When traction disappears on a steep climb or a snow-covered road, these ladder-pattern chains keep you moving. The cross chains give steady forward bite so starts and stops feel controlled, even in heavy accumulation. The twist-link design adds grip while keeping the ride smoother than sharp-edged square links.
Driving on ice or frozen gravel can make a vehicle bounce and shake. The rounded twist links on these chains help cut down on that harsh vibration. You still get solid traction for icy patches, but with less jolting through the steering wheel and seat. It’s a balance between comfort and control that makes long winter drives easier.
Snow, salt, and frozen slush are tough on metal, but the low-carbon steel construction of these chains stands up to that abuse. Each 0.312" (7.9 mm) link resists bending and wear, keeping the chains dependable through repeated use. They’re rated for speeds up to 30 mph and designed to handle one full axle with chains for both driver and passenger sides.
Loose chains can slip or come undone when backing up or hitting rough sections. With these, you control the tension manually, so there are no cams to pop open. Add rubber or chain adjusters (sold separately) for an even tighter fit, and you’ll have a setup that stays snug through deep snow and uneven terrain.
When winter ends, the reusable canvas bag makes it simple to pack up and store your chains. No more tangled piles of metal in the garage—just a clean, organized way to keep them ready for next season’s snow.
These chains fit the following tire sizes:

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.
Ratings & Reviews
Outstanding customer service and extremely fast shipping. I always come to etrailer.com for my Ford Super Duty F350.
The best!
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.
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!
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
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.
Good product, good price. Easy transaction and shipping was reasonably fast. The tire chains fit and work well, not much else to say.
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
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.
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.
Have not used yet but chains appear to be of good quality.
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
fit - not used yet
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
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.
Delivery was quick and on the day promised. Haven't used the tire chains yet so cannot provide feedback on them.
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.
Quality seems good, fit is perfect. We will see how they hold up to pulling the horses this fall.
/Box came apart but that is what is expected on tire chains.-All good -Great service!
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
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
