These Titan Chain ladder-pattern chains are great winter weather chains for your truck. The rounded twist links provide traction in deep snow - and some traction on ice - and they give you a smoother ride than traditional square links. If you're more likely to see seriously icy conditions where you live, you may instead want a chain with square or V-bar links that can really bite into the ice for more traction.
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 simple.
1. Lay out the chains on the ground to make sure there are no twists or kinks.
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.
3. On the back of the tire, pull the chain tight and hook the ends together.
4. Repeat this on the side chain on the front of the tire, then clamp the lever to fasten extra chain links and keep them from flapping as you drive.
5. Drive forward 2-3 vehicle lengths and recheck the chain tension. Rubber adjusters (sold separately) can be used to help give you a tight fit. Make sure the hooks on the adjusters face away from your tire so your wheels don't get scratched.
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.

Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Toyota Tacoma we're gonna be test-fitting the Titan chain snow tire chains, part number TC2221. These chains are designed for those deep snow situations. The twist lengths will give you excellent traction in deep snow and adequate traction on ice. It does have a ladder pattern design to it, which is gonna help out with effective starts and stops, and also with the twist links that's gonna limit the jarring while you're driving. Now comparing this to the square link design with other tire chains, those will actually wear more evenly over time and still provide the stability that you're needing with both snow and ice as well.Going behind the tire you can also see it's not gonna interfere with any of the cables or mechanisms on the inside. In fact there's plenty of space in between that and the suspension.
This comes in a quantity of two, has a maximum speed rating of 30 miles per hour when you're using them, and also comes with a convenient carrying bag, so once you take the chains off and have them dried off, you can place them in the back part of your truck and they're ready for next time.Today we're working with tire size 245-75-R16. We went ahead and laid the chain out in front of the tire like you see here to make sure there's no kinks in the lines before we make our install, and we also like to recommend that you wear gloves while you install these. Next we'll take our chain, we'll drape it around our tire as evenly as possible, and now we can go to the inside of the tire and make our first connection.Next we'll take our hook end here and connect it to our link like so, then go back to the front of the tire and make our connection there. We'll take our link end, put our hook through that, bend it back, and that's not quite enough tension that we want, so we'll just go to the next link, and there we go. And next we'll grab a rubber tensioner, which is sold separately, and attach that.All right, we'll be using part number TCMA2 today for our rubber tensioner.
You can find this on etrailer.com. And we'll just go around, and as we do this you'll see it's taking out the tension. And at this point what I'll do is drive a brief distance, double check and make sure the tension's working properly, and then you're gonna be good to go.There you have it for the Titan chain snow tire chains on the 2018 Toyota Tacoma.
