Installation
1. Spread the chain around the back of the tire.
2. Connect the yellow and blue cable at the back of the tire.
3. Push the cable into place behind the tire and center the cross chains on the tire's tread. Then, on the front side of the tire, join the 2 ends of the yellow side chain using the green hook.
4. Feed the silver draw chain with the rubber tensioner through the red channel at the bottom and pull it tight. Then run the tensioner through the red rings. (Note: Depending on your tire size, you might not be able to thread through both rings.) Pull the tensioner across the tire and fasten it to the yellow chain on the opposite side.
5. Pull your vehicle forward and retighten the chain.

Made of a durable, corrosion-resistant manganese nickel alloy with built-in tensioners to ease installation.This is a tough review to make, because they only lasted one year. I used to have a pair of old style chains for about 10 years that I inherited, age untold. They got stolen so I decided to give these a try and absolutely loved them. You can put them on in about 2 minutes while wearing gloves. I beat the absolute he** out of them. I put them on to get into a steep 1/4 mile driveway every day and often used them on the road. One of them eventually broke beyond repair, but like I said I absolutely beat them. Overall they saved me so much time and headache and money in tow trucks, and ultimately allowed me to get to rural customer's houses to fix their plumbing. I have bought another pair, and would recommend them to anyone.
Arrived 2 days early. I put them on my Promaster campervan and was able drive up my ice covered driveway easily from a standing start with no wheel spinning. If I was planning on lots of winter driving I would install snow tires. But this is an excellent alternative for occasional use in bad weather. They took about 1/2 hour to install, I expect to get faster with practice.
The chains fit my 225/75-R16 light truck tires perfectly and clear the wheel well (1995 motor home on Ford E350 chassis). They go on the outside of my dual rears. The gap between the tires is small, and it took some effort to feed the chain through at the bottom. Since I carry blocks for leveling anyway, I plan to drive the inner rears onto 2x6s to lift the outer tires off the ground, or at least make it easier to install and straighten out the chains. I have not had a chance to test-drive the chains yet.
I used this product the day after they arrive promptly from etrailer. These chains were easy to install, even when my 2017 Promaster 1500 was already stuck in the mud with a 3/4 ton load in the cargo bay. Following the installation, I was able to gain traction immediately and continue down the saturated, unpaved road grade to the job site without further incident. I've driven only 4WD trucks for years to avoid such incidents and was happy to gain some off- road confidence in a 2WD van with the help of these chains. Looking forward to trying them out in the snow.
These chains are great! The major benefit of these is that you can install them without moving the car. This can be a lifesaver if you are stuck in the snow and can't move the car to roll over traditional chains. I love these chains so much. I'm such a fan of these chains that I actually bought a second set as a backup/spare.
I recently went winter camping and used my new chains. The chains added at least twice the traction to my mud and snow tires by themselves.
Love them. Used them last winter during a substantial ice and snow storm. Worked perfectly.
Great product and prompt service!
excellent!
Work great and easy to put on.
un open, have not had snow.
Thanks, fast shopping and great product.
Good service, good product, I am really beginning to like this company for their attention to detail.
Easy to put on. Especially the second t ime.
Review from a similar Diamond Alloy in Tire Chains
These chains were amazing! I was a bit hesitant to go with chains over cables due to the car's manual saying to use cables, but after talking to Bob at etrailer, and watching the install videos, I went with them (on all four tires) and am glad I did! We went up to Yosemite for the New Year, and it snowed the day we drove in. We got through the gate into the park without needing chains, but once inside, the roads started to get covered, and though we have AWD, we don't have snow tires and the chains seemed like the best option. We pulled over and had the chains on all four tires within about 20 minutes. The car ran like a tank through the snow (and later, ice-covered roads) and I'm really happy we went with the chains rather than cables. After putting on the chains, we drove about 100 yards to check and tighten them. They were actually pretty tight - only had to tighten one. They really really came in handy driving through the Yosemite Valley, and the email responses I got from Bob prior to buying these showed me great customer service. The shipping speed was top notch as well, and overall, I'm happy that we went with etrailer to get these chains for our snow-covered trip to Yosemite.
Review from a similar Diamond Alloy in Tire Chains
They seem like good chains, but they don't seem to fit my 2021 Toyota Sienna AWD tires like it said they should (235/65/17). The tensioner chain is too short for me to pull tension on adjacent yellow chains and I am worried this will negatively impact the chains stability on my tires. I can barely get the rubber tensioner through the first red ring after pulling and readjusting several times. This is my first time using snow tire chains... Would someone with experience be able to let me know if this is OK or if I should buy some different chains?
Review from a similar Diamond Alloy in Tire Chains
Excellent service and a very good product. I had a slight issue and they handled it right away. The product itself is like a knobby ice and snow grabber, it works well. I have a 2wd and am considering a second pair for the front tires. Installation is straightforward. I always advise practicing the install multiple times at home because it’s a lot more difficult in sub 20f temps ;).
I highly recommend the product, etrailer, and winter tires
Ps buy a few backup rubber tighteners just in case!
Review from a similar Diamond Alloy in Tire Chains
Chain tire set was received several days before the date indicated in the order. My tire size 275/65-20 was not listed on the label of the TC2335 chain set received, even though it was indicated to be good for my tire size by Etrailer. I test fitted the chains in accordance with the etrailer video and it fit just fine as you can see in the attached photo. These chains should do well for our National Park trip in a few months.

I have no previous experience with vehicle tire chains. I ordered and received these Titan chains from etrailer in a very timely manner. The only reason for my 4 of 5 stars is that I have yet to use them. I took pictures after installing on a rear tire of my 2006 GMC Sierra 1500. LT 265/70-17. These Titan chains seem to fit very well. Etrailer's installation video helped make my 1st attempt easy and successful. Thank you etrailer!
Review from a similar Diamond Alloy in Tire Chains
Great service, tracking, and follow up. Chains showed up a day early too. I ordered the Diamond chains for 265/70R17 KO'2 tires. Fit good, easy to install. Note in image that I put my tires up on blocks to install. This works quite nicely, especially with the edge lugs on the tires to get things lined up and properly fit. Much easier, cleaner, and warmer to fit chains in the garage or driveway before crawling around on ice, snow, and slush with cold hands etc...
Review from a similar Diamond Alloy in Tire Chains
Jessica was very helpful selecting which chains to purchase. They fit well, the price was very competitive and arrived quickly. I had to deliver some material to a mountain location and needed to go down a couple of steep inclines. I put chains on all four tires of my truck and one axle on the trailer. I didn't have any slipping or sliding on an icy snow-packed road.
Review from a similar Diamond Alloy in Tire Chains
The chains go on much more easily than the old ladder type and of course offer great traction. Be sure to take them off in exactly the reverse order as you put them on. Otherwise, like me, you will have to climb under the truck to get them off. As always E-trailer under promises and out performs getting these back ordered chains to me before i head off to the mountains from frozen Northern Minnesota.
