When snow piles up or the road gets slick, these chains come alive. The rounded twist links form solid cross chains that dig in for excellent traction in deep snow while still giving you an adequate grip on ice. The twist design also smooths out the ride, cutting down on the harsh jolts that come with square or V-bars of the same size. You’ll get the forward bite needed to move up steep grades and the control to stop safely on downhill stretches.
Getting rolling from a stop in heavy snow or slush can be tricky. The ladder pattern on these chains gives you strong, consistent traction for starting and stopping. That design keeps your tires pulling straight ahead instead of spinning out. It’s a reliable setup that works especially well for climbing grades or keeping control when braking on icy roads.
Getting chains snug on your tires doesn’t have to be a struggle. The built-in cams let you twist each one with the included wrench to pull the chains tight and even around your tires. Once tensioned, they stay secure without constant readjusting. For extra hold, you can add optional rubber or chain adjusters (sold separately).
Winter roads can chew up gear fast, but these chains are built to last. Each link is made from low-carbon steel for strength and durability through repeated use. The 0.281" (7.1 mm) thick links give solid bite without bending or snapping under load. They’re designed for use on one axle, fitting either wide-base tires or dual tires on one side, and they come with a reusable canvas storage bag to keep them ready for the next storm.
Whether you’re heading through mountain passes or driving rural snow routes, these chains are a dependable backup for when traction disappears. They’re rated for speeds up to 30 mph and include two chains for both driver’s and passenger’s sides. When snow or ice hits hard, this set gives you the confidence to keep moving instead of getting stuck.
These chains fit the following tire sizes:

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.
Product is awesome. Top quality. Delivered as promised.
Easy to install and built very well
Great customer service!
Excellent service. Hope they fit and that I never have to find out.
At arrival, pulled out 1 and tried on my spare tire. With some adjustment. Fit was perfect. Haven't used in actual situation needing them.
Snow chains are a product that we hope we never get to use, but if they need to be used it’s great to have them. We went to Riadosa New Mexico for a three day stay last year. The second day we were in a snowstorm that was the hardest hit for Riadosa. I wound up being the only person in our group that could move, and the snow chains were one of the main reasons, thanks Etrailer.
I haven’t had a chance to test these chains out yet, but I will say that they look and feel like they’re good quality. I also want to say thank you to those at etrailer who helped sort out my shipping problem when the shipping company failed to deliver the first time. You guys offer amazing customer service, thank you.
