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!
I 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!
Heather A - 01/03/2019Very 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.

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.
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 - 12/16/2017The 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 - 01/20/2021Good fit that will not damage wheels. Hope I never need them.
Delivery 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
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!
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
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.
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.
Traveled 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.
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.
Just what I needed. Fast shipping.
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.
did not install on tires yet, but I like the quality a lot!
I haven't installed chains or boat trailer plug and 7 way cord yet.I would like to say that etrailer's quick shipping is second to none!!I buy a lot of things on line like ebay,but I am really impressed by your U.S map tracking system.Before I bought my items I emailed you to make sure of the fit,Your response was fast.
I got the chains quickly. Boy are they heavy. Very good service from Shawn B. She sent a video showing how to put them on. I set up the tire, wrapping the chains on the driver's side. All worked well until I tried to close the cam locks. One was too tight and would not slide over the chain link. I took it to my workbench and filed the slot so it would clear the link. Also, these eat into bare asphalt, so watch what you are doing in your driveway. I am from Illinois where chains are not allowed. The reason that I have them is to meet a requirement in the western National Parks. Hopefully I will not have to use them, but am glad to have them if they are needed.
This set is being used on front tires of a 31 hp tractor for snow plowing. Another two pair I use on my Tundra while working on steep, slippery logging roads. The locking cams are absolutely great. No more worries about having a chain come and tear off a brake line.
