Glacier Tire Chains - PWH2228SC

  • Tire Chains
  • On Road Only
  • Deep Snow
  • Mud
  • Assisted
  • Glacier
  • Steel Twist Link
  • Drive On and Connect
  • Not Class S Compatible
  • No Rim Protection

These standard, twist link chains are great for driving in deep snow. The cam-style side chains ensure quick adjustment and a snug fit. Their low-carbon steel construction makes them durable.


Features:

  • Provides traction for your vehicle in deep snow
    • Ladder pattern provides good traction as you drive forward
    • Twist links are ideal for deep snow, but provide some traction on ice too
  • Installs easily with integrated, heavy-duty lever
    • Side cams provide effortless tightening - twist cams to pull chain taut around tire
    • Rubber adjusters (sold separately) are recommended for a tight fit
  • Constructed of case hardened, low-carbon steel
  • Works with either front- or rear-wheel-drive vehicles


Specs:

  • Fits: 15" - 20" tires (for exact sizes, see below)
  • Quantity: 2 chains
  • 90-Day warranty


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 extra traction in deep snow. But if you're more likely to see seriously icy conditions, you may want a chain with square or V-bar links that can really bite into the ice for more traction.


Confirming Your Fit

If you know your tire size, you may think you won't need to test fit your new snow 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 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 tire chains is easy.


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.


Cross chain connections should have the prongs facing away from the 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 chains on the back and front of 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, then clamp the lever to fasten extra chain links and keep them from flapping as you drive.


Use tool to tighten cams on the sidewall chains

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.



Rubber adjusters ensure a tight fit

5. Drive forward 2-3 vehicle lengths and recheck the chains tension. Tighten any loose cams.


If needed, rubber adjusters (sold separately) can be used to get a tight fit. 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 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

  • Snow Chain Recommendations for a 2012 F150 4x4 with 275/65R18
    Yes, as long as you have 275/65R18 tires on the front wheels as well as the back the Glacier Tire Chains # PWH2228SC would fit your front tires as well. As long as there are no restrictions on tire chains for your vehicle listed in the owners manual you could use the # PWH2228SC on the front tires as well. For a better set that would be easier to install and would provide you with better turning capabilities due to the chain design I would recommend the Titan Chain Tire Chains # TC2327....

  • Easiest Tire Chains to Install on a 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander with 255/55R20 Size Tires
    The easiest set of tire chains to install on the 255/55R20 tires on your 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander are the Konig K-Summit Tire Chains # TH02230K77. The initial setup takes a bit of time but once you have all the pieces in place and set for next time, the installation isn't too bad. I actually had the opportunity to shoot a video of this installation on an Audi that I've linked for you to check out. If this is only for emergency use then you might consider something a little more cost-effective...

  • Are Tire Chain Adjusters Recommended With The Glacier Snow Tire Chains With Cam Tighteners?
    While the Glacier Twist Link Snow Tire Chains with Cam Tighteners # PWH2228SC will not require you to use bungees to secure the chains in place I do still recommend using a set of Glacier Multi-Arm Rubber Adjusters # PW105. These will ensure that the chains stay tight between adjustments with the cams. That will reduce the chances of the chains coming loose and causing any damage to your fenders.

  • Recommendation for a Bag to Store Tire Chains PWH2228SC
    Good news, I was able check our warehouse to see if your chains will come in a bag or not. I found that the Glacier Chains # PWH2228SC will arrive to you in a sewn up fabric bag that is not intended for storing them. I would recommend getting the # PW2 utility tote bag which is rated for 40lbs. and is 10 inches long by 10 inches wide by 6 inches tall. The # PWH2228SC chains weigh about 28 lbs., so this bag will work perfect for them.

  • Tire Chains for 2017 Toyota 4Runner SR5
    Hi Sharon; with tire chains like the # PWH2228SC you always want to follow what your owner's manual says. From what I have found it states "Install tire chains on the rear tires only. Do not install tire chains on the front tires." I have a feeling our video didn't take that into consideration and only installed them to show the process. Regarding any excess chain links, you can remove them so you don't have to worry about them hanging down. These fit a wide variety of tire sizes so there...

  • Does Tire Air Pressure have to be Reduced when Using Tire Chains
    No, you will not have to change the air pressure in the tires when using tire chains such as # PWH2228SC. If your vehicle has a tire pressure monitoring system the use of chains could affect that system (give false readings) but you will not have to change the pressure and pressure monitoring systems will function like normal again when chains are removed.

  • Is There a Difference Between Titan Chain Snow Tire Chains TC1555 & TC2319
    These are the exact same tire but for the tire sizes they fit; the # TC2319 is for larger tires, and normally for a 2016 Honda Odyssey, for their standard size 235/65-17 tires, you would use the Titan Chain # TC1555. But just to be thorough, here are the tire sizes both chains fit.

  • Recommended Tire Chains for 1999 Ford F250 Super Duty
    If you are purchasing the chains for emergency use only, and they will sit in your tool box more often than not, an inexpensive set of chains like the Glacier Chains # PWH2228SC would be a good choice. The chains are constructed of low-carbon steel and offer a 90 day warranty. If you consistently find yourself in situations where chains are needed, you would want something more durable like the Pewag # PWE2228S. These chains are constructed of corrosion-resistant nickel manganese alloy...

    For your tire size of 245/60R20 the Konig chains you mentioned are not a fit so we do not recommend them. Instead we have the Glacier set part # PWH2228SC which do fit. These are twist link chains that will give you great traction but will be a bit smoother than square link chains. You'll need to check your owner's manual to determine if there are any tire chain restrictions on your vehicle. If Class S compatible chains are required you'd need a set of cables like the Titan part # TC741DC.

  • Recommended Snow Chains for 285/65R17 and 285/75R17 Tires
    It sounds like you are wondering if the same set of snow chains can be used on both a 285/65R17 size tire and a 285/75R17 size tires. Looking at the chains we have available it appears that the difference in size between these two tires is a bit too large to allow for the same set of chains to fit well on both. Just for reference the 285/75R17 tire is more than 2 inches larger in diameter/height than the 285/65R17 tire. For the 285/65R17 tires I recommend the Glacier Twist-Link Snow...

  • Tire Chains for a 2012 Ram 1500 with 265/70-17 Tires
    You would want chains on the main drive wheels. On your 2012 Ram 1500 that would be the rear wheels. If you put chains on the front as well it will help with braking and turning as long as there is snow or ice on the ground. If you do not anticipate needing to use the chains often then a simple set of twist link chains, # PWH2228SC, would work well. But for chains that will basically last forever and offer the best traction, go with reversible square link chains, # PWE2228SC. Please...

I checked your online manual and found that your tire size of LT265/60R20E is compatible with snow chains. So you have a few options. If you will be in deep snow you'd want a square link chain like part # PWE2228SC, if there will be ice you'll want V-bars to break up the ice like part # PWH2828SC.

    Your 1999 Ford F-350 tire information (285/75-16) is all you need to track down as the Tire Load Range isn't a determining factor. Most but not all of the 285/75R16 size tires are 10 ply, load range E tires. We often see S-rated chains for aftermarket, significantly larger tires on trucks and SUVs but Load Range E tires won't require special chains.

    The Pewag Chains # PWE2228SC and # PWH2228SC have many similarities, but the main differences between the two is that the # PWH2228SC is made of corrosion resistant nickel manganese alloy steel that resists corrosion very well and uses thick square links that provide excellent grip and longer wear.

  • Is a 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 Considered a Light Truck for Tire Chains
    A light duty truck is going to be your standard 1/2 ton, 3/4 ton, and 1 ton trucks. Medium duty would be like the 550s which are typically commercial applications. Since you have a 2500, 3/4 ton then it is a light duty. So you can use chains # PWH2228SC provided that your tires size is listed on the bottom of the product page for the chains and as long as they meet the chain requirements specified in your truck owners manual.
