When the snow piles up and grip disappears, these twist-link chains get you moving again. The rounded twist links grab firmly in deep snow while still giving a smoother ride than harsh square links. They also give some bite on ice, keeping your tires pulling forward so you can handle steep, slick roads with confidence.
The ladder-style pattern keeps steady contact as your tires roll, giving strong forward traction on snowy or icy stretches. Each rung helps your tires climb through buildup instead of packing it down. Whether you’re tackling a long uphill or easing down a slick driveway, this layout keeps your grip consistent.
These chains skip complicated cam systems entirely, so there’s nothing to loosen up when you back up or hit rough ground. Once they’re hooked together, they stay snug as you drive. For an even tighter fit, optional rubber adjusters can be added to pull everything evenly around the tire.
Each link is made from low-carbon steel for solid strength and durability in cold, punishing conditions. The 5.5 mm (0.218") thick links stand up to repeated use on snow-packed roads without giving up their shape. Dry them after each run and they’ll hold up season after season.
This set includes two chains sized for 15" – 17" tires, giving you dependable traction when storms hit. Keep them in your vehicle so you’re prepared for sudden snow or ice—once the road turns white, you’ll be ready to roll instead of stuck spinning your wheels.
These chains fit the following tire sizes:

Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Toyota Tacoma we're gonna be test-fitting the Titan chain snow tire chains, part number TC2221. These chains are designed for those deep snow situations. The twist lengths will give you excellent traction in deep snow and adequate traction on ice. It does have a ladder pattern design to it, which is gonna help out with effective starts and stops, and also with the twist links that's gonna limit the jarring while you're driving. Now comparing this to the square link design with other tire chains, those will actually wear more evenly over time and still provide the stability that you're needing with both snow and ice as well.Going behind the tire you can also see it's not gonna interfere with any of the cables or mechanisms on the inside. In fact there's plenty of space in between that and the suspension.
This comes in a quantity of two, has a maximum speed rating of 30 miles per hour when you're using them, and also comes with a convenient carrying bag, so once you take the chains off and have them dried off, you can place them in the back part of your truck and they're ready for next time.Today we're working with tire size 245-75-R16. We went ahead and laid the chain out in front of the tire like you see here to make sure there's no kinks in the lines before we make our install, and we also like to recommend that you wear gloves while you install these. Next we'll take our chain, we'll drape it around our tire as evenly as possible, and now we can go to the inside of the tire and make our first connection.Next we'll take our hook end here and connect it to our link like so, then go back to the front of the tire and make our connection there. We'll take our link end, put our hook through that, bend it back, and that's not quite enough tension that we want, so we'll just go to the next link, and there we go. And next we'll grab a rubber tensioner, which is sold separately, and attach that.All right, we'll be using part number TCMA2 today for our rubber tensioner.
You can find this on etrailer.com. And we'll just go around, and as we do this you'll see it's taking out the tension. And at this point what I'll do is drive a brief distance, double check and make sure the tension's working properly, and then you're gonna be good to go.There you have it for the Titan chain snow tire chains on the 2018 Toyota Tacoma.

I keep these chains in my van all year since they have helped in mud just as much as snow. Ive never gotten stuck when they are on. Make sure you get the rubber chain adjusters as well so they dont move - Item TCMA2

Double check that the chains are centered on the tire and that when installing the inside connection is secured first and then tighten the outside connection to make sure it isn't tightened unevenly. Are the chains shifting out of position or twisting on top of the tread if you drive a short distance with them?
