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.

These heavy-duty, square-link tire chains provide excellent traction in snow and ice. The diamond-pattern design offers great tire coverage. Made of a durable, corrosion-resistant manganese nickel alloy with built-in tensioners to ease installation.First of all, my order arrived 3 days earlier then expected! That’s great because I’m heading to PA for a couple weeks in the 2500 sprinter loaded with tools and having tire chains gives me a feeling of confidence.
I put the chain on one tire just to check fit. My driveway is pretty steep so it looks like the chain is a little loose, maybe on a level road it will be better.
The chains are heavy and appears to be a well made product. I’d like to say that I’m looking forward to using them, but a tall two wheel drive van in the snow is not my idea of a good time! At least I’m ready for whatever weather comes my way.
Sierra K - 12/06/2021Selected this design to be self installed. Upon inspection and first road test continues to thrill, another stellar etrailer.com purchase. Super fast install time minimal road side exposure. Super fine quality materials and assembly. Sorry old school products, money better applied to newer technology. My ride 2005 Chevy 2500HD.
I have not used these yet, purchased in case any of the half dozen annual snowstorms we get here are too much for just 4 wheel drive, and for the occasional trip up into the Colorado mountains. 2015 Nissan Frontier, tires are 265 70R16. Preliminary inspection when they arrived:
they appear to be well-made, medium-duty, and the included carrying bag seems like it should hold up well if not abused.
The color coding used for installation is just like the website video, and seems to be well thought out, one of the factors in the decision
to purchase these. I previously purchased a Tekonsha trailer brake controller from E-Trailer, and both times they shipped fast, stock
quality products, and seem to have excellent customer support if needed.
Update after Installing chains on tires, easy to install, only wish rubber strap would be few inches longer to get connected at more of a straight acrossed pull for tension. LOL,Glad I bought them and feel better prepared for winter weather.
Came with repair links, really fast set up. Use them on a two wheel drive Ford 250 van. Went places that 4wd we're not able to go in icey work site conditions
Purchased these for our service van here in NH. Been getting stuck in customer's driveways with snow & ice and had enough of it. Used them for first time yesterday to get out of my own driveway as it a slight incline & snowy so I had no traction. Got these on is about 10 minutes as it was first time. Back right out of driveway with no problem, removed in 5 minutes once back into dry pavement and I was on my way. Great product and definitely worth the purchase. Don't need them often but sure are a life saver when you do. Thank you etrailer!
Nick D - 02/15/2018products are great
Came super quick. Easy to instal. worked grate on my Chevy Express 3500
Fast delivery. Nice carrying case. Easy to install. Was looking for a tire chain that I could install with out moving vehicle. These are it. Got the idea to buy chains when seeing a semi with trailer stuck, driver put on chains and drove out. I have a 2wd pickup with posi and studded snow tires, it will go about anywhere, but with these chains I am not afraid of getting stuck.
Did a trial install today in 3" snow with packed snow and ice on road. Chains did great. we'll see about deep snow when it happens. Definitely do a trial run to know what links you need and how it tightens. After initial install I drive 1 car length and adjusted yellow chain and rubber bungee. Then drove 75' and hooked bungee on farther. Drove 1 more for about 100' and did what would be my final adjustment on yellow chain and bungee. Drove at 30mph for a bit and they stayed tight. Oh and if you have a cell phone in your pocket leave it in the vehicle so u don't lose it in the snow like I almost did.
Chains fit and arrived on time.
Incredibly fast service and follow through. Very customer oriented-(thanks George J.). I haven't used the chains yet, but will be ready when the snow falls. They look very well built and and come in it's own strong and durable case. Whether it's the nice note on the box to great instructions on the case, etrailer definitely provides great customer service!!
Very pleased with the product quality and excellent customer service. Within a day of placing the order, I received an email stating that shipping my chains would be delayed by a few days. Before I was able to respond to the email, I received a phone call from them offering other shipping options if I was in immediate need of them. I was very impressed with their follow up. Thank you!
Selection, availability, price and delivery time were all Excellent. Will carry in my truck for security when there is snowy weather.
Ron P - 12/09/2017I run these on my chevy express 2WD work van on the snowy days in the mountains of Colo.. I will put these on and take them off up to 3 times a day to get up steep driveways for service calls. They really make a difference and are very easy to install once you get the hang of it.
Fantastic product; very helpful staff; fastest shipping on record. I placed the order on Wednesday, and found the package waiting for me on my porch Thursday evening. The folks at etrailer.com are beyond awesome! I highly recommend them!
Have not tried them yet but the order process and time for delivery was so easy!
Very good product. Used several times up in Big Bear, California on a 2001 Jeep Cherokee. No issues with the installation and served it’s purpose perfectly
Ordered a set myself that didn't fit at first. Bill did an awesome job helping process the return and get me this set which fit perfectly. Super quick delivery too. 2006 Tacoma. 245-75 r16 BFG all terrain tires. Will use them to get up to Powder Mountain in Utah in February!
Thanks Bill!
Just bought a second set, bought 1st set a month ago. Used them for the 1st time today. They saved my ... Really did the trick. The 1st one took about 5 mins to install the second one was less than 3 mins. Not your old fashioned tire chain
Nicely made. Color coded. Easy to install. Good pattern for both traction and steering.
George was very prompt and thorough with my questions about this order.
Great service !
Thank you for your email. . They have worked OK except the rubber component that is at the end of the chain ripped out of the chain and are unusuable as there is no way to tighten the chain to itself. This has happened on only one set of chains. We bought two sets of 2 for our 4X4.
Chairs appear quality. Will dry run the ease of installing them later.
Arrived quickly. Haven't used yet. But sure will be all as expected as I bought these chains based on positive reviews
