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.
How to Choose Snow Chains for Your Vehicle

The V-bar studs on these chains bite into ice to give you superior traction. The ladder pattern assists with starts and stops. Low-carbon steel twist links are great in deep snow. Cam tighteners let you quickly adjust the fit for simple installation.They are great chains but you have to, have to, have to, I can’t express it enough, buy the rubber bungee cord hooks to make it tighter and keep the chains on, I tried without it at first and any speed over 8mph and they might fall off, I have a 2018 F150 and with both products I can drive up to 35 to 40 mph without any issues even though I think that speed is not recommended, I just wanted to see what would happen. It’s a Texan thing, I’ve used these in Colorado and New Mexico and are perfect
They fit my 275/60-20 tires on my RAM 1500 just right. Took less than a minute to put each one on. Took it for a drive everything seems great.
Great looking set of chains!!! Put one on my Toyota 4x4 to see how they fit. It was much easier to put on, and that cam system works great an love those V-bars. I think they will do a great job for my truck and on our mountain roads.
Tested 'em out and fit exactly. Tied back with a chain link for no loose ends. Headed north with the snow and ice. Ready for the road ahead. Easy install. Cam over pulled everything tight. 265-70-17's .
Never used chains before. They exceeded my expectations. Easy to put on, tighten and take off. Amazing traction for plowing deep snow with my F150. I highly recommend these chains.
The product came really fast and fit perfectly. The chains are nice and snug and the cams work amazingly to get the fit perfect. The vbars will be great for any ice.
I ordered these chains to help negotiate several miles of unmaintained dirt roads to my hunting camp. Winter conditions will range from solid ice to deep snow to rutted mud. I believe that these chains will handle all of it. Fit up and installation is simple. The cams really help to get a sung fit. etrailer's web site made the selection of the correct size easy. Just be sure to check your owner's manual to verify chains like this are appropriate for your vehicle. Overall, I would recommend these to anyone needing aggressive traction on variable road conditions.
The tire chains that I purchased arrived quickly. They are well made, and easy to install. The cam system makes tightening the chains very easy. I would highly recommend purchasing these chains from etrailer.
Great chains, used 4 of them very hard last year. I broke one of the cross chains on one side which I can repair but have been rough on them. They make all the difference for 1-2 feet of snow. The cam locking system is really nice. They fit the very biggest tire for that chain with 1-2 links left. Wouldn’t go out of recommended size.
Used a pair of these on my 4x4 Tundra last November on a hunting trip in the western Maine mountains. The logging roads were a sheet of glare ice covered with a few inches of snow. Other trucks were spinning and sliding into the ditch. With my v-bar chains I didn't spin, skid or slip even a little bit. Not even when hard braking on the steep hills. Very impressed! Highly recommended! The cams are great but I would still recommend using the optional rubber tensioners.
I bought chains and rubber tensioners. Be sure to get tensioner! The chains were delivered very quickly. Packed in a very sturdy box. I unpacked them and practiced installing them on my 2005 4Runner with 265/70/17 tires. No problem putting them on. First time I used chains with cams. They made installation a snap. We live in Colorado. I got them a couple of days before a snow storm. We got hit with 16” of snow so I was able to try the chains right away. We live on a hill. I drove without the chains first and then installed the chains so I could make a comparison. Without the chains on mud and snow tires I was slipping around and almost got stuck. I was in 4WD with the center differential locked. I installed the chains (glad I practiced) and was able to drive the hill in 4WD hi with the center differential unlocked. This was a great buy at a great price!
2018 Chevy Silverado 3500 TC2828CAM w/ TCMA3 Rubbers (Heavy Trucks) Just received items and installed 1st time after watching video. Took 15 min in garage for dry run. Installed as video directed. Was an easy install considering that I am 65 yr old. Decided on these instead of cables for their longevity and safety. Don’t want a failure while driving. Very happy and impressed with these.
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. Thank You for your Professionalism at etrailer
Nice chains. However I had to add a link to make them fit. Your spec sheet said they will fit my size tires but they were a bit short. I made them work. And before you ask. I have been installing chains on vehicles for 40 years so I am an experienced chain user. Perhaps you should add a few extra links to your product line. Thanks
Great value. Very easy to install. I did it up in the mountains before a steep section of trail. I used the rubber tensioners and it was super easy. Seems like price has gone up though; still a good value.
You have great products at very good prices. Your delivery estimate has always been accurate chains like this would cost 50% more locally. I very pleased with your service. We’ve bought a fifth wheel hitch and these chains this year. We will buy from you again.
The vehicle fit confirmation is great to see on the website. Chains came as ordered and fit well, easy to install and tighten with the cam system. I have ordered from eTrailer before with the same experience. Can't beat the customer service. I definitely recommend.
I received my snow chains 2 days after ordering them online. They fit fine. Of all the websites that came up etrailer was the only one that asked me for my tire size. I also ordered a rubber chain tightener but it was the wrong size. I called customer support and they are sending me the correct one but I had to pay again. They will let me know by email if they want the wrong tensioner back. I was told I would get a credit on my card. They seemed to handle the mixup and i would use them again.
Well made.removed one cross link and enough side links to fit ny tire size. Arrived 3 days after ordering.should get the job done
Great fit, easy to put on and take off. Traction is very good. Would have given a five star but the bag they came in leaves a lot to be desired.
Received the chains quicker than expected. Easy to install in the garage on a dry warm day.! Should be reasonably easy to install when needed in the snow. FORD recommends no chains for your pick up. However, etrailer demonstrated that they can be used, I appreciate the extra effort they went through. Always need chains in the mountains during hunting season.
I like these Titan Chains with the cams. They tighten up very easy and work very well.I would recommend them to anybody that needs very good chains.
Im quite impressed for the price. These chains will surely make snow plowing easier on my truck and i cant imagine getting stuck on slippery icy driveways with these chains installed.
This will be a second pair of chains for my truck. When the snow is real deep I chain all 4 wheels. This works super. Super service same day shipping.
The chains are great, even though I only used once. I upgraded my tires and now I need another set for my bigger tires.
