pewag Tire Chains - PWE2219SC

  • Tire Chains
  • On Road Only
  • Deep Snow
  • Assisted
  • pewag
  • Square Link
  • Not Class S Compatible
  • Drive On and Connect
  • Ladder Pattern

Get excellent traction in extreme conditions. Grooved links and ladder pattern provides traction for your vehicle in snow, ice, and mud. Reversible design allows for wear on either side for longer-lasting chains. Cams allow easy tensioning.


Features:

  • Provides excellent traction for your vehicle in snow, ice, and mud
    • Square links are grooved to dig in better than traditional square links
    • Ladder pattern gives you traction as you drive forward
  • Lasts longer than typical chains - reversible design allows for wear on either side
  • Installs with effortless tensioning - just twist cams to pull the chain taut around the tire
    • Rubber adjusters (sold separately) are recommended for a tight fit
  • Resists corrosion thanks to nickel manganese alloy steel construction
    • Case hardened for strength and durability
  • Made in the USA


Specs:

  • Fits: 14" - 17-1/2" tires (for exact sizes, see below)
  • Link thickness: 5.6 mm (0.22")
  • 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.


These pewag ladder-patterned chains are great winter weather chains for your SUV, truck, or 4WD vehicle. Not only do the grooved square links dig into deep snow and ice better than rounded or standard square links, but the reversible design of these chains also allows them to wear under standard use much longer than other chains. And if you're partial to American-made products, you'll be happy to know that these are made in Colorado.


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.


Installing Snow Chains

Installing these chains is simple.


Lay chains on the ground to get all the tangles out

1. Lay out the chains on the ground to make sure there are no twists or kinks.


Drape chains over tire.

2. Drape the chain over your tires, making sure that the prongs attaching the cross chains to the side chains face away from your sidewalls. Drive forward about half a tire rotation.


Connect the chain behind the tire

3. On the back of the tire, pull the chain tight and hook the ends together. Repeat this on the front of the tire.


Twist cams

4. Insert the included tool into the cam and twist to tighten the sidewall chain. Twist as many cams as it takes to get a tight fit.


Attach optional tensioners

5. Drive forward 2-3 vehicle lengths and recheck the chain tension. Tighten any loose cams. If needed, rubber adjusters (sold separately) can help you get a tight fit. Make sure the hooks on the adjusters face away from your tire so your wheels don't get scratched.


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

by:

Superb quality workmanship and material s.



by:

Appears to be of high quality. Ordered 2 sets and arrived in a timely manner.



by:

Didn't include a cam wrench, or a recommendation to order the wrench separately. What came is what I ordered but not what I needed to use the product. So: average.



by:

Great product. Use Pewag's sizing chart.



by:

We use these on our Frieghtliner M2's and these are the only chains that we haven't had break. I will only use pewag in the future.



by:

Used Christmas Eve in 10 inches of snow. F150 climbed two miles, up to a mountain neighborhood, for family gathering. Easy to fit. Didn't loosen.



by:

Hi Carol,

The chain packaging was
op0ened and looked pre-used with holes in the sack as well.

There were no cable ends included to pull the chains over the tires so I am unsure these are correct for 235/55 R20 tires as listed. For now will use another vehicle, I may need to exchange thes, ideally that will not be a problem for you guys.

thank you!



by:

Overpriced compared to competitors by 100% Have yet to check size



by:

Nice Chains---The chains we received were for a light truck. The tires we have are P215 70R15 and the chains do not fit. We need 2 more links to make them even come close to closing. We have the truck in the garage in ideal conditions--but if we were out on the road---this is impossible. Sent an e-mail to e-trailers and waiting for a response. Also, 2 of the side links have been put on backwards from the factory.



by:

the chains showed up and appear to be correct, thank you



by:

Great set of chains, fit as they should, and best of all, THEY ARE NOT FROM CHINA. The service from etrailer was great as usual.



by:

Service that can’t be beat. Ordered and received snow chains in mere days and just before the January 2022 blizzard . Pamela, you’re awesome.

  • Use of Tire Chains on a 5th Wheel Trailer
    Tire chains are usually only placed on a tow vehicle, and then only on the drive wheels. We do not have any experience with using or recommending them for use on the tires of a 5th wheel trailer. This is something I would approach very cautiously and only after contacting the trailer maker for approval. Have your trailer VIN handy when you call them. Chains vary in how much clearance they need within the fenders/wheel wells and this is an important consideration. Also, the specific tire...

  • Recommended Class U Tire Chains for 2011 Mercedes Sprinter Dually
    Using the part # PWE2219SC that you referenced would provide 1 pair of chains to cover two single tires. If you wanted chains on all four rear tires, part # PWE4219SC would be a better choice for dual wheels. You would need one set for each side. Should you follow the advice of Mercedes and chain all four rear tires, or just two of them? That will have to be up to your discretion. Having all four rear tires chained up will provide superior traction versus having chains on two tires. As...

  • Snow Chain Recommendation for Forest River Solera on Sprinter Chassis w/ LT215/85R16 Tires
    You could certainly install the chains on the outermost tire on each side. I'd recommend going with the Thule # TH01571245 standard show chains. This set includes rubber tensioners to keep the chain snug to the tire. The chain links are constructed of manganese nickel alloy steel for long life and corrosion resistance. The chains are covered by a 5 year warranty. I've linked you to some FAQ articles about tire chains. I hope you'll find them helpful.

  • Recommended Snow Chains for 28 Foot Motor Home with LT225/75R-16 Tires
    According to Glacier Chain, the # PW1042 cable snow tire chains you mentioned are indeed a fit for the LT225/75R-16 tires you mentioned. These cable chains are perfect for emergency use, but are not the most durable of choices. If you are planning frequent trips into areas where the chains might be needed, I would recommend something that would be more durable that you would get many uses from, like the Glacier Square-Link Snow Tire Chains, part # PWE2219SC. Regardless of whether you...

  • Are Snow Tire Chains or Cables Recommended for a 2003 Ford Van
    Both of the snow chains and snow cables will work great in snow conditions. One difference is the snow chains will give you better grip in more ice conditions because the chain links will bite into the ice where as the snow cables tend to slide over the ice. The snow chains will make a little more noise on dry pavement as compared to the snow cables. Cable style chains, like the Glacier Cable Tire Chain, # PW2016C, will provide the best ride comfort, but you will be sacrificing performance...

  • Recommended Pewag Ladder-Snow Tire Chains with Side Cams for LT225 /75 -16 Tires
    Your 1999 GMC C/K Series Pickup's tire information ( LT225/75-16 ) is all you need to track down the Pewag ladder chains that you're looking for. The Tire Load Range isn't a determining factor. You will want to use the Pewag All Square Snow Tire Chains with Cam Tighteners # PWE2219SC. These have the side cams for easier tightening around your tires and have the reversible design that improves the life of the chains. Be sure to refer to your owner's manual for any vehicle specific guidelines...

  • Class U Tire Chains for an LT215/85R16 Tire on a 2008 Winnebago View Motorhome
    The Class U chains required by your 2008 Winnebago, are for regular and all square chains on vehicles with at least 1.97 inches of wheel well clearance. The Pewag All Square Snow Tire Chains with Cam Tighteners, # PWE2219SC, will fit your tire and wheel well. The chain links themselves are only 5.6 millimeters think so there should still be enough clearance between the two tires.
