Get excellent traction in extreme conditions. Grooved links and ladder pattern provides traction for your vehicle in snow, ice, and mud. Reversible design allows for wear on either side for longer-lasting chains. Cams allow easy tensioning.


Features:

  • Provides excellent traction for your vehicle in snow, ice, and mud
    • Square links are grooved to dig in 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:

  • Fits: 15" - 19-1/2" tires (for exact sizes, see below)
  • Link thickness: 5.6 mm (0.22")
  • 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.


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 chain 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.


Attach optional tensioners

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

So far, these chains look like they will deliver. I wanted something better than a cable chain that only lasts one storm. In my local, we typically get freezing rain with temperatures in the 30's. These should be good on ice. Installation was fairly easy and the cam tensioners pulled the chains tight. I also ordered the chain tensioning bungie.



by:

Quality made chains are priceless! We run Pewag chains on our trucks and equipment and get great life and performance from the all square chains.

2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500

We’ll they got here pretty darn quick I won’t be using them till the end of the month but the service from your company to this point has been outstanding



by:

Superb quality workmanship and material s.



by:

Purchased for 2016 Sprinter 4WD 140. Very pleased. Works well here in Pacific NW snow and ice. Heavy chain, but installs easy enough. Will need designated storage space. Great service and delivery.



by:

Quinn was awesome with helping me figure out what Pewag chains that were right for my truck because I insisted on an American made product.
Thanks again Quinn!!!



by:

Pewag PWE2228SC chains are nothing fancy. Good old traditional design. Came in a canvas bag with no closure. Successfully mounted them on P165/70R17 tires. Have not tested them in real-life snowy conditions. After chains are on, should drive vehicle 1/4 to 1/2 tire revolution, then tighten chain hooks further. Adding additional tension cords almost a must. Picture shows chain loosening at 6 o'clock and 7 o'clock positions after driving only a few feet. Consider adding threaded chain link to tie down extra free links to prevent them from flopping around when driving. Flopping chains are know to cut brake and ABS lines and cause other damage to the vehicle, especially if chains are installed on front tires. Thule XG12 Pro may be a better choice for front tires, because nothing flops around on the medial side of chains.



by:

Chains worked as designed. We use them in our trips to our farms in Montana and Wyoming when roads are open of course. Truck and trailer do not slip or fish tail.



by:

Didn't include a cam wrench, or a recommendation to order the wrench separately. What came is what I ordered but not what I needed to use the product. So: average.



by:

Shipping was extremely fast , received my order in 2 days . Chains are high quality and should last a long time. Bought these for all 4 tires of my ‘01 Ford F-350 , tires are BFG All Terrains Lt285-75-R16. They fit perfectly, will probably be cutting 2 links off of the backside where the two ends hook together. The chains came.2 per sack with a cam tightening tool in each sack. I modified the tool to make it easier to use when your hands are frozen.



by:

Ordered the snow chains, they look to be of quality. Haven’t used them yet, but will in due time. They look to be a great product.



by:

Holding up real good so far. my only complaint is the chain tightening tool is pretty weak. I'm using the tool from a cheap set



by:

Pewag always has been the standard for chains that are designed to do the work when you have to get work done. The fit was as expected you just have to tie back the tails on the inside where they don’t hit the strut tower. A couple of zip ties works
Thanks Tim for the help



by:

The chains fit our Wrangler Rubicon well, and are really substantially built. I like the cam tensioners. I might add a rubber tension too just to keep everything tight when driving. Really appreciate the quick delivery!



by:

Customer service was beyond expectations. I received the incorrect chains and once I notified etrailer of the issue they immediately corrected it and I was on the road within a few days with new chains. Pewag quality remains and now my work truck and personal rig are outfitted the right way. Thanks!



by:

These Pewag chains are VERY heavy duty and seem to be well made and strong. The cam tighteners will make adjusting chains easier.
Service from etrailer was very helpful in getting the correct size for tires and vehicle, and the chains were shipped quickly.



by:

Easy to install and great traction in ice and deep snow. Would definitely buy again!



by:

2nd set of the Pewag tire chains I purchased here in the last four years. Loved the first set, still use them here in Wisconsin and Montana. Needed to purchase another set to fit some larger oversized tires. Amy helped me out deciding which chains would best fit my needs and I still can't believe how fast she turned the order around and had them at my house the day before I was leaving for Montana. Can't get better service than that.



by:

I did the research & I am VERY HAPPY with my decision to buy these snow chains. My tires are 35x12.5x18. The quality & looks are great. These chains will be last ones for my truck! Best Prices Here (etrailer.com)



by:

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



by:

Nice Chains---The chains we received were for a light truck. The tires we have are P215 70R15 and the chains do not fit. We need 2 more links to make them even come close to closing. We have the truck in the garage in ideal conditions--but if we were out on the road---this is impossible. Sent an e-mail to e-trailers and waiting for a response. Also, 2 of the side links have been put on backwards from the factory.

Awesome HD tire chains for on or off road use! 12" of snow and or compacted ice...



by:

I had never worked with this company and I needed tire chains for our tractor. I went online, ordered them and they were delivered before the estimated time of arrival. I will certainly use this company again.



by:

Pewag products are top of the line and not for the faint of heart. We run Pewag chains on our
Firedepartment loader and now on my new Bronco...



by:

Haven't used on the road yet, since luckily I didn't encounter snow/ice on my recent drive... but did try on. Their etrailer web site clearly specified what size of tires the chains fit and the details of the specific chain models, like type U. The Sprinter manual specified type U chains. Delivery was per their commitment. Fit is good and triple cam method seems that it will work well to keep the chains snug on the tires. The only thing that seems that could be improved, is the cams are tightened and loosened with a supplied L shaped tool. If this was a T shaped tool, this would allow better leverage to be applied to the cams. Thanks

  • Heavy Duty Tire Chains To Fit My LT235/85x16 Blizzak Snow Tires
    The Titan Chain Tire Chains # TC2221SHD are indeed heavy duty. The extra coating makes them extremely hard and should not break on you. Although these chains are designed for a vehicle and not for a skid steer. The way your skid will twist these chains when turning is going to be putting a lot more stress on the chains than what they were really designed to take. I have not tested these chains with a skid before so I cannot confirm that these will not snap under the intense load. It may...

  • What Does Clearance Refer To When Selecting Snow Tire Chains
    Clearance refers to the clearance from the top and sides of the tires to the fender wells on your vehicle. You want to make sure there is plenty of room between the tires and the suspension components and body of the truck. Usually there is plenty of clearance on trucks, but you will want to check your vehicle owners manual to see if tire chains are allowed to be used or recommended for your Chevrolet C/K Series Truck. If your truck is lowered or has modified suspension or wheels, clearance...

  • Availability of Cleated Snow Chains for a 2003 Toyota Tundra with 265/65-17 Tires
    At this time we do not have snow chains with cleats for the 265/65-17 tires that are on your vehicle. The most aggressive snow tire chains we have for the 265/65-17 tire size are the Pewag All Square Snow Tire Chains, item # PWE2221SC. These chains have cam tighteners to easily tighten the chains on your vehicle tires and keep them tight. The chains you selected, item # PWE2221S, do not have cam tighteners and are a bit harder to install but also work well. You should check your vehicle...

  • Difference Between Pewag Snow Tire Chains PWE2221SC and PWE2221S
    The part # PWE2221SC comes with cam tensioners to help get the correct tension in the tire chains whereas the # PWE2221S does not come with the cam tensioners. The product pictures for both chains makes this confusing since they both show cam tensioners (the half circle metal piece with a slot you see between the sections of chain that run over the tread of the tire) but only the # PWE2221SC actually comes with them.

  • Should Tire Chains go On Rear Axle of 4WD Vehicle
    With snow chains you want to install them on the primary drive axle of the vehicle. For a 4WD Chevy Tahoe you would want to install them on the rear axle. You should also check the owners manual of your vehicle as well to determine if there are any tire chains restrictions as well.

  • Are the pewag All Square Snow Tire Chains # PWE2221SC Made in the U.S.A.?
    When considering the country of origin of pewag chains like the # PWE2221SC, it truly depends on which chain model. I am happy to report, though, that the # PWE2221SC are made here in the U.S.A. They are confirmed to fit your 1999 Dodge Ram Pickup with size 245/75-16 tires. As with all tire chains, I recommend consulting with your vehicle's owner's manual to make sure you are abiding by all of the manufacturer's guidelines.

  • Will a Diesel Truck Wear Out Pewag Tire Chains Faster
    Provided you are not out there spinning the tires while the chains are on you will not have a problem with the Pewag chains wearing out! Not only are the chains corrosion-resistant nickel manganese alloy steel chains but they are also reversible. So if you do ever wear out the one side, just flip them over and its like a whole new set of chains. The Pewag square-link chains are among the best that you can get. I haven't heard of anyone wearing them out yet. I have included a link to our...
