When you’re climbing a snowy grade or breaking through 6–12 inches of powder, these ladder-pattern chains dig in to keep traction steady. The rounded twist links form cross chains that grab snow and ice without the harsh jolting of square links, giving you smoother forward motion with plenty of grip for starts and stops.
No one wants to fight with loose chains in freezing wind. The built-in cam tighteners make it simple to pull everything snug so the chains stay centered while you drive. Just twist the cams with the included wrench, and you’ll have a firm wrap that holds tight even after a few miles. For an even more locked-in feel, you can add optional rubber or chain adjusters.
Made from durable low-carbon steel, each 0.218" (5.5 mm) thick link is built to handle repeated use on icy roads. The sturdy construction resists wear and keeps its shape under load so you can depend on it season after season.
Each chain is designed to fit around a wide-base tire or the dual tires on one side of a truck’s rear axle. That’s a big help when you need traction across both tires without juggling multiple sets. With a 30 mph maximum speed rating and two chains included for one axle, you’re ready to handle winter’s worst with confidence.
When the snow clears, the reusable canvas bag keeps your chains organized and easy to grab next time the weather turns. It’s a simple extra that helps you stay prepared without the clutter.
These chains fit the following tire sizes:

Hi, everyone. It's Evangeline here at etrailer. And today, we'll be taking a look at our Titan Chains snow with tire chains with the twist links that are designed for your dual tires right here at etrailer. For your duallies or for your trucks to have those dual tires, it's ideal to get those tire chains that's designed for them. That way, you have that extra traction all throughout your axle. So, this is gonna be a tire chain that fits around those two tires.
It's going to be similar in design to the single tire chain but with an extra feature, which is gonna be a third connection that goes through the tires. While there's a bunch of different tire chains for different situations, in this video, I'll explain the differences between those different tire chains' designs. And I'll also show you a special trick that I do in order to install that third connection, which can be tricky for those dual trucks. But first off, let's talk about this twist design we have here. Notice how these chains are twist chains, meaning they're twisted into each other.
That provides a little extra comfort compared to square chains of a similar shape, but they also are super useful if you have a lot of deep snow as well as a lot of mud. Now, if you're expecting a bit more ice than you are expecting snow, what you might prefer then are square chains or these twist chains but then they have a V-bar or cleats on the end. So, we have those here at etrailer as well. That way, you can get your different chains depending on the different types of weather conditions you're expecting. Now, these are going to be made of a low-carbon steel.
And the focus there is going to be grip as well as durability. So, as you're driving around, the carbon steel will help with the ice as well as with the rocks and give you that traction. Now, some other tire chains use a manganese nickel alloy and those are more focused on corrosion resistance. So, in that case, if you are using chains like these made of low-carbon steel, I do recommend just double checking them in between seasons before you put them on your tire to make sure they have not corroded. There's actually two types of these tire chains.
One has a twist link without cam tensioners. And the other one, which is this one, has the twist link with cam tensioners. So, this gives you that extra traction as you install your tire chain. And you also have these extra rubber tensioners too. So, these are sold separately. Not included with your tire chain. I highly recommend getting them though, because as you drive around and if your chains start to shift, this will shift with them and maintain the constant tension. So, when you get your chains, you are going to get two of these canvas bags. So, these canvas bags are technically reusable, but not as long-lasting as a soft shell or a hard shell some other tie chains come in. So, when you do put your chains in there, you can use a rubber band or a zip tie to keep it nice and tight. Now, this is still helpful for keeping it in your truck for whenever you need to use it. You're also going to get this cam tightener. So, this is the tool that you use for your cams in order to loosen or tighten them down. But I also use this to make the connection in between our tires. Let's take a look at that trick. So, compared to your single tire chains, your dual tire chains need to make three connections. So, one and two for the front and the back, and the new one is going to be the third, which goes in between your tire. So, this can be pretty tricky. Sometimes you're gonna have to drive over it and then reach around your tires, or put the chains on and then drive. But what I do so I don't have to drive back and forth is I utilize the tool that comes with the your tire chains that have those cam tensioners. So, what I do is I put the link that needs to be connected right over your cam tensioner and use this to feed it through your tires. So, using the tool, just pull the chains through and then you can connect the other hook. So, you still may wanna drive over your chains and then go out and make those connections, but this is gonna be a nice and easy way to do this if you're stuck in one spot. And that right there was a look at the Titan Chains snow tire chains with the twist links for your dual tires. And these also have those cam tensioners right here at etrailer..

Hi, just had a chance to fit my chains, they fit great! The tensioners were also great! Thank you to Kelly for answering a few questions and taking my order.I do some ice fishing & the chains will help getting our ice house off the lake when situations change! Thanks again!
Purchased this for our trip to Alaska. Never had to use them but it was nice to have them just in case. Before we left I installed one and found it easy to install.
Ordered some vbar chains and the company contacted me the next day to let me know they were back ordered a month. I needed a set of chains to have in case things hit the fan in the mountains. They talked me into ordering another less aggressive set that were in stock. Standard shipping was delayed to to winter weather by ups so they showed up 3 days later. Tried them on that night and they fit like any other cam chain I've used. Install is less then 2 minutes if you know what you are doing. They appear to be stainless so I hope they don't rust after my first use like a pair of chains I bought from a different company. I would buy from etrailer again and am waiting on the vbar set to be delivered. If you need chains in a 4x4 truck you are probably stuck already and if no one else is around, you will want the vbars.
Quick shipping.... good service.... great product! I found hard to find chains for my tire size 285/65/20 for my ram 3500.... they fit very nicely on tires....bring on the snow and mud!
Chains fit real good and were easy to install on my 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee, just had to make sure chains were on correctly and also tight so it wouldn’t scratch rims when tires spin. When it came to using the chains on snow and icy roads they got the job done. I recommend this product.
I test fit them today when they came in. Now I know where exactly to place them so the clamp isn't hitting the rim, as seen in the photo.They are heavy duty and bigger than my previous set. Also, to anyone interested in these, make sure to get heavy duty tie-straps to bind the end of the chain to itself so it is not flapping and smacking your shocks.I will do another review in a couple of months after using these in the mountains.
Well designed. Installs easily in minutes. Where were cams 20 years ago? :)
Love these chains! I have a Jeep JK with 285/70 17s on and I run these all the way around for snow jeeping. The tensioning "doughnuts" are awesome and I have yet to throw a chain, even when romping on it hard. My buddy with a 4-Runner bought vbar chains without the doughnuts and threw them quickly on our last run, while mine ran flawlessly.
Bought two sets of these chains for my 2018 Ram 2500. My tires are LT285/60R20 and these chains fit like a charm.
Very easy to get onto the vehicle and off of it. Takes about 15 minutes to put on all 4 tires by myself.
Used these in northern NH for a hunting trip. We had about 18-inches of snow on the ground and we traveled logging roads the whole time. These chains got my trunk up a 45° incline covered in fresh 18" of snow. I was amazed that we weren't sliding all over the place. These things grab the snow/ice like claws.
I've recommended these chains to other folks because they are great. They are HEAVY chains, I think about 20+ pounds each. But they are serious chains for serious conditions.
Very, VERY happy with these chains.
etrailer shipping was very fast, ordered on a Friday morning, shipped the same day and recieved on Tuesday of following week (3 working days). Installed on tires, perfect fit. I drove around 2 miles to see how they worked, done what they were suppose to. My only disappointment was "made in China", other than that I am happy with the purchase. Installed on a 2016 Ram 2500HD with 285/60R/20
Thank you etrailer for the fast shipping.i could have never made it home to our property after this last snow and ice storm. You guys/gals have come through on every order I have placed. Thanks again, I will be doing future business with your company.
Have let used them yet but customer service is awesome !
Perfect fit for my truck tires. The cam lock makes adjustment easy and gives me the confidence needed for the upcoming winter season.
Good tire chains for the price. I use them on all 4 wheels of my plow truck 6 months out of the year. Turns my truck into a tractor. Make sure you zip tie or cut off any excess chain at the adjuster on the inside so you don't tear up your brake hoses. Take your time fitting them. Put them on evenly, drive slowly around your driveway, readjust. Drive again slowly around your driveway, readjust. I like to put my tire pressures down to 20lbs when I put them on, then air them up after. Makes for a nice tight fit. Just takes one rotation with something loose to end whatever you're doing. Tons of damage if they come loose. Ask me how I know =P Take your time, you'll love them.
Arrived on time and were nicely packaged in cloth bags for storage.
Would recommend 5/5
Haven't used them, hope I never have to. But they fit, and I'm happy.
This is my second set of Titan chains for a different vehicle. They are great and easy to install.
etrailer is the best! Great service without drama!
Excellent product and outstanding customer service! Thank you.
I have ordered twice from etrailer and both have been perfect.
I apologize for not having pictures. I just opened my tire chains and installed on 1 wheel just to make sure it fits. Perfect. I can’t honestly give 5 stars because I have only installed them but not drove with them. I expect good results though. The cams were a first for me but appear as if they will make tightening easy. I installed the 1 chain a night in only a few minutes with my 9 year old son holding the flashlight. I recommend that you familiarize yourself with installation before an emergency. I am well pleased with the product.
Awesome delivery. As soon as they arrived, I decided to dry fit them as a practise for when I have to use them in anger. At first the end connector on the cam side was difficult to figure out because of the way the locking mechanism was positioned, but once you have it swinging freely, it becomes obvious how it secures to the end of the chain. In all it took me only a couple of minutes to install and I am very happy with how the cams tighten and pull it all nice and tight.
I know the chains are designed to fit different sizes of tire, but a helpful guide would be to advise how many surplus chain links need cutting off to make the optimal fit for your specific tire. Once I had dry installed the chains, it was obvious that I needed to hack some of the links off. Once the links were removed, the chain ends secured to the correct end link on both sides and I don't have to worry about tucking away the danglers, which could damage my rim or bodywork.
Another useful guide to include, would be a YouTube link or hyperlink for the installation video. I know it returns a hit on a Google search, but still a nice touch.
