Note: To determine whether you can use snow chains on your vehicle, or if chains might affect your ABS/ESP functionality, consult your owner's manual.
These chains are great for giving you a little extra traction in the snow. But if you live somewhere where you experience heavy snow often, you'll definitely want something more heavy duty than cables. Because these cable chains are lightweight and don't take up a lot of storage space, they are also perfect for keeping in your trunk if you occasionally travel through areas that require you to have chains on hand.
Class S Designation
SAE Class S tire chains are designed for use on passenger vehicles with restricted wheel-well clearance. Most newer cars, vans, and small trucks - especially those with large aftermarket tires - will require Class S chains. If you're unsure about the class of your vehicle, consult your vehicle's user manual.
These chains will fit your tires provided there is both:
- A - a minimum of 1.46" (37 mm) between the top of the tire tread and the wheel well
- B - at least 0.59" (15 mm) between the tire's sidewall and the vehicle
Confirming Your Fit
If you know your tire size, you may think you won't need to test fit your new cable 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 cables 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. Even these low-profile cables 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 Cable Chains
Installing cable chains is easy.
1. Lay out the chains on the ground to make sure there are no twists or kinks in the cables.
2. Where each cross cable attaches, you'll notice there is a smooth side and one with an edge. Make sure the smooth side faces in to sit against your tire's sidewall as you drape the cables over your tire.
3. On the front of the tire, feed the cable through the connection loop until it's tight, then use the lever to keep the extra cable from flapping as you drive. Repeat this on the backside of the tire.
Rubber adjusters (sold separately) are recommended to help ensure a tight fit. Connect these to the front side of the cable in a star pattern. Make sure the hooks 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 cables 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.
185/60-15
- (185) - indicates tire width in millimeters
- (60) - gives you the aspect ratio (sidewall height as percentage of width)
- (15) - denotes the diameter of the wheel rim in inches

This product had good review so I purchased, however I do not recommend using for SUV or regular sedan. I put them on my 2015 Honda Pilot at Sequoia National Park and there were not enough traction. My tire spun but we were only going side to side. It fit perfect and looked really good, it was easy installation.
I had to go down to town and purchased a different type of chain. The thick linked chain type and it worked great. As I was driving into the Sequoia Park, there were at least 5 vehicles stranded either chain broken, or not enough traction and spun side to side. They all were using the similar type of chains as these.

Used the cables last winter, it was particularly snowy so had to drive about an hour with the cables on, which is unique for California. The only issue I had was the locking mechanism kept coming loose which loosened the cable and caused some thumping. It's a little complex getting the orientation right, but never had a traction problem. These were used on a Ford Explorer and were pretty easy to get on and off.

Thanks for the follow up William. I did want to let you know that a set of adjusters something like the # PW105 might help with the fit issues you are noticing.

Hi, Nice quality of tire chain which fits different sizes and nicely fits my Hyundai Santa Fe SE tream 18 inch tires. Installation is easy with available tension system which allows you to make a tension of chain without any extra tools. Nice looking and does not touch the rims. Highly recommended.

First time i deal with a vendor that is so efficient. Called their helpline to get info on the right size of rubber adjustors i needed for the PW2029C snow chain tires. Mark M. answered my question and gladly asked me if he could finish my order that i had started online. I think when you call a place like this and they offer such great service, you will still order their product even if they charge taxes and delivery for out of state orders. Thank you Mark M. for great service and my order arrived as promised, ready for the snow this weekend.

Hello there, have only test fitted the chains. Did not use them since roads were cleared. I would recommend the larger rubber adjustors.

I am writing this after recieving a 1 year follow up email from etrailer. I purchased tire chains "just in case" for a trip to the mountains last year and have not yet had to use them. They are a quality product that I have kept for that purpose. I have ordered from trailer in the past and would do so in the future. Great customer service!

I bought these tires for a Christmas trip and drove a long 18 hours to visit family. I was very pleased with the service from staff at Etrailer as they understood my concern to have it shipped to me in time to make my trip. I tested the chains out for my lexus rx350 and the chains fit perfectly. I did not end up going through any snowing days so I did not have to use them thankfully, but I will keep them for any future trips and I am glad they fit my tires because my greatest concern was the fit as there were so many options online and trailer was one of the few that allowed me to find the right chains by choosing the type of car i have.

2007 Honda Pilot
Chains arrived very quickly, faster than predicted and anticipated. Great communication from eTrailer, and lots of info on website
The chains do fit onto the front tires of my 2007 Honda Pilot EX, but I had to make an alteration to keep the interior hook from hitting the strut tube, which is very close to the tire. I flattened the "F" shape hook down to a much flatter profile, which seems to work, although it is still very close to the tube upon rotation.
I think these are a good product, but you might consider looking into the 'V' profile version as another option, if the clearances of the interior latch might be better.
Overall, fantastic company, great customer service, would highly recommend them. I will post pictures or updates as I use the chains more often.

I purchased the cables for a family trip to Telluride, CO. I am glad i did as the day before NW Texas, Colorado, and New Mexico we’re hammered with a massive winter storm. The cables were exactly what we needed to get us safely to our destination. The cables have held up flawlessly and have worked perfectly on our winter time family trips since then! I was pleasantly surprised on how well our 2wd 2017 Toyota Highlander performed with the snow cables on, and how well I was able to maintain traction and control. We took some of the sketchiest yet most beautiful roads on or way to Colorado! I led point with our caravan of 5 vehicles, and had the fewest issues with traction. I literally passed hundreds of vehicles, some more capable than our little 2wd rig. Thank you all for providing such a great product that helped keep my family safe!!!

The product looks good and is well packaged. I need to wait for a good winter storm before I need to use them on my new AWD Honda Pilot TrailSport. So, I don't really know yet how easy they will be to install and how well they will improve traction, but I am planning for success.

2013 Kia Sorento
While I cannot make a comparison with other models of chains, I bought the PW 2029C as an alternative to the PW1046 which has a keeper tab for the abutments while the PW 2029C has a tensioner which provides for easier tightening in snowy road conditions, in my view, and keeps the lead chains flat against the sidewall, which the single keeper tab on the 1046 does not necessarily; although I did not experience slippage with the 1046, I worried about it.. So while both work well in my limited use, I feel much more secure with the PW2029C and its ease of assembly onto the tires, and in tightening the chains. Purchasing the multi-arm rubber adjuster I would also recommend for difficult and prolonged conditions. Customer Service at etrailer were helpful and knowledgeable and should be contacted with any questions prior to purchase.

2015 Ford Transit T250
Overall the tire chains seem pretty decent, but the way they assemble to the tire seems a sketchy. I put them on the other day to test fit them and they are extremely loose at their tightest setting. Luckily about the extra tensioners for 12 bucks which seems to help a ton. I’ve yet to use them other than in the driveway, I’m definatly a bit secpitcal about them coming loose or falling off. The carrying bag for it ripped on my first attempt to open it. Trailer was great for a supplier, quick shipping and great customer service, not 100% sold on the product tho

Bought the Glacier cable chains and rubber adjusters for my '15 Pilot 4WD as a "just in case" part of my prep to drive up north to Idaho Falls but the trip didn't happen. Delivery was timely. Did a static fitting but did not roll on the cable chains. Looked good but hard to tell without rolling on them. So for now, they're in the bag nice and clean.
Thanks for the follow up.

1. Super fast shipping - earlier than estimated delivery date.
2. Excellent customer service - they follow up with every process: after order received, after product shipped, after product delivered, follow-up and feedback. The website also share plenty of information about product review and instructions.
3. Great product - with easy carrying bag and detailed instruction.
4. Great price - this is the cheapest price I found online.
Will definitely recommend etrailer.com. :)

Did a dry test on my snow tire. the chains fit well, the only negative is that it is very difficult to latch the cable tightener onto the cable. I modified the opening with my grinder and it works well now.
by: Doug I10/31/2016
Just what I needed. Easy to use, fast on, fast off, and priced right. My vehicle has low clearance between the wheels and fender wells, so these cable chains are the way to go. I'd recommend them.

- Recommended Class S Snow Chain or Tire Sock for 2019 Subaru Ascent with 245/60r18 TiresThis isn't an uncommon problem to have, and I have the perfect solution for you. Have a look at the ISSE Hybrid Snow Socks - Size 72 # TCH72, which are a Class S compatible and designed with vehicles that have limited wheel well clearance in mind. I prefer these to spring chains since they're easier to install than any type of chains, and they won't damage the vehicle if there is a break like a spring chain potentially could. These socks are DOT compliant in all 50 states, so you'll be...

Some tire chains are not Class S rated but are less than 10 mm. I recommend staying on the safe side and use Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains, part # PW2029C. These cables are a low profile so you get a smoother ride and they come with a tote for storage. I also recommend rubber adjusters like part # PW105 to hold the chains more securely...

Before purchasing or installing tire chains, be sure to read your owners manual and abide by any prohibitions or restrictions mentioned there. I have linked you to some informational...

However, in some places chains or cables are required by law. Since a vehicle manufacturer or dealer cannot tell you to break the law you would have to use a traction device of some kind. Cables such as # PW2028C which fit your 275/65-18 tires usually require the least clearance. For them I also recommend using rubber...

They are not the best option for more frequent use or areas that get a lot of snow and ice. A lot of factors will affect the life of any chains including road conditions and vehicle weight so an exact life span is not calculable. If at all possible make sure the cables are rinsed off with fresh water and dry before storing them. If you can tell me the tire size...

The chains also include the rubber adjusters to keep the cable chains...

A chain that extends too far to the inside of the tire could cause severe damage to the vehicle. I cannot recommend you do anything that would contradict BMW's advice regarding tire chain usage, that's a decision you'd need to make on your own. If you need to travel to areas where...

view full answer... - Will Running Snow Chains On The Front Wheels Of A 2012 Toyota Highlander Damage The Vehicle?Using only one set of chains on your 2012 Toyota Highlander will not hurt the engine. Typically just one set is used as you really only need chains on the drive wheels. If your Highlander is a front wheel drive model, this is where they should be used. However, if you have an all wheel drive model, we do recommend using the chains on the rear wheels. This is due to chains not lasting as long when they are on front wheels as turning will add some stress on them and wear them out quicker. With...

Phil, thanks so much for your review and your business. You would need to check your owners manual, but according to the manual I found online, cable chains are the only tire chains recommended for the 2015 Honda Pilot, therefore, use of any other chains would be at your discretion. The snow chains should be installed on the front wheels.
