Get a smoother ride, better traction, and more stopping power during turns than you'd get with traditional, ladder-pattern cables. These low-profile, lightweight cables are great for driving in light snow. Tensioners are included for a tight fit.

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.
If you've driven in bad winter weather, then there's no doubt you've experienced the unsettling feeling of your vehicle sliding during turns or bends in the road. Conquer turns and winding country roads with these cable chains from Titan Chain. The diagonal pattern provides better traction during turns than traditional ladder patterns, and because there is always a cable in contact with the ground, it will increase your stopping power too. You won't have to worry about finding the right tensioners either - tensioners designed specifically for these cables are included, ensuring a tight fit.
If you need a little extra traction in the snow, these cables are great. 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.
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:
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. Even low-profile 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. Slide the chain behind the tire and connect the ends of the rear cable.
3. Around front, slide the cable at the top of your tire through the corresponding eye hook. Repeat at the bottom of the tire.
4. Pull the cable as tight as you can, then clip the included rubber adjuster onto the cable in a star pattern. Make sure the hooks on the adjuster face away from your tire so your wheels don't get scratched.

And the thing fit perfectly on my 2019 F150 with 245/70r17 tires. Even look pretty good too! I especially like that the cables can be put on as the truck sets - no need to lay them out and back over them. And the carrying bag is nice - keeps everything together and able to be stored under a seat, in the bed, or wherever. I thought about getting chains with v-bars … but didn't think I needed anything that aggressive - so the tire cables ought to do just fine in deeper snow, packed snow and maybe even on ice.
Fit our new Honda Pilot perfectly!

All is great with the products I bought.
Received chains much earlier than I expected. etrailer is great to work with. Got notice when they shipped and confirmation when I received them. Watched their installation video and was able to install my chains easily. They fit perfectly and looking forward to hitting the mountain snow!
Very fast delivery. Great product.
Fit was perfect. Worked great and above my expectations. Installation was a breeze which was ideal especially when trying to install in snowy conditions. Highly recommend this item.
Chains easily installed, and stored in zippered bag. As our shipping address must have been used previously by our son’s Boy Scout troop, the chain’s box arrived to great confusion as no ex-Scouts knew what as ordered by “the old man”. Got it though, thanks.

I will have our customer service team reach out to you.
The product worked great, but after about 10 miles on a heavy snow packed road, one of the chain’s broke. Overall, very happy with the product but I bought four chains and only have three that are functional currently. The others held up well.
I bought chains - they fit and seem like just the right size. The carry bag is good and they even had tighteners inside! I would give it a five star but I haven't actually used the cable chains yet so I don't know if I will have any issues - so far so good!
Great info on product. Fits perfect
Nice carrying case with instructions with pictures.
Solid chains and exactly as presented on website. Looking forward to trying out in the Rocky Mountains next week (ski trip).
I just received these cable chains and of course have not had a chance to use them (actually hope I never need to use them). But, they appear to be top quality.
Have used them yet but got a good feeli ng
Thank you very much. Great product.
A+
To be clear, I have not used the tire chains in snow yet. But etrailer's info they provided, clear communication, and speedy delivery were fantastic. I put the tire chains on using their helpful video and had zero problems despite this being my first time ever.
I have not had to use the tire cables as the vehicle I bought them for is 4x4. I’m sure they will work just fine if needed

The only thing better than the snow chains was the the ease of ordering. An excellent company! They have gotten me home safe in the worst storms!
I haven't tried them in the snow yet, and hope I never have to, but they're super-easy to install in my driveway. The communication with and service from etrailer was beyond great.

Great accessory for winter driving! I had to use the cables while hunting in the western mountains of Maine in mid November- and they gave my F150 2WD the traction it needed to navigate some logging roads caked with snow and ice. Highly recommend them for on-road vehicles. And, was able to install them without moving the truck!
