If you've driven in bad winter weather, then there's no doubt you've experienced the unsettling feeling of your vehicle sliding during turns or bends in the road. Conquer turns and winding country roads with these cable chains from Titan Chain. The diagonal pattern provides better traction during turns than traditional ladder patterns, and because there is always a cable in contact with the ground, it will increase your stopping power too. You won't have to worry about finding the right tensioners either - tensioners designed specifically for these cables are included, ensuring a tight fit.
If you need a little extra traction in the snow, these cables are great. But if you live somewhere where you experience heavy snow often, you'll definitely want something more heavy duty than cables. Because these cable chains are lightweight and don't take up a lot of storage space, they are also perfect for keeping in your trunk if you occasionally travel through areas that require you to have chains on hand.
SAE Class S tire chains are designed for use on passenger vehicles with restricted wheel-well clearance. Most newer cars, vans, and small trucks - especially those with large aftermarket tires - will require Class S chains. If you're unsure about the class of your vehicle, consult your vehicle's user manual.
These chains will fit your tires provided there is both:
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. Even low-profile 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 these chains is simple.
1. Lay out the chains on the ground to make sure there are no twists or kinks.
2. Slide the chain behind the tire and connect the ends of the rear cable.
3. Around front, slide the cable at the top of your tire through the corresponding eye hook. Repeat at the bottom of the tire.
4. Pull the cable as tight as you can, then clip the included rubber adjuster onto the cable in a star pattern. Make sure the hooks on the adjuster face away from your tire so your wheels don't get scratched.

Now, that I've gone through these features, let's show you how we install.The first thing you want to do is lay out your cable chains flat, and you want to make sure there is no kinks, twists or tangles. When installing your cable chains, you want to make sure that this open side right here, is facing away from your tire, as well as on these brackets right here, you want to make sure the side that says, tire side is facing up off the ground. Once you've done all your checks, we can go ahead and slide them behind the tire until we get to this open side.Once you've got it up to that open side, you can go and just pull your cables out, and line them up with your tire. Now, we're going to bring our cables up on our tire, like so, on both sides. You're going to want to hold it there until you get the other one up.
Once you get both sides up, and the back we're going to go ahead and make our connection back there.Once you've done that, we can come to the front and make our next connection where these notches that come through this black bracket right here. If you can get both notches through, and lock them in, then go ahead and do that.Now we'll go ahead and do the same thing on the bottom, but there's only one notch so you don't have to worry about that. Now we can take our included tensioner and begin to make our attachments, making sure that the hooks come from behind the cable, like so.Once you've done all this, just repeat the process for the other side. Once you've done both chains, you want to make sure you drive forward a bit and then stop and get out, and make any adjustments if you need to. And, there you have it for the Titan Change Diagonal Alloy Cable Snow Tire Chains on our 2013 Volkswagen Jetta..
