pewag Tire Chains - PWE3227SC

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

Get excellent grip for your wide tires. Grooved links and ladder pattern provide traction in snow, ice, and mud. Chains mount easily and tension with cams. Reversible design allows for wear on either side for longer-lasting chains.


Features:

  • Provides excellent traction for the wide tires on your truck, SUV, or 4WD vehicle
    • Square links are grooved to dig into deep snow, mud, and ice 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:

  • Application: super-single and wide-base-rim tires
  • Fits: 15" - 17-1/2" tires (for exact sizes, see below)
  • 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. 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. 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 chains 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.


Recheck tension

5. Drive forward 2-3 vehicle lengths and recheck the chain tension. Tighten any loose cams. If needed, rubber adjusters (sold separately) can be used to 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

Chains fit my tires very well and appear to be very well made.



by:

Great service and knowledge of product. Delivered ahead of schedule.



by:

These are excellent chains! These chains were the number 1 choice when I use to plow snow for the county for 20+ years. Very quick delivery of 3 days!



by:

Great service as usual.



by:

Heavy durable chains . Wish the tightening tool was longer for more leverage .



by:

We haven't had any snow since purchase.



by:

As in all things in life.. the best time to sell a home, car, watch or whatever is BEFORE YOU HAVE to! This supplier is great, the product is great, I need them for a trip this coming December, thats why I bought them now.



by:

All I can tell you is that they're heavy. I purchased them "just in case" and didn't need them last year. Hopefully, I won't ever need them. Heck; I don't even know if they actually fit, I never even tried them on.



by:

These bad boys eat through snow like a sumo wrestler at a buffet table.... They bite into ice and snow like a grizzly feasting on salmon. Definitely take the time to learn to put these on and actually put them on before you need them!! Helpful online videos if this is your first prom dance...



by:

Chains worked very well. They were easy to install and they provided good traction.

  • Recommended Tire Chains for 1996 Ford Bronco with 31x10.50-15 and Chevy 2500 with 265/70-16 Tires
    For your 1996 Ford Bronco with 31 x 10.50-15 tires I recommend the Pewag square link tire chains, part # PWE3210SC. A lot of chains are made with a hard metal on the exterior but are much softer once you get through the outer layer, but not these. They're made of a high quality manganese alloy steel that's solid all the way through. They also have cam tighteners that are easy to use. The square links provide maximum contact and dig into the ice and snow compared to twist link chains. Go...

  • Recommended Tire Chains For 32x10R15 Tires On A UTV
    Hello Shawn. For the 32x10R15 tires on your UTV I recommend the pewag Wide Base Tire Chains w Cams # PWE3227SC. These are you standard ladder-style chains and the cams help ensure a snug fit. I do suggest that you also use the Rubber Adjuster # TCMA2 which will help to provide the proper tension. Our install and review video for these chains is linked below.

  • Will Pewag All Square Snow Tire Chains fit 265/65/R17 Tires on Toyota Prado
    The Pewag All Square Snow Tire Chains with Cam Tighteners for Wide-Base Tires, # PWE3227SC, which you reference, are a confirmed fit for 265/65/R17 tires, front or rear. We do not have any information about the Toyota Prado since it is not available in the US market, nor do I know the year of the your vehicle. However, my research shows that the Prado is similar to the Lexus GX (it may even be the same vehicle). When I ran the 2014 Lexus GX into our fit guide the Pewag All Square Snow Tire...

  • Tire Chain Recommendation for 2007 Toyota Tundra with 255/70/R18 Size Tires
    Your first step when considering tire chains on any vehicle is a check of the owner's manual for any guidance or restrictions regarding their use. Many vehicles are limited to using special low-profile S-Class chains that do not require too much wheel well clearance. Before purchasing any tire chain check your vehicle's manual carefully and if in doubt speak to your local dealership. Tire chains come in a variety of types and with varying features. Some are on-road only while others can...

  • What is the quantity of Snow Chains I need to Order For an Elk Hunting Trip In the Colorado Rockies
    Snow chains should only be required on the tires on the main drive axle of your vehicle, check with the state of Colorado to be sure. We have an informational article that has some general state by state information for you to review. In your case you would need to order 1 set of two snow chains like the Pewag # PWE3227SC chains featuring cam tightners and all steel square links that provide superior traction. If you want to install chains on all 4 tires, because you have a 4 wheel drive...

  • Can Snow Tire Chains be Installed on a 2008 Ford F-150 XLT
    If there are any restrictions on the use of tire chains for your 2008 Ford F-150 with tire size 265/65-18, then it should be listed in the owners manual. Take a look in the owners manual for any tire chain information. We show several tire sizes for the 2008 Ford F-150 but not 265/65-18. There is a 265/60-18 so you will want to double check that size. If you do end up having 265/60-18 tires and do not plan on using them too often or if you do not live in an area where chains are required,...

  • Class S Tire Chains for 2022 Volkswagen Atlas
    I'd recommend going with the Konig Self-Tensioning Diamond Pattern Snow Chains, part # th2004705265. The chains only extend 12mm to the inside of the tire, offering clearance between the chain and brake, suspension ands steering components. The diamond-shaped profile of the chains allows more contact of the chain to the road surface than what's seen with ladder style chains. The chains are self tensioning and centering, so they're easy to install. I'll link to a demonstration video for...

    The Pewag All Square Snow Tire Chains with Cam Tighteners for Wide-Base Tires - 1 Pair # PWE3227SC you mentioned will work great with the tires you said you have on your 2012 Wrangler. These heavy-duty chains are designed to work well in snow, ice, and mud and also for off-road use. The Glacier Rubber Adjusters, part # PW99 or # PW105 are not required for these chains because they have the cam tensioners integrated. If you will use them regularly then you instead may want the # PWE2439S...
