chains and I am glad they went on easily. I make sure to bring them inside after use in order to melt the ice.
More. Companies should be more like ETrailer. Great customer servixe
Bought these two years ago for use with my 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 for driving on the lake pulling an ice house. First time out after buying them, I got the ice house hung up on a snowbank. Threw a set of these on the rear tires and got out with ease. Super easy to instal on the go even while stuck. Only reason for a 4 star over a 5 star is the plastic clips for running the tension chain through seem weaker than I’d like.
I haven’t used the tire chains yet, but they are in my truck ready to put on if needed. Might need a video of how to put them on as a refresher. Thanks- Paul
I used the chains for the first time and they worked great. I have a 2 wheel drive truck and I was able to go through the snow like I had 4 wheel drive.
The chains came the day before I had to make the drive across CA Hywy 88 in what looked like bad weather so I was glad to have them with me. Did not need them that day but 2 days later it had snowed. Road was plowed but still had ice in places. Again did not need them but being CA they will ask to see that you are in fact carrying chains in the vehicle. Tried them on when I got home and they fit both trucks just fine...easy on and easy off...and not made in China. Can't wait to really need them!
Thanks for great service again and a great product.

have not had to use them, but they fit both truck tire sizes and install quickly and easily
I highly recommend these chains! I have a 99 Dodge 2500 diesel that I use for plowing in Northern NH. The ease with which these chains install and the self tensioning system make them well worth the purchase.
Awesome service. Was promptly sent tracking info and it arrived when you said it would! Amazing. Have yet to try the chains but they looks good

Excellent. Very easy and fast to install. Durable.
Purchased your Konig Standard Snow Tire Chains based on the terrific video by Alan. He gave great advice on installing the chains. We reviewed it again yesterday before we tested our installation skills on our 2021 Tahoe. Encountered ZERO issues. Appreciate also the weather protected instructions. Great product!
High quality chains. Selection, service, ordering all first rate. This is a good company, already ordered tires because of this.

Great chains they work well on snow on my Chevy diesel 2500
Every year we travel north into the mountains. For years we used the traditional snow chains on my Chevy Tahoe. For the past couple of years we have used my son's Cherokee with this type chains. The chains are go on fast and provide good traction. I now own a new Tahoe and purchased the same type of chains. Based on previous experiences I'm looking forward to to easy installation and good traction when driving in the snow.
The chains arrived in two or three days and most importantly they fit. I had ordered chains from another company that did not fit and I had to call them twice and send 4 e-mails just to get a return started.
etrailer was fast, responsive and accurate. The chains go on extremely easy and I won’t have a chance to use them for about two weeks when try to make the last uphill mile of my 5 mile road when I get back home to the New Mexico/Colorado border.
Haven’t had an opportunity to use the chains just yet, but experience with etrailer very positive. Prices were the most competitively I found for a proper business (i.e. - not eBay), and the items shipped within an hour of my order late night on the weekend. They were packed adequately and arrived in perfect shape, as expected. Great job etrailer!
I cannot give a fair evaluation of the product's performance or durability, but I did to a trial fit and they fit as described. The videos provided by etrailer were an excellent guide. I hope to never have to use these things, but glad I have them just in case.
Haven't installed them yet but the chains look good and we're delivered in a timely manner. Thanks
Great experience / Easy to use website, great communication, arrived ahead of schedule. Definitely recommend.
Item arrived as ordered
