These Titan Chain heavy-duty, diamond-pattern chains are outstanding winter weather chains if you live in an area where you're likely to get frequent deep snow and ice. The diamond pattern gives you consistent traction - even in turns and stops - and the thick, square links provide excellent grip in mud, snow, and ice. And the built-in tensioners make for fast and easy installation. If you're more likely to see seriously icy conditions, you may want a chain with V-bar links that can really bite into the ice to give you maximum traction.

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. You'll also need to know how much clearance is in your wheel well, which you can determine by measuring from your tire tread to the sidewall of the wheel well.

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.

Installing Tire Chains

Installing these chains is incredibly simple.

1. Lay out the chains on the ground to make sure there are no twists or kinks.
2. Drape the chain over the top of the tire and tuck it as far under the wheel as possible.
3. Drive in reverse about half a tire rotation.
4. On the back of the tire, pull the chain tight and hook the ends together. Repeat this on the front of the tire, securing the side chain with the lever.
5. Feed the tensioning chain back through the O-rings along the side chain, then stretch the tensioning hook and attach it to the side chain directly across from the last O-ring you ran the tensioning chain through. The hook should face away from your tire.
6. Pull your vehicle forward 2-3 vehicle lengths and recheck the tension.

How to Choose Snow Chains for Your Vehicle

To choose the right snow chain, you must match your tire size. Those measurements can be found on the side of your tire, as shown below.

185/60-15

1. (185) - indicates tire width in millimeters
2. (60) - gives you the aspect ratio (sidewall height as percentage of width)
3. (15) - denotes the diameter of the wheel rim in inches
