Features to know about
Climbing Steep Snowy Roads with Confidence: Twist Links Bite into Deep Snow
When the driveway or mountain pass is buried, these Glacier tire chains dig in to keep you moving forward. The twist-link design gives solid traction in deep snow and even helps out on icy patches. The ladder pattern lays down a steady grip with each rotation so you can climb or descend slick grades with more control and less wheel spin.
Get a Snug, Secure Fit Fast: Built-In Cam Tighteners Simplify Tensioning
No need to wrestle with loose chains or extra tools. The integrated cam-style side chains let you twist each cam to pull the chain tight around the tire. This assisted-tensioning system makes it quick to get the right tension so the chains stay centered and snug while you drive.
Durability You Can Count On: Case-Hardened Low-Carbon Steel Links
These chains aren’t just built for traction—they’re built to last. Each link is made from case-hardened, low-carbon steel that resists wear and stands up to cold-weather stress. The tough outer layer protects against abrasion and corrosion so you can rely on them season after season.
Ready for Real Winter Conditions: Designed for Deep Snow and Mud
Made for on-road winter driving, these chains shine when the pavement disappears under heavy snow or slush. The sturdy ladder pattern clears packed snow as you roll, keeping traction consistent across different surfaces. Perfect for rural, mountainous, or plowing use where dependable grip is a must.
Sized Right for a Range of Tires: Fits 14"–18"
Each pair comes sized to fit tires from 14" to 18", giving you solid flexibility across different setups. Whether you keep them for emergencies or regular winter use, they’re ready to go when the weather turns rough. Rubber adjusters (sold separately) can be added for an even tighter fit.

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.

Video Transcript for Installation Guide for the Glacier Tire Chains w/ Cam Tighteners on a 2017 Lexus RX 350
Speaker 1: Today on our 2017 Lexus RX 350 we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Glacier Twist-Link Snow Tire Chains, part number PWH2229SC. Keep in mind, we are going to be installing these on tire size 235/55-R20. It's going to have an H pattern twist-link design. It's going to give you great starts and stops in snow and ice. It's going to be constructed of a low carbon steel, and these are designed for highway use. However, they are not intended for off-road applications.One thing I like about these chains, it's going to have Cams to help maximize the tension while the chain's on the tire.
It also has an included tool to help us take out that slack, and these come in a quantity of two. IF you'd like to purchase an extra set, just use the same part number. If your vehicle is an all wheel drive vehicle, it is recommended that you put chains on all four tires. However, if you're only going to use two, it is recommended that you put them on the front tires.Now, it's a good idea not to exceed the maximum speed of 30 miles per hour while these chains are installed. First thing you want to do is you're going to lay out your chains and make sure you don't have any kinks or knots.
Next, you want to make sure your cams are facing out, and if you notice at the end of our cross link, you're going to have a hook-style connection point. You want to make sure that this open end is facing up, so when it's installed, it's not touching the tire.Next, we're going to drape our chain over our tire. We're going to grab it from this side. Over like this. Next, we'll move around to the back of the tire.
Connect the links. You just wanna make sure you get them as snug as possible. Now we'll take our hook, we'll hook it in, I'd say, probably this center one, third one in. We're good. Then we'll move back to the front of the tire.
We're gonna try to match the link that we did in the back, give or take one. Now we can flip our lever over and hook our extra link on.Now we'll take our included tool and we're gonna start by turning our cams. Keep in mind you don't have to use all of them. Start with one till it gets tight. We're good. Now you're gonna repeat that same process on the other side of the vehicle. Then you wanna get in your vehicle, drive it forward a couple feet, check the tension, and make any adjustments necessary. Now it's not required, but it is recommended to use a rubber tensioner to maximize the tension on the chain while it's installed. You can pick one of these up using part number PW105. You'll notice the hooks. You want to make sure the hooks are facing out away from the tire. We're just gonna go around and hook them on. Then again, you're gonna wanna repeat that same thing on the other side of the vehicle.That'll do it for a look at and installation of the Glacier Twist-Link Snow Tire Chains, part number PWH2229SC on our 2017 Lexus RX 350.

The order was handled very fast, and I got the snow chains in no time.
Those are chains for big vehicle, they are heavy and sturdy.
Comparing to diamond pattern chains that I had perilously, the new chains almost impossible to tangle. It takes just 30 seconds to lay them correctly on the ground.
In my garage I put them as instructed in the video on etrailer web page. But in real life scenario, on highway shoulder, I would probably lay them down on the ground, drive 2-3 feet forward and try to close the chains on top of the wheel (versus crawling on the ground and trying to reach behind the wheel).
The tension system is simple and intuitive. Comparing again to diamond pattern chains, this tension system is much more robust.
The only downside of those chains, they miss caring bag. The bag they where shipped in, has no zipper, and cannot be closed once open.

Great chains! Get them on as tight as possible with all the cams facing out, drive a short way and then tighten the cams where needed. Very easy install and the grip is excellent - got us safely through the snowstorm that just hit Tahoe.

Etrailer's online ordering website failed to accept my snow chain order, but my phone order was handled very efficiently, and I got useful advice while on the phone. I probably won't use the snow chains for a while, hopefully never, but they look fine. Delivery was fast and price good.

Had to pull the chains out for the first time last month when my 1991 F-250 got held up on a very slick and steep ice covered road. They fit over my LT215/85R-16 Firestone Winterforce LT E tires very nicely and on the first try with no problems. I have only used chains on smaller cars before this but these installed very easily with the caming links and included tool for tightning. These chains seem to have a good range of adjustment and were also easy to remove. They seem sturdy and well made and of course traction was very solid once they were installed. Highly recommended.

Great. I put the chains wet in plastic bags for a year and they hardly rusted at all. Installed them on my larger 23585R-16 tires and they do fit that size too.

Although I haven't used them in ice or snow yet, the snow chains appear to be of great quality and are very easy to install. The cam tighteners work nicely and hold the chain on the tire with no slack. Etrailer.com was great to work with. Ordering was easy. They kept me updated via email during the shipping process. They upgraded my free shipping and I received my order in 2 business days instead of 7 as projected originally. I can tell that they care about their customers.

I got them after the big snowice storm we had here last year. I only had the opportunity to use them one time since getting them and really just went out then to try them out in some slush. I like them and enjoy the fact that they are in the truck at all times. It doesnt snow/ice much here, but Im ready if it does. Its bad to be like this, but I hope it snows this year just so I can use my chains? Ha!I have told others about your company and encouraged them to get chains from you.

Excellent chains on 2005 GMC Sierra. Cam Locks are good but you really need to use a tire bungee or equivalent to pull the chains tighter. I use wire ties for the extra length of chain on the inside and outside firewall. Turns the truck into a total snow beast, I have yet to get stuck and have never used the winch I bought for that purpose.

Sold the GMC, bought a 2011 Tundra 4.6L DoubleCab. These chains fit a little better on that vehicle. This time the chains are on an all season radial, not snow tires. Makes the truck invincible as a plow machine. I install them on a level garage floor and make very sure they are on super tight.

- Tire Chains For 2025 Honda Pilot With 225/50R20 TiresHello Steve. Since you do not have the regular stock sized tires on the 2025 Honda Pilot they can be a little more difficult on finding the right fit. Since your tire size is 225/50R20 you are going to want the Glacier Tire Chains w/ Cam Tighteners - Ladder Pattern - Twist Links - Assisted Tensioning - 1 Pair # PWH2229SC. To give them a more secure fit, I recommend grabbing a set of Titan Chain Multi-Arm Rubber Tire Chain Adjuster for Light Trucks - 1 Pair # TCMA2. Since you mentioned...

The # PWE2229SC is the Pewag version is made from a stronger steel and is reversible which means that it's going to last considerably long whereas the Glacier # PWH2229SC will fit and function the same but won't last nearly as long.

The Glacier Twist Link Snow Tire Chains with Cam Tighteners part # PWH2229SC will fit your 245/55-19 tires but have a side chain thickness of 5.9 mm and a cross chain thickness of 5.5 mm therefore, I cannot recommend you use these tire chains.

Probably the safest bet in terms of keeping your chrome rims pristine is to use something like the Glacier V-Bar Snow Tire Chains with Cam Tighteners, # PWH2229SC. With the...

Never had to use yhem but we have them if we need them. They are fairly easy to install so i am very appreciative of that. We thought they are well worth the price we paid. Our children live in illinois so we are sure we will need them sooner or later.
