Installation
1. Drape the chain over the tire and drive forward about 1/4 of a tire revolution. (You can also lay the chain out and then drive onto it.)
2. Fasten the ends of the chain together.
3. Use the cam tensioning devices that are built into the side chain to tighten. Do this by inserting the flat end of the included wrench into the slot on each cam and twisting it.
4. Drive forward a bit and tighten the chain as needed.
You can use rubber or chain adjusters (sold separately) to increase the tension on the chains for a tighter fit.

Yes chains ride rough.. real rough to be honest, but its better than not making it to your destination. They are heavy ( a big pro) feel like excellent quality and would recommend them to anyone who lives in a state that allows them.
Joe - 12/19/2020Good chains, but were a bit too long for my 2017 Lexus GX, so a few links of chain had to be cut with a bolt cutter. Even with the chain cut, there is a little extra length that needs to be tied up so that it isn’t clunking as you drive. I’ve had plenty of experience installing chains (both cable and regular) and these were the most difficult ones I’ve ever put on. Hopefully this gets a bit easier with practice!
Very easy installation (watch the video on the etrailer website) and excellent fit on a 2010 Tundra. I plan to visit Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana in the winter and most routes have a few mountain passes.
Geoffrey - 02/02/2021I got the chains on just before a big snowfall. I put them on my plow truck. (Silverdo with a 8’ meyers) what a difference. Plowed up and down my ice and snow covered 1/4 mike drive with lots of curves and hills. Couldnt be happier with the chains. It took me 2 hours to install them. Never had chains before. There is a learning curve. I expect it will take me 1/2 hour next time. The cam tensioner wrench is made of really soft steel and broke within 15 minutes. I would recommend spending the money for a better one. They about as much as a beer at a ballgame.
This is the 3rd set of chains I've bought from eTrailer, the first 2 sets were for my work truck and this most recent purchase was for my personal truck. I work as a delivery driver and bought the first set of chains because i don't have a lot of say which snowy/icy roads i deliver to. Being a work truck the first set of chains got abused a bit so when they finally failed it wasn't unexpected, but up until that point they were nothing short of perfect. So far the 2nd set for my work truck is going strong (with a bit more effort not to abuse them as much). This 3rd set is for my personal truck and more for peace-of-mind than anything else, i doubt they will see more than extremely rare use but i have no doubts that they will work as well as i expect them to. I have not yet taken advantage of the "customer service" from eTrailer since every single thing I've ordered has been received and worked exactly as expected. Communication regarding my order and shipping has always been excellent and even better than i expected. Shipping has been super fast and I've received my products days before i thought i would. ***the picture included isn't exactly the best but you can see the chains and conditions that day (that truck is about the worst vehicle for driving in winter conditions)... also those chains are a different size but they are the same chains.
I had some concerns about the chains fitting my vehicle, 2015 Ram 1500 with P275/60R20. I couldn't find any information from Dodge, nor my dealer, but Etrailer.com just happen to have a video showing 3 options for my exact truck. I tried them on to make sure they fit, and they fit pretty snug and look like they will do just fine. I haven't tested them in the snow, but I will write a follow up review once that happens.
Not sure these chains would last on a Ford F250 diesel. They are really designed for light weight subcompact passenger car. We shall see .... I am not planning to carry any significant weight on the snow so they should hold up a few seasons. The price is awesome!

Went through a couple different sets before biting the bullet on these babies. Easy install after very little adjustment. The cam option is definitely the way to go.
The chains and stretchers are as advertised. The processing was swift and the free shipping was much appreciated. The only downside was opening the chians bag and seeing the large "Made in China" tag attached. If I had seen this in the selling information, I probably would not have purchased them.
Heather A - 01/20/2021Delivery was prompt No issues with order I ordered the chains in the event I needed them for 2019 hunting season due to having needed and not having chains resulting in accident in 2018 in . As of now have not needed , no ice or snow yet .I will update once chains have been utilized . Thank you etrailer
Good fit that will not damage wheels. Hope I never need them.
Brand new & looking good. I put my order in & by the next day they were already shipped. Awesome service! They are much heavier than I thought. Haven't had a chance to use them yet, but they look heavt duty. Great buy, I will reccomend to everyone buy from etrailer just for the speedy service. Thank you to everyone at etrailer!
A Bag of Chains is better that a Sack of Coal for Christmas. Seriously, if it's slick outside from snow or ice, one bag of tire chains will get me home safely. With a rear wheel drive pickup, I would need 10 bags of coal to get a grip. I'm glad they came in a heavy duty canvas bag which takes up less room than a plastic box- that might not last a season. Also, etrailer.com had an easy-to-use tire size guide to match to the right products, and a good selection of products to choose from. Mainly, these chains give me the confidence to be the backcountry when the weather report is sketchy.
Chili P - 12/16/2017Traveled western mountain passed where chains can be required. Although I didn't encounter a chains required situation, it was safe having a set in the truck. Initial testing at home showed chains were relatively easy to install and tighten.
The tire chains are tire chains. They work like they should and are great for the price. The real story here is etrailers customer service and shipping speed. I needed these last minute for a trip into the mountains and I placed the order late. However, they shipped these out the evening I placed the order and they came a day early. I would definitely recommend these guys to any one.
Got to use them once and they were great. Easy to instal tighten. Shortly there after the truck was wrecked. The new one has different tires so I’ll need to adjust these or get a new pair.
I've had great luck with these chains and the associated bungies. 0 complaints at all. For come context; I live on a private road, on the side of a mount in rural Vermont. I rely quite heavily on chains to get me up and down without worry. These do the trick -- I may be buying another set for my rears this year as well.
I can not say one way or another. By the grace of God I did not need them while on vacation last winter. I will tell you I would not have been in the mountains with out them.I will give you excellent on security.
Keep it under my back seat at all times,bag it came in really sturdy. Had to use it only a few times worked flawlessly.,,,I suggest to all my friends to get a pair.
My husband put them on his truck, as soon as he got them. Delivery time was great! He was impressed with the packaging, chain quality and they fit perfectly and tightened easily. Highly recommend E-trailer!!
During test trial, they looked to have fit & installed fine.. Looking forward to traveling knowing we have a backup in case of bad weather.
These chains make a big difference. At first they seemed to be on the high side as far as price goes. But now that I've used them for the first time, I'll never take them off. They are well worth the $$ . Thank you guys so much for helping me order these chains for my tractor.
Sturdy chain set that works quite well. etrailer also has fast shipping. Arrived in only 3 business days after order!
Chains fit perfect and they are exactly what I was looking for, they are exactly what I use to use on a semi,just a smaller version. Very happy with purchase and great price Thanks
