Features to know about

Struggling for Grip in Deep Snow: Twist Links Bite in for Steady Traction

When the snow starts piling up, these Glacier tire chains keep you moving. The twist link design digs into deep snow for solid traction while still giving a smoother ride than more aggressive link styles. The ladder pattern helps keep your tires gripping straight ahead so you can climb steep grades and get through drifts without spinning out.

Glacier tire chains laid out flat on the ground to check for twists or kinks before installation.

Tighten Chains Without a Hassle: Built-In Cams Pull Everything Snug

Nothing’s worse than fighting loose chains in freezing weather. These come with side-mounted cam tighteners that make tensioning simple. Just insert the included tool and twist the cams until the chains pull snug around the tire. The assisted tensioning helps you get an even, secure fit without constant readjustment.

Built for Harsh Winter Work: Case-Hardened, Low-Carbon Steel Lasts

Winter roads can be rough on gear, but these chains hold up. Each link is made from case-hardened, low-carbon steel that resists wear and adds strength where it counts. The hardened outer layer protects against abrasion from ice and gravel, while the core steel keeps its flexibility under stress so the links don’t crack or snap when you’re driving in cold conditions.

Ready for Heavy Snow Runs or Emergency Use: Fits 15"–24" Tires

Whether you’re gearing up for a mountain trip or keeping a set handy for chain-law zones, this pair fits a wide range of tire sizes from 15" up to 24". They’re designed for on-road use and come in a standard ladder pattern that’s dependable when you need it most. For an even tighter grip, rubber adjusters are recommended and sold separately.

Note

  • 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.

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.

2017 Ram 2500 6.7 Cummins. These chains were easy to install and fit solidly. They do not have the cam system so you will need bungee cords. I set up 2 rubber bungees per tire and added a hook in the middle. Works perfect. They fit my 285/65/20s with room to spare. I have not used these in the field yet but I grew up using tires chains and these are no different.

The product that arrived to me did not match the description on the website and had to be returned twice. Despite that e trailer customer service is pretty awesome.

Ordered for custom size truck tires. The fit and quality seem pretty good, although we did order some tensioners from Amazon, and had to buy a small tool bag for carrying the chains.

Great service on my order for tire chains for my jeep, The website was easy to use to find chains that would fit the vehicle, and the selection was terrific. Etrailer sent emails on the status of my order, and managed to have the product ship before Christmas. Still waiting to use the chains - they are a gift for my son to deal with the winter at college in Durango CO.

They are the perfect fit and are pretty simple to install.

Dodge Ram Pickup
I'm giving this 3 stars because the product seems like decent quality and they arrived one day early...however, they did not fit my truck. I had to remove 2 rows of links to get them down to proper size. I went back and double checked my order before reviewing this because I have been known to do stupid things in the past. Not this time. My order shows these chains fit a Ram 1500 with my tire size...they don't. Good thing I'm handy and made them fit. Also they don't come with a cam tool (which it does not specify that they do) but a good sized screw driver will work.
by:
I am very impressed with the great quality of these tire chains. Shipping was very quick. I haven't had to use them yet, but when I do, I'm sure they will do the job!
by:
These chains are too long to fit the factory 275/60-20 tires on my 2020 Silverado unless you cut 8 inches of chain off. No problem if you own a set of bolt cutters. Secondly they do no safety clear the suspension on the front tires. I will be running them on the back only. Appear to be good quality.
by:
I own 3 sets, 2 for my Jeep, 1 for my truck. These are a good, well built, and not too fancy. They deliver traction on ice and won’t break the bank.

Delivery and product receipt was fantastic. Product was out to use within 12 hrs of arrival and performed admirably. I will definitely be shopping here in the future for truck, tire, and trailer needs.
by:
Easy to order, quick shipping and the product to great.
by:
I haven’t needed to use them, but I did do a test fit and they seem very well made. I really like the twist lock tightened as well.
by:
Easy to install, sized perfect, good price, fast delivery. The only downside was the instructions-there were no spaces in the text so it was really difficult to read (they're so easy to install that it wasn't much of an issue though)
by:
Chains were perfect. etrailer is the best. Will definitely purchase from them again.
by:
Loaned them to a friend...he used them one time...heavy corrosion very soon after use (forest service road with snow and ice i.e., there was no salt whatsoever).

That is very odd, I have not heard of anyone having corrosion issues with these before. Do you have some pictures of the corrosion?

Since my purchased I've used it only once. They held up just fine. I'd recommend them.

  • Best Tire Chains For 295/65-20 Tires
    Hello Ty, thanks for reaching out. We do have chains that will fit 295/65-20 tires, but the # TC2828CAM are not quite the right fit for those. Instead I recommend either of the following: - Konig Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - Square Link - Assisted Tensioning - 1 Pair # KON74FR - Glacier Tire Chains w/ Cam Tighteners - Ladder Pattern - Twist Links - Assisted Tensioning - 1 Pair # PWH2226SC The assisted tensioning chains are nice because they are very easy to install, and the diamond...

    For on-road use, I would recommend the Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - Square Link - 1 Pair # TC2536. These are a fairly low profile chain that are easy to install comparatively and require no additional tools or tighteners. If you are interested in chains for off-road as well as on-road use, you could use the Glacier Service snow tire chains # PWH2226SC. These chains feature twist-link cross chains for better traction.

    Hey Jake, sure can! Our best tire chains for the 295/65R20 tires on your 2025 Ford F-350 super duty are the following: - Konig Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - Square Link - Assisted Tensioning - 1 Pair # KON74FR These are diamond pattern drape-over chains. Meaning they provide great traction, and they will be exceedingly easy to install. This is especially nice for when you find yourself installing them on the side of the road when entering a "chains required" zone. Also, the Konig...

    Hey Michael, I attached a link on this page down below that has all of the tire chains we have that fit your tire size of 285/65-20 but my favorite set is the Konigs part # KON74FR as they are the easiest to install, provide the best traction, and will last a long time. If you were wanting to go with something priced more economically the Glacier chains part # PWH2226SC will also work. How deep of snow do you think you'll be in?

    For your 2021 Ford Expedition MAX's 285/45R22 size tires you'll need the Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains # TC2327. These chains are Class-S Compatible to fit your limited wheel well clearance but I recommend also double checking the measurements using the attached diagram below. Note: These chains have a max speed rating of 30mph and are intended for on-road use only.

    No, they do not but I have a comparable set that will. They are the Titan Chain Alloy Snow Chains w/ Cams for Wide Base Tires item # TC3231SCAM. These have square links that give excellent traction in the snow plus great grip on ice. The built in cam tighteners let you quickly adjust the fit for simple installation. You will want to check your owner's manual to see if your vehicle requires Class S compatible chains. If so you'll need the Konig Snow Tire Chains item # KON24FR. They are...

  • Recommended Snow Tire Chains For 2021 Ford F-150 With 275/60R20 Tires
    You will need to use a different set of tire chains, as Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains # TC2326 will not be a good fit for 275/60R20 tires. Hopefully you can resell your unused chains to cover the cost of new chains. While I'm sure this is not the news you were looking for, I'll go ahead and recommend a set of chains that will be safe to use on your 2021 Ford F-150 with 275/60R20 tires. If you plan to use your tire chains a few times a year in light snow, then I would stick with a...

  • Tire Chain Recommendation for Truck Tire Size 285/60R20 and 285/65R20
    The Glacier Twist Link tire chains part # PWH2226SC that you referenced fit both tire sizes you mentioned, 285/60R20 and 285/65R20. These are twist link chains so they will be a bit smoother when traveling than a square link chain. Be sure to check the owners manual of your vehicle for more info on tire chain restrictions as well.

  • Recommended Off-Road Rated Tire Chains for 295/70-18 Tires
    I do have some off-road suitable tire chains for 295/70-18 tires but the Glacier Twist Link Snow Tire Chains part # PWH2226SC are not rated for this. The reason for this has to do with the thickness of the chains. Instead, I recommend the Titan Chain Snow Tire Chains for Wide Base Tires part # TC3831 which are much beefier and rated for use both on and off-road.

  • Recommended Tire Cables and Chains for a 315/70R17 Tire
    We do have a set of tire cables that fit your 315/70R17 tires. They're the Titan Chain Cable Snow Tire Chains - Ladder Pattern - Steel Rollers, part # TC3031. The steel rollers provide a very smooth ride and they have a maximum speed rating of 30 mph. I've linked to a video review of these cables for you to look at. I recommend getting the cable tighteners mentioned in the video as tire cables can lose some of their efficacy if they're too loose. They are part # TCMA2. With regards to...

    We carry several different tire chains that will fit the tire size you said you have. Since you did not mention the type vehicle you have, you will want to consult with your dealership or your owners manual to see if there are any restrictions when using snow tire chains.

    The two chains you mentioned are solid choices but they aren't what I would recommend as a first choice for your application. The V-bar chains part # TC3835 are ideal for icy conditions as the v-bars break up the ice whereas the twist link part # PWH2226SC are more ideal for balancing ride quality and traction since the links are lower profile and more rounded. For deep snow the style that's best is the square link as it does the best at digging in and getting traction in the deep snow....

  • Off Road and On Road Tire Chains for my 35x12.5x17 Tires
    The Pewag All Square Snow Tire Chains for Wide-Base and Dual Tires part # PWE3231S will fit your 35x12.5x17 tires and are desaigned for use both on and off the road. It is recommended to use the Titan Chain Multi-Arm Rubber Tire Chain Adjuster for Heavy Trucks part # TCMA3 to help ensure your chains stay tight so you do not have any issues with them becoming loose and causing damage.

  • Availability of Tire Chains that are Class S Compatible for a 2009 Nissan Titan
    I checked into this with Pewag and yes, the # PWH2226SC tire chains would fit a P265/70-R18 tire, and are compatible with class S requirements. The class S clearance specs would include basically all passenger vehicles, so these chains would be appropriate as long as you do not have a commercial vehicle.
