V-Bar Icebreakers
The V-shaped studs (also known as icebreakers, spikes, or cleats) that are built into these twist-link tire chains bite into ice, providing superior grip for a safer ride on ice-covered roads.
Installation
1. Drape the chain over the tire, making sure that the V-bars are facing out.
2. Drive forward about 1/4 of a tire revolution. (You can also lay the chain out and then drive onto it.)
3. Fasten the ends of the chain together.
4. 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.
5. 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.

Bought chains for a small Kubota tractor and an F150 4x4. We recently had over 8" of snow on our gravel driveway, and the chains were a godsend. With the chains , the Kubota was unstoppable and I was able to plow. Haven't tried the truck yet. 333664
Chains are as advertised. I was just surprised that they came in plain heavy bags, stitched closed, with instructions printed on the bags of how to apply them. Previous chains I purchased had come in their own storage cases.My mistake, not your's for not investigating further. I found an old metal tool box I can use to store them, since I bought 2 sets for my 4x4 Tundra and they are over 35 pounds total.. Shipping was as promised and no Hassle. 163952
Sorry, no pictures! Wasn't thinking when I did my test fit. :( I was not sure how to put these on from the instructions on the bag to I "googled" a video for this product. Once I had viewed the video, installation was a snap! I was concerned that, even though all of the cams were tightened, the chains were not snug against the tire. I used the add-on tensioners that I purchased and I achieved a snug fit. Hopefully, all will be well when the need for real use actually arrives. Product seems well made and, as stated before, installation was easy! 325453
Product fit and performed as promised. Communication about my order status from etrailer was great. Price was as good as any I could find. the only downside was item I ordered was out of stock and it took a while to receive. I was given the option to substitute and declined but I thought that was another part of the great service. I would definitely purchase from etrailer again. 111217
matt - 12/26/2014Order placed on a Friday night and had my snow chains on Wednesday afternoon. Instructional videos (on the etrailer site) very helpful and informative. Very happy with my transaction. Thank you. 551918
Arrived as promised. Installation is pretty straightforward. 588397
I have yet to strap the chains to the truck. Product arrived quickly and does appear to be exactly as described and pictured in the photos. This is the second product purchased via E-Trailer with 100% satisfaction. Thanks, Mark Romeo 321552
Mark R - 12/04/2017Bought TC2828CAM tire chains and TCSA2 chain tension springs. Haven't had a chance to use either the tire chains nor the link springs; however, all items where shiny and new and looked to be made of first class metal, so I'd expect each item to work as advertised without issue. The speed of delivery was like 2 days, so awesome. E-mail updates of shipping and the ability to track it was fine. I'd recommend purchases from here for whatever you'd want. 241107
Make sure you get the TCMA2 Titan Chain Multi-Arm Rubber Tire Chain Adjusters! I ordered the TC2828CAM chains for my 2016 Tacoma with 265/60-18 tires (the same truck/tires/chains in the video). Easy to install but unfortunately mine fit VERY loose when fitting them on a dry run. With the hooks on the tightest linkage & all cams tightened, they are still loose. So loose that two of the ladders can sit side by side with everything else tightened. This makes the rubber adjusters a must. 316125
I use my chains about every third weekend over the winter so I can pull my ice castle fish house on the lake. The chains allow me the ability to go just about where ever I wish. That being said, my tire chains are not as heavy duty as I thought they would be. They have not broken or failed. They are lighter duty than the similar ones my cousin and uncle bought from another site. I have a 2013 Dodge Ram Sport with 275/60/20 tires. I went with etrailer because tirechains did not have 275/60/20 listed. I find out now, that I should have just entered 33x10.5. On yours, the cam wrench bent with the 1st installation, and with the bent handle it is difficult to put them on without the assistance of a large screwdriver and channel lock. The cam wrench supplied with their set is both longer and a larger diameter. The design where the ends of the chains connect to each other on the outside of the wheel is also much simpler than what your design is. My chains fit tight around the diameter of the tire and it's almost impossible to get the little triangle slid over the tab, especially when the wrench is in there. I get it close, then use the channel lock to hold the lever in place, take the wrench out, then take the screw driver and pry against the tire to get clearance so I can slide the triangle piece into place. The triangle is tight against the wall of the tire preventing it from sliding easily. Try doing this procedure with gloves on when it is -20 air temp with -35 windchills. It's not possible. It's not always that cold, but anything outside in the winter is not fun without gloves. I'm disappointed with my tire chains, but haven't had the funds to buy a new set from another site yet. I think the fix would be to re-engineer the triangle slip locking piece or whole connection method, but more importantly provide a higher quality cam wrench that has a longer handle, made from thicker and a higher grade metal. I figured I'd reply since you sent me a follow up email. 468839
Tire chains fit great! Plenty of snow on the ground to test em out. They showed up promptly and great customer service now and in the past. Would recommend 100%. 335435
Great set of chains. These are easy to install which is a big plus when the temperature is below zero. Instructions are very simple and clear. Best part of all was the price. Surprisingly low when I compared it and the product to higher priced, lesser quality chains. Don’t think you can go wrong with these or this company. Order/ ship time was one day. 450777
Dave H - 11/10/2018Seemed to be great at first for my plow truck, first sign of trouble when I got the blade hung up in the snow bank that required a bit of aggression and the chain links broke. I mended, and continue to mend on a regular basis if there is any aggressive driving required. 722390
Bought these to put on my 2012 Ram with aftermarket wheels and tires (275/60R20’s) these chains were a pain to put on and after about an hour I got the first one on. I made sure to practice putting them on at home before heading to the snow. Well made chains but be aware that for this certain size tire you’ll be able to get them on but not without some muscle power. Watching a video helped but I had to get every bit of slack I could to muscle the latch shut and get it onto the keeper link. 728441
Have not needed to use them yet luckily but I tried them on when I got them and they fit well and went on easy. Hope I keep up the streak of not needing them but I'm ready when I do. 584437
Easily the best purchase I've made for my truck. I've never had to use chains when driving in the snow, but after a close call last storm, I ordered two pairs of chains for my 4x4. Tried them out last weekend, and they are amazing. Slick ice in between mtns. does not stand a chance. Recommend at least one pair if you drive on ice. 344099
No Complaints, just called to place another order. very satisfied.. 573572
Awesome chains great value... Seriously heavy duty full link chains that are easy to put on. Great fit, put them on and never had to adjust or retighten them all day. Would recommend these chains and this seller to closest of friends. 328034
Dunno what this portends, but I recently purchased my 1st ever set of snow chains. For years local road plows have been sufficient, but with Lake Erie conditions can get dicey. Did my research and settled on Titans for my 09 Doge Ram 1500 Pickup (TC282CAM). They must be good ones. Reviewed a how-to-do-it Youtube video where a Canadian CVSE officer demonstrated putting them on his work vehicle. Then i went out and familiarized myself with the procedure. Removal goes easier when the inside hook is released first. lol 324706
charles j - 12/15/2017I cannot imagine a better experience purchasing tire chains. Very user friendly web site made selection process simple and customer service was simply outstanding. I wish every online purchase was this like this one. Thank you. Great job. 337882
Great price and fast shipping, Produce fit and performed awesome!! Easy to install, would/will buy again. 332865
Service was fast and the service staff quite helpful. I hope not to have to use the chains but I’m ready for the Rockies now. Thank you etrailer. 586089
TCSA2 chain tighteners 1 pr TCMA2 chain tighteners 1 pr TC2828CAM tire chains 1 pr The above items were purchased for use on my 2000 Ford F350 crewcab 4X4 Truck. Excellent website and easy to use. Costs of items very competitive. Shipping time was prompt! and items were well packaged. Included several pictures of the items and of the installation on one of the Truck rear tire; LT285/75R 16 BFG all terrain tires... Installation went well and there were no problems; everything looked good after the chains and tensioners were installed... Hope this helps other folks out there. Great products that I would highly recommend to other folks!! Thanks, Henry 337518
Henry S - 01/22/2018I will give these a positive review based on my experience with etrailer. They were reasonably priced and arrived in a timely manner. Customer service is always great with shipping and delivery updates. However, these are snow chains. They were purchased as a "just in case" item and I have yet to use them. Should I use them this winter I will check back in with an updated review. 314526
I live on an unpaved road 7 miles in high on a mountain which ices up nightly. Winter starts here mid October and ends mid May. These ice chains are needed to get me home a few nights a week during the winter months. They fits as described. I questioned Angela at customer service if these chains wold fit “E” load tires. She told me they would and they do. I like etrailer as my goto accessory store for my HD Sierra, Tundra and Tahoe Z71. The videos are very informative except I haven’t been able to install the chains without moving the vehicle. I need to roll it either forward or back to complete the install. Please see photos.
