These Titan Chain diamond-pattern chains are great winter weather chains. If you live in an area where you're likely to get frequent snow and ice, these chains are perfect because they're durable and easy to mount. The links on these chains are thicker than the links on most other low-profile snow chains on the market, so they'll wear better and last longer. But they're still 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.
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. 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 these chains is incredibly simple.
1. Lay out the chains on the ground to make sure there are no twists or kinks.
2. Spread the chain around the back of the tire.
3. Connect the ends of the cable, which will sit behind the tire.
4. Around front, connect the 2 ends of the yellow side chain using the green hook at the top of the tire.
5. At the bottom of the tire, feed the silver tensioning chain through the red channel bracket and pull it taut. Then run the tensioner 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.
6. 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. Pull your vehicle forward 2-3 vehicle lengths and recheck the tension.
How to Choose Snow Chains for Your Vehicle

Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Chrysler Pacifico, we're going to be test fitting the Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains with the diamond pattern, part number TC2517. These Titan chains are strong, and durable, and have a diamond pattern to them with these square link designs here. With the square links, they're going to wear down evenly over time. With the diamond pattern, you get a wider range of coverage around your tire that the ladder pattern is not going to offer. With these chains, they're ideal to be used in situations such a snow and ice because they provide excellent grip and traction in both and good stopping and starting power as well.Other advantages to these chains are how easily they are to install. They simply go behind the tire, hook up very easily, have color codes to them so you know where to go next, and it has its own tensioning system, which eliminates the need to buy any after market rubber tensioners like you would for other tire chains.
The chains are made from a manganese nickel alloy, which is corrosion resistant and adds to its durability. These come in a quantity of two chains. While you use these, you shouldn't be going over 30 miles per hour. Once you're finished using them and they're dried off, it does come with a convenient carrying case so you can have them in the trunk and ready for next time.Today we're working with tire size 235/65-R17's. If you attempt to attach these chains and they don't fit, double check the size and then go to our website to find the proper fit.
We went ahead and laid out the chains off to the side of the tire here because our first step is we're going to slide it underneath. We just want to make sure there's no kinks or runs in the lines. Even though these are particularly easier to install, we do still recommend you wear gloves while you do this. We'll take our yellow end here and we'll slid it behind our tire and grab it on the other side. Then we'll take our two ends, we'll bring them up to the top and make our connection.Grab the chains, and bring them forward around the tire, and this portion back behind, make our connection there, and we'll continue to pull them forward making sure that it's sitting on the tire evenly.
Then we'll come to the bottom of the tire. We'll take the end with our chain, pull it as tight as we can get it, feed that through the loops, and then make our connection to the other chain. With that attached, now we're going to drive a short distance, double check and make sure the tension's working properly, and then we're going to be good to go. Of course, don't forget to put this on the other tire. There you have it for the Titan Chain Alloy Snow tire chains on our 2018 Chrysler Pacifico..
