The V-bar studs on each cross chain of these heavy-duty, twist-link snow chains bite into frozen roads to give you excellent traction in extreme winter weather conditions and in boggy off-road areas. No cams or levers to come loose in rough terrain.

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 chains are outstanding in serious winter weather conditions because the V-bar studs can bust through intense ice and packed snow. So, you'll be able to get to work and back home again even in the toughest weather. You can also use them if you ever go off-roading and end up in a mud-digging situation. These chains are going to help give your vehicle purchase to pull out and keep moving.
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 chain over the tire, ensuring that the V-bar studs face away from 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.
4. Drive forward 2-3 vehicle lengths and recheck the chain tension. Tighten the chain as needed by moving the hook to the next link.
If needed, 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.

The V-bar studs on each cross chain of these heavy-duty, twist-link snow chains bite into frozen roads to give you excellent traction in extreme winter weather conditions and in boggy off-road areas. No cams or levers to come loose in rough terrain.I had high hopes for my purchase since there was great reviews. Unfortunately that was not my experience. First issue, only part of order showed up when delivered. Reached out to etrailer to investigate. A few days later they shipped out the other set of chains I ordered. That issue was resolved. Second issue, I knew I would need to trim back the extra links on my chains, I was shocked as to how much I needed to cut off. It included a section of the ladder chain. Which ultimately wasn’t really an issue, I just think it should be clear this is a cut to fit tire chain, not a trim. I double checked the website, the canvas bag, and my tires, this was an appropriate set for those tires. Ultimately I’m very satisfied with the product. Not satisfied with seller/delivery.
I’ve not had to use these yet, but I have installed them just to make sure they fit and I know what I’m doing when the time comes. These give me piece of mind, plain and simple. I’ve had and used other types of chains and they just do last like they should for the cost - these will. They’re very robust and a must have if you regularly drive in environments where this type of safety/recovery gear is either required or strongly suggested.
Quick and easy. One of my chain tensioner's broke and they had new ind out to me asap. I’ve always had a good experience with these folks.
These are first rate quality HD tire chains. They're a good fit on my tires. As suggested, I practiced putting them on for first time in dry weather. From watching video instructions, I was able to attach and adjust chains w/out issue. I tightened them with three 15 " rubber bungees. Haven't had to use them yet.
I’m impressed. These tire chains are the real deal. I looked at various options online, Amazon, etc. I found etrailer. First, the web page is packed with info, tutorials, etc. once I ordered there was continuous communication. I downgraded from a 4x4 to a 4x2, and drive up to Buffalo, NY, from coastal Carolina. These chains are impressive and will provide traction and ease of mind going through the snow belt areas along Lake Erie and parts of the blue ridge mountains. I’ve hit heavy snow on this trip and wished I had a good tire chain. This resolved it. Installing is a breeze be sure to get the tire chain adjusters with them! Excellent service!
The chains work as expected. Got me out of the mud twice (2wd pickup). Don't spin and dig holes before applying or you won't be able to stretch the chain around the sunken in tire. I needed to jack it up once to get the chains on then they worked like a charm. I have not used in snow or on road.
Excellent chains. Used them extensively this last November getting up and down a snowed over road and snow/iced over rocky trail up the mountain in CO. They didn’t break on the rocks and got great traction on ice, got me out of several miles of 3ft of snow with ice underneath. I highly recommend the steel spring chain tensions. When properly installed you can get these chains nice and tight. I can only run chains on my rear tires due to upper control arm clearance issues (‘08 Tacoma) so I’m giving my second pair to my brother (‘12 f150) for his rear tires.

Chains are still going strong, I make sure the wash and dry them after each season. Would definitely buy again and I definitely recommend the metal spring tensioners.
Never owned tire chain so I'm not an expert but they are easy to install. Note I did this in my dry driveway. I hope I never need to uses them but if I do I think they will work fine. Thanks etrailer for the awesome service you provided.
Chains worked great on my 2014 1500 chevy. Used on a late season elk hunt. Easy to take on and off by myself. Had a bunch of refreeze on top of deep snow, and these kept my tires on the trail and not sliding off the mountain.
We just finished two years of full-time travel around the US. I bought two sets of chains and they fit snuggly, as expected, on my LT 275/65 R18 tires. I also bought two types of chain binders to keep them tight and positioned correctly in different conditions. So, that's 4 chain & spring binders AND 4 rubber binders ... just in case. I mounted them all to test the fit and practice my skills and drove 4 mi. on a dirt road. All went well. As we zig zag around the US it's a smart move to carry these chains and binders with us. Many states in the west have highways and roads that mandate use of chains. I'm glad I didn't need to use them last year but I'm confident we're ready if need be. Thanks to etrailer for great documentation and Fabulous customer service!
Have not open the box yet will try them with in the week
I bought these because they claim to be durable enough to be used off-road. The first time I used them off-road (albeit a very difficult trail), they broke and proceeded to rip my emergency brake line off of my rear driver side before I had noticed they broke. Not exactly the best experience I've had with chains.
Got them for a hunt in colorado in November 2023
Easy to put on and good fit for tires
Very quick delivery. Photo of package at door.
Had previously ordered tire chains and the y worked great.
Great service and response.

The chains fit just right. The customer service at Etrailer was top notch a 10 They walked me right through the process Thanks Again
Great customer service. I was able to get the tire chains I needed, they arrived on time and they fit perfectly on my tires. Great experience here...
These chains are well built. My 1 ton truck was in 6” deep snow when I chained up. The truck was able to tractor right up A steep hill. The binder is stout steel, not a stamped piece prone to bending. I used rubber tensioners. The combo worked great. All of my use has been off pavement this far. I bought two sets and would do it again.
I’ve had this type before and was pleased with the application and longevity. Etrailer is very easy to do business with, great product offering, quick shipping!
Great snow chains, really good price and fast shipping!!! Couldn’t ask for anything more.
Good customer service Paula was very helpful of answering my questions. It only took six days to deliver to Alaska. package was delivered to my front door. thank you
Great product works as described. Keeps us going in the snow back country roads Utah.
Shipping is slower than expected other than that great customer service and love the chains
Great product, super fast shipping, great service. Did not disappoint.
We haven’t had the opportunity to use the chains, I’m not able to rate them. I do believe that I am going to be satisfied with them, if and when I need them.
Fits perfect on my 2023 Ford F150.
Received the snow chains exactly what I wanted. Thank you James for sending me the right ones.

Well that is odd. These chains show a confirmed fit for all models of the Toyota Tundra with the tire sizes 26570-16. I have sent your information over to our customer service department for them to look into this for you.
