These Titan Chain mud chains are great off-road chains. The heavy-duty, oversized cross chains and heavier-than-normal side chains are strong and durable, giving you a heavy-duty option for nearly any terrain. If you find yourself in a mud-digging situation, these chains are going to help give your vehicle purchase to pull out and keep moving. If you're more likely to see seriously icy conditions where you live, you may instead want a chain with square or V-bar links that can really bite into the ice for more traction.
If you know your tire size, you may think you won't need to test fit your new chains. But there are a lot of variables that can affect whether chains will fit your specific tires, including your tire type, the amount of air pressure in the tire, the amount of tread wear, and the tire manufacturer. You'll also need to know how much clearance is in your wheel well, which you can determine by measuring from your tire tread to the sidewall of the wheel well.
We recommend that you order chains as early in the season as possible to give yourself plenty of time to test fit the chains and reorder if needed. This way, you won't be stuck out in the cold later with snow chains that don't fit.
You can test fit these chains in your garage or driveway, but you'll want to wait until you're out in the wild to actually drive with them. Likewise, if you're out in the mud and come across bare pavement, you'll want to pull over and remove the chains. These chains can cause damage to the bare pavement, your garage floor, or your vehicle if they break from the wear of riding on a harsh surface.
Installing these chains is simple.
1. Lay out the chains on the ground to make sure there are no twists or kinks.
2. Drape the chains over your tires, making sure that the prongs attaching the cross chains to the side chains face away from your sidewalls.
3. On the back of the tire, pull the chain tight and hook the ends together. Repeat on the front of the tire.
4. Drive forward 2-3 vehicle lengths and recheck the chain tension. If needed, rubber adjusters (sold separately) can be used to get a tight fit. Make sure the hooks on the adjusters face away from your tire so your wheels don't get scratched.
Quick Tips:
To choose the right snow chain, you must match your tire size. Those measurements can be found on the side of your tire.

Get traction while driving off-road in mud or in deep snow. Round twist links offer a smoother ride than square links and provide an adequate grip on ice too. No cams or levers to come undone.Great customer service order shipped promptly. Chains are heavy duty and fit great on my 23 Tacoma. Shopped a lot of websites trying to find good heavy duty chains without camloks as they are worthless off Road. E-trailer had exactly what I wanted and at a good price.
I use these on a 1st gen Ram for plowing the driveway. They work great. They have enough traction, You could drive on the ceiling if you wanted
They went on pretty easy. Haven't used them yet. we'll see if they work.
Delivered on time, fit perfectly, worked great! Driving up a steep snow and ice covered road was no problem for my 2-wheel drive!
Arrived in a timely manner, chains are very heavy-duty. Excellent product!
Tire chains were delivered, they appear to be exactly what I was looking for.
Great service from etrailer
Delivered on time! They are heavy duty and fit great. Easy to install. Can’t wait to see them in action.
Got the chains in above picture for a hunting trip in Wyoming. Glad I did it snowed and had to use them. They worked great on my 2011 Tundra, didn’t spin a tire and not sure if I could have got out without them. Very heavy duty and should last a long time. And great customer service!
Delivered quickly and the website video was helpful. I practiced putting these on in the driveway, and they’re very simple to install. I may buy a new bag to hold them in though because they’re heavy, probably 40-50 pounds, and the bag they come in is a little iffy.
Rugged enough for rocky and snowy trails. Fits good and easy to install.
Worked awesome in deep snow this weekend. Fit the 275/65r18s on my F150 great.
Sold construction and perfect fit.
Review from a similar Twist Link Ladder in Tire Chains
I know iron. 17 yrs trucking, mostly doubles across Montana into the Dakotas. Chained up a lot.
Pictures show what you get with this set I bought for my 2005 Tahoe. Heavy gauge chains w/triple cam locks w/long wrench for excellent leverage to get cams tight. Tight cams mean links don't "slap" pavement which causes increased wear. They arrived today so not used yet. However, for my application they will last a lot longer than those cheaper; light gauge, "disposable" chains, use once and throw away after you pay a tow bill.
Review from a similar Twist Link Ladder in Tire Chains
I bought a pair of twist link (TC3235) for my front tires and V-Bars (TC3835) for my rear tires, so writing a combined review. The V-Bars have more traction but my front end doesn't have as much clearance so I opted for the twist links in the front. I've now used these offroad 4 times, and once briefly onroad during a major ice storm that left all of our roads with skating rink type ice.
First - both chains fit 37" x 12.5 R18 tires perfectly. This is despite the fitment not being listed on etrailer.com and the etrailer CS rep telling me they wouldn't fit. The Titan catalogue / website does list 37x12.5R18.
Second - two pair of chains *just* fit in a milwaukee packout "Compact Tool Box" (model No: 48-22-8422). There isn't a wasted inch of space. After using them, I dry them in my garage, then douse them in WD-40 before putting them back in the packout. These chains are made from an alloy that prioritizes strength over corrosion resistance, so surface rust appears pretty quickly on them. Be warned that lifting all four chains together is heavy.
Third - They give amazing offroad traction. The only way you're getting stuck is by getting high-centered. You will not run out of traction if you have weight on your tires. However, it is easy to get high centered when using these in the snow if you aren't careful. Don't spin your tires, or your axles and frame rails will be holding the vehicle while your wheels hang in the air.
Fourth - I would only recommend using these onroad in very limited circumstances. During an ice storm I had to get a neighbor to the hospital. We live on an extremely steep hill and the roads had 1" of clear ice on them. With the chains it was like the ice wasn't there. But the whole truck vibrated a lot. And it probably prematurely wore the chains. If I drove faster than ~15-20 mph it really rattled the truck. (offroad in the snow I'll drive 40+ mph no problem with these. but driving on hard surfaces causes a lot of vibration).
Review from a similar Twist Link Ladder in Tire Chains
Needed these chains for a snowboarding trio this December. Installed them in my yard to make sure they fit, and figure out which link worked best. Now that i know what link to use, next time it should only take sbout 10 min to put them on. I really like how they stay away from my wheels so should not scrstch them. My yard was very soft from recent rain and you can see how well the chains dig into the mud. Should be really good on snow/ice.
Review from a similar Twist Link Ladder in Tire Chains
I used these on a 2wd open diff F150 with a camper. The traction difference is amazing! I never lost traction! If you’re on a pass that warns “chains or AWD”, don’t go without chains or off road tires. I puttered along at 30 in the unplowed lane watching a clown in an AWD BMW slide everywhere in the plowed slush, holding up traffic.
Anyway, the chains themselves. I’ve used diamond pattern chains with a cable on the inside and fancy nonsense on the outside before. The cable always collects snow, and the multiple connections on the outside is confusing. These ladder chains were easy and simple to put on and take off. I used tensioner bungees also. You will get a bumpy ride, but it smooths out as you speed up. Anyone that claims ladder chains don’t have lateral grip hasn’t used them and doesn’t understand the physics of why chains help.
Great for going up a pass periodically, but not something I’d use daily.
Review from a similar Twist Link Ladder in Tire Chains
These chains are amazing! I use them on a 12 passenger van and they install very quickly and easily. I have driven on unplowed roads with 2' snow drifts and have hauled trailers through muddy fields without getting stuck. I highly recommend them.
Review from a similar Twist Link Ladder in Tire Chains
Chain’s arrived quickly and I did a fit up and just right size for my tires (285-70-17) with no extra links to worry about.
Tensioners I ordered were wrong size. No fault of etrailer.
I have ordered from etrailer and have had no issues with them.
Review from a similar Twist Link Ladder in Tire Chains
These chains worked perfectly . Used them on my Tacoma and was able to drive some snow and ice covered non-plowed state forest roads without issue. They were easy to install and remove.
Review from a similar Twist Link Ladder in Tire Chains
Good quality. The Cam style is worth any extra money if so required and is the way to go
etrailer was the best price I could fine, they even beat [online]. Shipping was free, what a bargain for a heavy duty set of Light Truck snow chains !
Review from a similar Twist Link Ladder in Tire Chains
Quality products that etrailer stands behind, fast delivery and the best customer service out there. These chains work excellent in snow, slush & ice on my F150. 4 chains make a huge difference over just 2, for getting through the nasty stuff without getting stuck. Well worth the investment, and nice storage bag.
