  • Built to Last: Low-carbon steel resists wear for repeated winter or off-road use.

  • Ready for Any Route: Works on and off road, covering both tires on one rear axle.

Features to know about

Keep Traction in Deep Snow and Mud: Twist Links Bite In Without the Jarring Ride

These chains really shine when the snow piles up or the road turns to ice. The rounded twist links grab into deep snow and mud to keep you moving forward, while the smooth profile means less jolting compared with square links of the same size. The ladder pattern gives strong forward pull for steady starts and stops even when traction is hard to find.

Stay Confident on Rough Terrain: No Cams to Come Loose in Reverse or Ruts

When you’re backing up or crossing uneven ground, you don’t want your chains coming undone. This setup skips the cam-style tensioners, so there’s nothing to pop open when you’re driving in reverse or crawling through rough terrain. For an even tighter fit, you can add rubber or chain adjusters (sold separately) to lock everything down securely.

Rely on Strength That Lasts: Low-Carbon Steel Handles Harsh Winter Use

Built from strong, low-carbon steel, these chains are made to handle the grind of winter driving. The links hold up against wear from ice and gravel, giving you dependable traction season after season. Each chain wraps around both tires on one side of your rear axle for full coverage, and when you’re done, they stash neatly in the reusable canvas bag.

Made for Real-World Winter Conditions: Fits 15"–20" Tires and Rated to 30 mph

Whether you’re tackling a steep, snowy driveway or heading down a frozen back road, these chains are built for real use. They fit tire sizes from 15" to 20" and carry a maximum speed rating of 30 mph. With a link thickness of 0.312" (7.9 mm), they’re tough enough to dig in when the weather turns bad while still giving a smooth, predictable ride.

Confirming Your Fit

If you know your tire size, you may think you won't need to test fit your new chains. But there are a lot of variables that can affect whether chains will fit your specific tires, including your tire type, the amount of air pressure in the tire, the amount of tread wear, and the tire manufacturer.

We recommend that you order chains as early in the season as possible to give yourself plenty of time to test fit the chains and reorder if needed. This way, you won't be stuck out in the cold later with snow chains that don't fit.

You can test fit these chains in your garage or driveway, but you'll want to wait until there's snow on the ground to actually drive with them. Likewise, if you're out in the snow and come across bare pavement, you'll want to pull over and remove the chains. These chains can cause damage to the bare pavement, your garage floor, or your vehicle if they break from the wear of riding on a harsh surface.

Video Transcript for Comprehensive Review: Titan Chain Snow Tire Chains for Wide Base and Dual Tires

Adam: What's going on, everybody Adam here with etrailer. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the line of Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains. So these chains are going to be for your wide-based tires or even some of your dual tires. These are going to have a low carbon construction, going to be extra hard, and they are going to wear away relatively evenly. It is going to take quite a bit, a couple of seasons, to start noticing that wear. But these twist links are going to get a really good traction, but it's also going to be a little bit smoother than some of those big, chunky square links that you may see.As you can tell here, it is a ladder-pattern style, so it isn't going to be as smooth as some of the less aggressive chains.

But we're looking for the best grip, and these are going to give you pretty much one of the better grips of the more aggressive style chain. But we're still going to get a decent ride, so it's definitely the best of both worlds in my opinion. We don't have any cam tensioners on this style chain, which some people like them, some people don't. Some people have been saying that sometimes they actually come undone whenever it's more thick, harder, icy snow, just because it kind of runs in and then undoes the cams. And also if you guys have the tool and you guys lose it, that might not necessarily be good.

So we won't have that issue here, but we will have to make sure and find our rubber tensioner, which we are going to need with these chains. But that's just one little thing. It's the same as just having to keep track of your cam tensioner tool.It does come in a canvas bag, not necessarily the best bag, but it definitely gets the job done. They both fit in there. That's pretty much what we're looking for.

But these don't necessarily wear. They don't really keep up over time, so after a while you might see them rip a little bit so you might have to go ahead and grab another bag. But they do come in a set of two. So for your two-wheel applications, you guys can just go ahead and grab one. But if you want to put them on all four of your tires, you can just go ahead and grab two.

We do not want to exceed 30 miles an hour, and that's pretty much it.Here's a rubber tensioner. This is what they look like. They're just on our website. If you guys just scroll down on the webpage, it should be in the related parts. It does not come with the kit, but it is a one-stop shop so you don't really have to go anywhere else. All we really need to do is just make sure that the hook is going to be facing the outside of our wheel. And then we just want to do our best to be as symmetrical as we can. This is just going to evenly distribute all of that force throughout the tensioner, which is just going to help it keep it nice and tight. But once we get all that hooked up, we do recommend rolling over them a couple of times, coming back out and then checking and make sure it's still nice and tight. If it is, ready to hit the road. Well, everyone, that just about does it for a look at the line of Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains.

Outstanding customer service and extremely fast shipping. I always come to etrailer.com for my Ford Super Duty F350.

The best!



by:

I received the tire chains I ordered on time. Just tried them on my vehicle and they fit exactly as predicted by the trailer web sit. Very satisfied. Now, I just hope I never need them.



by:

Product was bought for my ram 1500 4x4 I wanted a heavy duty set of chains for mud and snow and these chains did not disappoint very sturdy looking construction cant wait to try them out up on the mountain!



by:

Chains fit my Mazda CX-9 with 245/50/20 tires. I could get them almost to the tightest setting but they don't seem loose. Haven't actually driven in snow yet but see no reason why they wouldn't work great. Bought them as backup as the car is AWD. Shipping was fast and etrailer has always been wonderful about customer service.

Thanks,
Randy



by:

The first trip I used them on, one of the chains snapped and shredded the inside of my fender as well as some damage to the outside. I was willing to give benefit of a doubt that it was a one time fluke. Called and tried to return and/or exchange. etrailer.com wanted me to pay for the shipping back even though it was within the 30days of purchase. The shipping would of cost me more than half of what I paid for them. Even after a couple of customer care calls and emails, etrailer.com still refused to pay the shipping to exchange them.



by:

Good product, good price. Easy transaction and shipping was reasonably fast. The tire chains fit and work well, not much else to say.



by:

Just generally really good customer service, shipping and interactive options to manage your orders. I’ve ordered through this company several times and will continue to do so.
Thanks



by:

The tire chains arrived fast. Easy to put on. Have used them multiple times up in the mountains...deep snow, ice, and muddy slick clay. Excellent traction. It is great to be the truck that isn't sliding all over and getting stuck.



by:

Chain’s arrived quickly and I did a fit up and just right size for my tires (285-70-17) with no extra links to worry about.

Tensioners I ordered were wrong size. No fault of etrailer.

I have ordered from etrailer and have had no issues with them.



by:

Have not used yet but chains appear to be of good quality.



by:

I can't do a one year review, because the tire chains broke with 5 minutes of the first install.
They are still laying in the same spot in the scrap metal pile.
Cheap steel, weak cross links, overall a poor excuse for a heavy duty application, would not recommend



by:

fit - not used yet



by:

First time purchasing tire chains I must say this Titan product is pretty heavy duty I like the chrome finish I’m running a BFG all terrain 32x11.5 R15 the fit was perfect I would like to give a shout out to etrailer customer service team very professional & knowledgeable new exactly what chain was needed having provided lots of choices and option's that was important to me there shipping was very fast impressed caught me by surprise there communication was great keeping us informed the entire process they surely deserve this 5 star review thank you



by:

Great customer service, I would highly recommend etrailer for your next purchase.
Quick turn around between ordering and to my door step
Keep up the great work.



by:

Delivery was quick and on the day promised. Haven't used the tire chains yet so cannot provide feedback on them.



by:

I bought these to go hunting in Colorado. I haven't used them extensively, but they did fit my 2021 GMC ATR nicely and for a novice they seemed very straight forward to install. I would recommend purchasing the chain tensioners. You may want to cut the extra links off so they don't hit the rim. I just attached one of the tensioners to mine and it seemed to secure it.



by:

Quality seems good, fit is perfect. We will see how they hold up to pulling the horses this fall.



by:

/Box came apart but that is what is expected on tire chains.-All good -Great service!



by:

Good chains for the price. Used them about 6 X with out a problem. Be sure to get the rubber tensioners as they help a lot. Just a note and I'm pretty sure the e-trailer review said something about it but they are only good up to about 15 MPH not that you need to go that much faster but on a several mile trek back to the cabin it would be nice to do 30 or so..... the fact that they do their job is reason enough for four stars. If they would just install themselves.... bwahahaha



by:

Chains seem to be made top quality. Only test fit them so far with perfect fit on a 35x12.5 r18 tire. Hopefully I dont have to use them but the security of having them and knowing the quality and fit is great is worth it.



by:

Chains looked good. After watching installation video it was a breeze to put on. They fit perfect. I’m only testing them right now so when I need to use them I’ll be more comfortable. I drove 1:2 mile down & back and the chains hadn’t moved.



by:

I bought them just in case I need them on a trip I’m going on. I tried one on my tire and it fit really good.



by:

I bought a pair of twist link (TC3235) for my front tires and V-Bars (TC3835) for my rear tires, so writing a combined review. The V-Bars have more traction but my front end doesn't have as much clearance so I opted for the twist links in the front.  I've now used these offroad 4 times, and once briefly onroad during a major ice storm that left all of our roads with skating rink type ice.  
First - both chains fit 37" x 12.5 R18 tires perfectly.  This is despite the fitment not being listed on etrailer.com and the etrailer CS rep telling me they wouldn't fit.  The Titan catalogue / website does list 37x12.5R18. 
Second - two pair of chains *just* fit in a milwaukee packout "Compact Tool Box" (model No: 48-22-8422).  There isn't a wasted inch of space.  After using them, I dry them in my garage, then douse them in WD-40 before putting them back in the packout.  These chains are made from an alloy that prioritizes strength over corrosion resistance, so surface rust appears pretty quickly on them.  Be warned that lifting all four chains together is heavy.    
Third - They give amazing offroad traction.  The only way you're getting stuck is by getting high-centered.  You will not run out of traction if you have weight on your tires.  However, it is easy to get high centered when using these in the snow if you aren't careful.  Don't spin your tires, or your axles and frame rails will be holding the vehicle while your wheels hang in the air.  
Fourth - I would only recommend using these onroad in very limited circumstances. During an ice storm I had to get a neighbor to the hospital. We live on an extremely steep hill and the roads had 1" of clear ice on them.  With the chains it was like the ice wasn't there.  But the whole truck vibrated a lot.  And it probably prematurely wore the chains.  If I drove faster than ~15-20 mph it really rattled the truck.  (offroad in the snow I'll drive 40+ mph no problem with these.  but driving on hard surfaces causes a lot of vibration).



by:

The chains were used for an off road job to assist a 2WD truck with traction and performed perfectly. Very easy to install and remove. Customer service was very good as well.



by:

They worked great.
