Installation
1. Drape the chain over the tire and drive forward 1/2 of a tire revolution. (You can also lay the chain out and then drive onto it.)
2. Reach around to the back of the tire and fasten the rear side cable by running the end with the metal stops through the eye of the hook on the opposite end.
3. Run any excess side cable through the metal clip.
4. Repeat this process on the front side of the tire.
5. Drive forward 1 car length, then check the chain and hand tighten it again if needed.
You can use rubber or chain adjusters (sold separately) to increase the tension on the chains for a tighter fit.

The low-carbon steel rollers on these ladder-pattern cable chains provide good traction in light snow. The low profile ensures a smooth ride for vehicles with limited wheel well clearance.My order came very fast, and after receiving my order, I did a test run. I have a 2020 Toyota RAV4, the chain cable fitted perfectly.
I purchased a set of tire snow chains for a 2014 Hyundai Sante Fe Sport AWD. The price was reasonable and I received them in a reasonable time period. The quality of the chains were great, and they came with their own carry case. I did add additional / optional rubber support tensioning straps. These items will stay with this vehicle for as long as I own it. Thank you, Rich Rossi
Richard - 11/19/2019I just ordered a second set of these like I should have from the start. I was using one set of chains on my FWD car. Getting a second pair so I will have chains on all of my tires. These chains fit and performed perfectly.
I haven't had the opportunity to use them yet. But I did a test fit. They fit very nicely on my 225/75R16 tires. It snugged up nicely even without the rubber adjusters.
Ordered this set of tire chains (Titan TC2019) from etrailer because I have previously had good dealings with the company, and have seen them sell good quality products. Also, I was able to determine precisely, from their website, the kind of chains that would be best, and that would fit my tires (not always easy on other websites). These tires are on a 2019 RAV4 with 225-60-18 tires (a bit unusual size). Fitment: The cross-chains are just right for 225 and slightly wider tires. However, the edge cables (around the tire circumference) are right at being too long, but tighteners should take up the slack that develops (and extra length makes them easier to install). Higher profile 225-70-18 winter tread tires would fit perfectly, I think. Quality: The chains themselves appear to be sturdily constructed--cable "chains," for light weight use on SUVs (not for heavily loaded pickups or trailer towing). The cross-link connectors are well-designed, and appear to be heavy enough. The chain installation fasteners are good--work easily and look to be quite secure. Usage: They are cables, not chains; very adequate for light snow, or plowed and sanded surfaces, and, being cables, they are easily stowed. As cables, although they'll work in deep snow, yet true chains will work much better. These will be adequate on hard ice (drive carefully!), but there are better choices for ice. But as cables, they don't require much clearance room to function--plenty of room on the RAV4. They attach firmly, and appear to be easy to install with freezing fingers (if that can be said of any tire chain!). They have the right sort of pieces and layers over the cross-tie cables to provide traction, long life and stay secure. I'll see how they work when I hit the snow--to see if they hold up as well as previous similar traction devices I have used. Down side: The bag they come in has *flimsy* zippers. Compress the cables well before you try to close the bag on them! I had to cross bungee them to get them into the bag, and then again after they were in the bag. (Why did they fit in the bag so well when they were packed in China???) Summary: I have only fitted them on the tire to verify correct choice. I have used this kind of "chains" (cables) in the past and found them to be perfectly adequate for traction and long life. These look like a good purchase for my use.
I bought these chains for my 5th wheel trailer due to the fact I will be traveling through some mountains during the winter time and wanted to be prepared. I received the chains and put them on to test fit and they fit well and go on easily. The other nice part is that they hug the tire fairly well so that it shouldn't grab any fender well or trim pieces.
Hello, yes I love the tire chains. Didn't get any snow last year. I used them for the first time this year. They worked great. Thank you
Trevor B - 03/12/2018Getting new cables for an Audi Q5 - tight timeframe to head up to the snow - etrailer walked me through my options clearly, made a recommendation, and shipped the product to me expedited so I could make the trip. Cables arrived 3 days early! Great company, great experience.
Easy to install and comes in a nice storage bag. Not bulky like other chains I have used in the past. Etrailer is the best to order through. The process is easy and items always ship fast.
Haven’t used them on my motorhome yet. Seem to be of a good quality. Only gave three stars because it’s hard to view something that you purchased just in case you might need it. In this case I hope I never come back to review them!
I ordered these for a trip I was taking that had a high chance of snow on the roads. I haven’t had to use them yet but I did install them before I left to ensure they fit. The videos were a big help showing how to use them. They shipped and arrived just as stated on the site.
Have not used the chains yet (no snow) but they look good, and the shipping was very fast. Thanks for the great service.
Review from a similar Ladder Cable in Tire Chains
Purchased Titan Tire Chains for Wide Base Tires - Ladder Pattern - Square Link part TC3229S for a 2018 Ram 2500 with OEM 275/70/R18 tires. These are great chains and very heavy-duty for wide base tires. I mounted them on the rear axle of the Ram and discovered the chain in close proximity to the P-Brake cable, too close for my comfort. I believe the wide base chains are too wide for these OEM tires and fit was pretty loose. One could gain more clearance near the E-Brake by attaching the inside hook to the end (last) link. Then using a chain a tightener do your best to take up all the outside slack. I just was not comfortable with the overall fit so I send these chains back. Very painless return made easy by etrailer because they emailed a return UPS label. After reviewing tech info and reviews I purchased Titan Alloy Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - Square Link part TC2533 for the 2018 Ram 2500. These are regular duty and a better fit. These chains offer a lot more clearance for the P-Brake cable. They are a cleaver design, have great carrying case and are fairly quick to install. I have not purchased winter tires for this vehicle so the Ram need chains to pull a travel trailer up and down our snow-covered road.

Titan Chain Cables are great quality and so easy to use. We were able to intuitively put them on and take off quickly. Etrailer has the best prices I've seen after researching. Also, they have the BEST customer service, specifically Jane S. & Tammie P. I was not familiar with cables and our Subaru had specific clearance requirements. They made sure I received the correct type, fit and clearance for my car. We highly recommend!
Review from a similar Ladder Cable in Tire Chains
Just received my chains yesterday. I have to say, first of, customer service is EXCELLENT! I had questions on which chains were best for my SUV and I was promptly responded with suggestions and links to videos. I went with these tire cables for my 2015 Dodge Durango SXT Plus. There was question about clearance issues with brake lines on the Durango and these seem to be very low profile and made for lower clearance. The price was right too. I did a dry install today and it was a breeze. Took way longer to fold these back up and put back into the storage bag! Lol! (That's not these chains fault, it's user error...) I took some pictures but note it was my first time installing tire cables so I'm going to have to center them a bit more. I purchased the Titan chain multi arm rubber chain adjusters and they did make a difference on how snug the cables fit, so I would recommend them. We only plan on using them on very rare occasions when we venture up the mountain, so in sure if you live where it snows all the time, you will probably look at higher prices chains, but I think these are perfect for the occasional use. I will update after our Big Bear trip if we use them to reflect actual use. Thank you etrailer, they also upgraded my shipping to get here a couple days earlier just because... that was amazing!

I won't be able to test the quality of the tire chains until winter. That is, however, if we get any snow. The price was very good and the order process and tracking system were one of the best I've ever used. Good job, E-Trailer! Doug at Anderson Island, Washington

Did the job and got me to the mountains! Here’s a pic from Sequoia National Park. Would definitely use with the bungee cord type tire chain adjusters to help keep the chains tight.

Review from a similar Ladder Cable in Tire Chains
Bought the Glacier v-bar chains for the rear tires in extreme conditions and the Titan cable chains for lighter duty, also to be installed on the rear tires. Videos show that the cable-chains can be installed on the front tires of a 2020 or greater Toyota Tacoma, though not recommended by the owner’s manual. These cables are S-class compatible so they should work on the front tires, however caution should be taken as appropriate. I would recommend only installing on the front tires after the v-bar chains have been installed on the rear tires and extra traction is deemed worthy. Both the Glacier and Titan multi-arm adjusters were ordered in support of the chains. Parts arrived as ordered in a timely fashion. Have not installed or used these products at the time of review.

I was moving across country through the mountains and saw there was going to be a lot of snow when I started the trip in 10 days. Nobody in Southern California carried the chains I needed. The etrailer tire chains were priced right, arrived quickly and fit perfectly.
Review from a similar Ladder Cable in Tire Chains
Great service again from a very reputable company. Tire chains arrived one day earily and in great shape. The video for installing 20" chains is excellent even for someone who has installed many. No pictures yet...hope I don't need to use them for a while!
Russell - 04/15/2020Review from a similar Ladder Cable in Tire Chains
For those with an F-250 with 20” wheels, you know the pain of figuring out what you can and cannot do, according to Ford’s owners manual, for chains/cables. If you live in a state that requires carrying chains (traction devices), figuring out what will work with the 250/350’s can be confusing. I knew I needed cables for the 20”s but couldn’t find the right ones that fit a 275/65r20, so after a few minutes online, I called the 800 number. Great response, very helpful, knew exactly what I needed and was even able to recommend the tensioners I needed. I was able to order them online within 5 minutes. The shipping on etrailers part was exceptional, not so much for UPS, but they still got to me in a very reasonable time. Overall, I’m super pleased with my etrailer online and on phone experience! You’re probably wondering about the cables I bought? I dunno, they look great, and the bag they came in was a plus, as it fits under the back seats no problem. The F-250 Fx4 really does not need cables, even with the stock Michelin’s ATX, took it up into the mountains with 2-3” new snow and more falling all day and didn’t experience any issues. But I gotta have them legally, so these are the ones I got and I think they’ll do very well if I ever get stuck.

Got chains delivered sooner than estimated. Chains are a great product for the price, and performed great while driving up in the Big Bear Mountains.
Review from a similar Ladder Cable in Tire Chains
I've used the cable snow chains with steel rollers in Colorado when the DOT announced chain laws over the radio. It does its job of keeping the vehicle on the road and it's easy to put on the wheels. Great for emergency use if caught in ice or snow. I keep two pairs of chains in the car just in case we run into increment weather. As to the different brands, I'll have to see which one lasts longer when they are used. Etrailer is a great place to shop.
