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.
Class "S" Designation
SAE Class "S" tire chains are designed for use on vehicles with restricted wheel well clearance. Certain newer cars, vans and small trucks, especially those with large, aftermarket tires, may require Class "S" chains.
These chains will fit your tires provided there is both:
- A - a minimum of 1.46" (37 mm) between the top of the tire tread and the wheel well
- B - at least 0.59" (15 mm) between the tire's sidewall and the vehicle itself.
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, as shown below.
185/60-15
- (185) - indicates tire width in millimeters
- (60) - gives you the aspect ratio (sidewall height as percentage of width)
- (15) - denotes the diameter of the wheel rim in inches

These tire chains are very easy to install even without any experience. I practiced onetime putting them on and the directions were easy to follow.
I would give them a 5 star but haven’t needed to use them in the snow yet.

I always order snow chains from etrailer.com. It's easy to find what size you need and they always get delivered earlier than expected! Great company.

Snow chains arrived as described, faster than expected. Yet to use them but I'm happy with how they look.

Dodge Dart
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.
Comments
I’ve used them a couple times. Easy to install on the side of the road when needed! Still in great shape. I keep them in my vehicle in the winter.
Tyler - 11/12/2018by: Dante 12/09/2021
Excellent chains at an excellent price. After about two winters in my area, I have only used these chains on two occasions, and in both instances I was pleasantly surprised by their ease-of-use and grip.
I strongly recommend practicing putting them on a couple times before the first snow, because the first couple of tries are a bit of a challenge.
I also recommend hitting the chains with a spray lubricant after each exposure to salty roads to ward off any rust.

This 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.

The snow chains worked out fine last winter. Installation was straight forward. I also appreciate eTrailer following up with me on how my product experience has been.

This rating is based on the video I found on your webpage demonstrating the chains being put on an actual Kia Soul like mine Since I just received them yesterday and the ground is now bare, I can't attest to how well they will work while driving in snow and ice. However, it is my hope that they will be easy to put on as demonstrated in the video and will assist me in driving in the snow next time it snows here! :)

2004 Saab 9-5
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.
Comments
After a winter of use: saved me from being stuck in the drive way a number of times. Therefore pretty pleased overall. It’s a huge pain to put them on in the dark and snow but I can’t see how buying a different product would solve this. No substitute for awd or 4wd but they got me through with the beater I had.

Well after I try to put on the tire chains my opinion may change..off hand though I like what I see....that is why i bought them...the price was average, the delivery was fast, Time will tell, but I certainly have no negative opinions at this point. I may upgrade to excellent after I use them.
by: Ed A.04/29/2019
Like 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.

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.

2010 Dodge Journey
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.
by: Gilberto03/14/2019
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!
by: Dante01/03/2018
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.
by: Laura02/22/2019
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 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 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.

See what our Experts say about this Titan Chain Tire Chains
- Snow Tire Chains for a Chrysler PT CruiserI've linked our selection of chains to fit your 205/55 R16 sized tires. I recommend the Titan Chain, part # TC1540. I personally like the install on these compared to other chains. They're also good quality without breaking the bank. You should check your vehicle owners manual for snow chain recommendations. Some vehicles require Class S (15mm or Less) tire chains, and some vehicle do not recommend the use of tire chains because of lack of clearance when turning. I have posted a link...
view full answer... - Will the Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains Fit a 2002 Saturn L300The Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains part # TC1540 are an excellent option for a 2002 Saturn L300, one of my personal favorites. They are class s compatible which means they are designed for vehicle's with limited wheel well clearance. That said, we are not able to test all tire chains individually on x,y,z vehicle so the final clearance checks will be up to the end user. I will also say that nearly every manufacturer has some sort of blanket statement for tire chain use so I would not...

The Titan snow tire chains # TC1540 you referenced will work but offer no rim protection or quick release. If you are willing to spend a little more and enjoy the ease of use, I recommend the Konig snow tire chains # TH01221090 the chains automatically tighten and align as your drive. These chains will have solid grip on snow and ice and have anti-scratch nylon bumpers to protect your rims. As a side note, always...

The larger size tire 215/50-17 is 8-1/2-inches wide. A 235 size tire is 9-1/4-inches wide and this wide a tire could potentially cause interference issues with brake lines and other vehicle components within the wheel well. I reviewed an online version of the owner's manual for the car and it has no information about using larger tires than the two sizes noted above so I would not attempt to use...

Konig actually manufactured the chains for Thule and they have some options that are compatible with your tire size. If you like the self-tensioning feature of the Thule chains then I recommend the Konig part # TH00023095. These chains feature the same type of self-tensioner as well as...

These have a fairly easy installation and a diamond pattern with square links so you'll have good traction and a fairly smooth ride quality (at least when it comes to tire chains). If you'd like to get something a little nicer then check out the Konig XG12 Pro Tire Chains # TH01594225. These have the diamond pattern style with D links so the traction will be similar...

These cables will help provide traction in light snow and the low profile will offer a smooth ride. The Sentra's owner's manual requires that Class S chains be used, and the # TC1034 cables comply with that requirement. Per the owner's manual, chains or cables should only be installed on the front wheels. Rubber adjusters are recommended to use with these cables. I recommend...

The Toyota Corolla with a P215/60R16 will need the Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains # TC1545. These are the same style chains as the Titan # TC1555 you were looking at but in the correct sizes for your specific tires.

view full answer... - Tire Chain Recommendations for 2003 Toyota Camry with P205/65-15 TiresI have a better solution for you, but the part # PW1034 has been confirmed to fit your tire size 205/65-15. Instead for you I would recommend the # TC1540 for a similarly priced set that will fit and install easier, will last longer, and will provide better traction. If you need chains for all 4 wheels then you could easily just order two sets of these chains.

These features are not usually found on entry-level chains like the Glacier Cable Chains # PW1034 which are a good basic chain for occasional emergency use. All chains that fit your 2009 Volvo V50's stock size 205/50-17 tires are shown on the linked page. All are the low-profile type known as S-Class chains which work on vehicles that have limited...
view full answer... - Can Tire Chains Be Used on 2008 Scion xB with Larger Aftermarket Wheels and TiresThe online edition of the owner's manual for the 2008 Scion xB indicates on page 251 that S-Class chains can be installed on the front tires only. It further states that cable and V-bar type chains cannot be used. This information is based on Toyota's assumption that you have stock wheels and the stock 205/55-16 tires on the car. Aftermarket products such as larger wheels and wider tires can prevent safe use of chains because the increased diameter and width of your tires will reduce the...

The snow chains come in pairs, so you will have two chains for your drive axle. Since your vehicle is front wheel drive, you will only need chains on your front tires. I looked your owners manual up online and found there are recommendations for each size tire. Class S will meet these requirements. The Titan Cable Chains, ladder pattern will meet all you legal criteria and are...

If ease of installation along with traction is the priority, then I recommend the Konig Self-Tensioning, Low-Pro Snow Tire Chains...
