Installation
1. Spread the chain around the back of the tire.
2. Connect the yellow and blue cable at the back of the tire.
3. Push the cable into place behind the tire and center the cross chains on the tire's tread. Then, on the front side of the tire, join the 2 ends of the yellow side chain using the green hook.
4. Feed the silver draw chain with the rubber tensioner through the red channel at the bottom and pull it tight. Then run the tensioner through the red rings. (Note: Depending on your tire size, you might not be able to thread through both rings.) Pull the tensioner across the tire and fasten it to the yellow chain on the opposite side.
5. Pull your vehicle forward and retighten the chain.

These square-link, diamond-pattern tire chains provide excellent traction in snow and ice for vehicles with limited wheel well clearance. Made of a durable and corrosion-resistant manganese nickel alloy with built-in tensioners to ease installation.These are the first chains I have bought for a car. Bought them in preparation for a trip to Canada this winter and to have just in case this winter around Kansas City. I was worried about how difficult chains would be to install on a Dodge Dart but these were super easy to install, 5 min per tire my first time putting them on. They fit tightly and I can’t wait to try them out in the snow. Customer service was also great with my order. They were delivered several days before they were suposed to and sent me a personal email letting me know they were shipped out early. This was a great touch considering most online orders involve no personal contact from the business. I Will definitely purchase from etrailer again because of the service.
Tyler - 11/12/2018This is my first time to deal with snow chains and these were super easy to install! It took me about 20 seconds each. I feel rieady for snow! Highly recommeded.
Bought these chains for my Saab 9-5, fit is perfect for my 205-55-16 week/tire size. First time putting them on took me a minute to figure out but is quite easy overall. I live in Vermont with a crappy steep driveway. Generally speaking we only run awd or 4wd cars but this year I ended up having to use my summer beater Saab for the winter. It has good snow tires but the lack of awd made leaving the driveway a struggle. I have the sort of job where I just simply have to get there no matter what. The chains let me claw out onto the road in very snowy, icy conditions where otherwise there wouldn't be a chance in hell this front weel drive car would make it on it's own. Haven't really used them very much so we'll see how they hold up.
Chris - 12/19/2018Like previous orders from etrailer, received the tire chains I'd ordered rapidly and in great shape. Having been caught in an unexpected snow storm while towing my travel trailer, I decided to buy a set of chains for use just in case we get caught in the snow again. I bought these for one pair of tires on my travel trailer with tire size ST205/75R14. I've installed them in a test fit and all went smoothly. They are really easy to install and get tight. I'm in California and I won't need them here for months, but I'm headed to Alaska where I may encounter snow or ice - they are intended only as a precaution. The product looks well made, fits great and they come in a decent carrying case. I'm very pleased with my purchase.
You guys are the best! You ship so fast and your customer service is exceptional. Great to see companies still put their customers first. Will definitely do business with you guys again.
Great product. Easy to install. Works great and was delivered quickly.
Fast shipping but was $15. I’d say worth it for the quality and ease of installation. Takes 2 mins.
I haven't had a chance to use these yet, but I'm extremely satisfied with the shipping and packaging. I ordered them on a Sunday and received the Tuesday. The have a nice carrying case and have step by step instructions in the bag. As much as I hate snow, I'm hoping to try them out at least once this winter. Thanks etrailer!
I'll give this product a good review based on my experience with etrailer. They were reasonably priced and arrived in a timely manner. Customer service is always great with updates about shipping and delivery. However, these are snow chains. I bought them more as a "just in case" item and have yet to use them. Should i use them this winter i will check back in with an updated review.
Well made good to have in case I need them. Easy installation.
etrailer.com provided me with excellent service. The part I ordered had to be delivered by a specific date. They discovered it was on back order and contacted me right away. Cathy was able to work with me on the phone and find a product that was better than the one I previously ordered. She got the ordered completed and delivered immediately. EXCELLENT SERVICE - THANK YOU!!
I needed chains for three vehicles. I've used these chains in the past and knew they were the ones I wanted. They are easy to put on and provide great traction. I ordered them from etrailer because etrailer had the best price, but I was very impressed with etrailer's service, particularly their proactive communication.
The tire chains for the trailer fit great, I haven't tested on the road in snow, but they fit perfectly. So far, they appear to be of good quality, and I'm sure they'll do the job in a bad situation and emergency. I will follow up again should the need arise in using them. Thank you!
They look sturdy, well packaged, instructions seem clear, have not had enogh snowfall to use them yet. Customer service from Etrailer is excellant
These chains are relatively easy to install and easier to remove . My second purchase for a different vehicle. Got me through some tough spots in new Hampshire
Excellent chains. Easy to put on and durable. Will def buy again if needed!
I received the snow chains quickly. I have not tried them on yet but they look easy to install. I am happy with the quality of the product. Definitely going to be easier to install than my old chains.
Was able to get car moving in upstate NY last year. My son drove up to an Ice Festival. Says the chains saved him from a tow. Scion xB
I'm from NE Ohio and we don't use chains here. Had to have them for vacation in California. Helped me stay out of 3 accidents in Yosemite!
Used these once to cross the Donner Pass. The chains did their job, good traction and safe journey. However, one link on one side of the car broke after about 10 miles and beat the underside of the fender the rest of the way (no way to stop and repair). Had to replace fender protector upon return form my trip.
Work perfectly, easy on and off
Came loose and broke. Won't replace with same.
Thank You !
Review from a similar Diamond Alloy in Tire Chains
These tire chains work very well on my 2019 Ford F-250. They were very easy to install and remove, provide excellent traction in snow or on ice, and come in a nice carrying case. In addition to the built-in tensioner, I also added a rubber loop-type tension to keep them tight. The only problem I encountered was during the 2021 winter storm in Texas. I think I was the only person in the Austin area with tire chains, and while I was in a grocery store someone stole both chains from my front tires (luckily, they left them on the rear tires). The first picture is when I first installed the chains (before the ice and then snow) - the second picture is after several days of driving in the snow and ice (and after the front chains were stolen).
Do you have a question about this Tire Chain?
