Highlights

- Quick Cam Tightening: Built-in cams twist tight to secure chains fast without extra tools.

- Tough Alloy Strength: Nickel manganese steel resists corrosion and stays strong in harsh winter use.
- Ready for Mud or Snow: Ladder pattern keeps you moving forward through deep snow or slick muck.
Features to know about
Confident Climbing on Snow and Ice: Grooved Square Links Bite Hard
When steep snowy roads or icy driveways try to stop you, these grooved square links dig in and keep you moving. The ladder pattern lays out solid traction with each forward roll, cutting through snow, ice, and even mud. You get grip where it counts, with the added stability that helps when climbing grades or crossing slick stretches.
Spend Less Time Adjusting Chains: Built-In Cams Simplify Tensioning
Getting chains snug around your tires doesn’t need to be a struggle. The integrated cams let you twist them tight with the included wrench until the fit is firm. No need to wrestle or drive back and forth. If you want an extra secure fit, rubber adjusters (sold separately) can be added for peace of mind on longer drives.
Keep Driving Season After Season: Reversible Links Extend Chain Life
These chains are built to last. Each link can be flipped and used on either side, so when one side starts to wear, you just reverse the chain and keep going. That smart design doubles the usable life of the set, giving you more miles of winter traction before replacement.
Built to Handle Harsh Winter Use: Nickel Manganese Alloy Steel Construction
Heavy snow, ice, and road grit can chew through ordinary chains, but not these. Made from nickel manganese alloy steel, they’re resistant to wear and corrosion. The case-hardening process toughens the outer layer while keeping the core strong and flexible. It’s a setup designed to take the pounding of deep snow and icy runs without giving up.
Ready for a Range of Tires: Fits 15"–22" Sizes
If you run larger tires or switch between setups, these chains have you covered. They’re sized to fit a wide range of tires from 15" up to 22", giving you traction versatility across multiple rigs or wheel combinations when winter hits.

Note
- Important: To determine whether you can use snow chains on your vehicle, or if they might affect your ABS/EPS functionality, consult your owner's manual.
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.

Customer service was beyond expectations. I received the incorrect chains and once I notified etrailer of the issue they immediately corrected it and I was on the road within a few days with new chains. Pewag quality remains and now my work truck and personal rig are outfitted the right way. Thanks!

Pewag PWE2228SC chains are nothing fancy. Good old traditional design. Came in a canvas bag with no closure. Successfully mounted them on P165/70R17 tires. Have not tested them in real-life snowy conditions. After chains are on, should drive vehicle 1/4 to 1/2 tire revolution, then tighten chain hooks further. Adding additional tension cords almost a must. Picture shows chain loosening at 6 o'clock and 7 o'clock positions after driving only a few feet. Consider adding threaded chain link to tie down extra free links to prevent them from flopping around when driving. Flopping chains are know to cut brake and ABS lines and cause other damage to the vehicle, especially if chains are installed on front tires. Thule XG12 Pro may be a better choice for front tires, because nothing flops around on the medial side of chains.

So far, these chains look like they will deliver. I wanted something better than a cable chain that only lasts one storm. In my local, we typically get freezing rain with temperatures in the 30's. These should be good on ice. Installation was fairly easy and the cam tensioners pulled the chains tight. I also ordered the chain tensioning bungie.

Haven't used on the road yet, since luckily I didn't encounter snow/ice on my recent drive... but did try on. Their etrailer web site clearly specified what size of tires the chains fit and the details of the specific chain models, like type U. The Sprinter manual specified type U chains. Delivery was per their commitment. Fit is good and triple cam method seems that it will work well to keep the chains snug on the tires. The only thing that seems that could be improved, is the cams are tightened and loosened with a supplied L shaped tool. If this was a T shaped tool, this would allow better leverage to be applied to the cams. Thanks

Am glad to have these chains just in case and for the trips through the mountains :) They are very high quality, Pewag is the best for chains, whether for snow tire or security.. I bought a cheaper set (A different brand) a few years back from one of your local auto parts stores, one of the links broke the first day I used it, very low quality.. Sometimes it is a bummer upfront paying the higher cost for quality, but in the long run it is always worth it.. These Pewag chains can not be beat.. You can tell they built these to last, very strong and durable. The old chains I had might as well have been mesh wire compared to these bad boys.. Plus before I ordered I looked up the Versatility so these chains fit my 4runner now and they should fit my dream Land Cruiser that I am hoping to buy in a few years.
I am always very impressed with ordering from Etrailer.. They are always very helpful, professional and seem to actually care about their customers; which many businesses seem to not anymore.. They ship quickly and I always seem to get what I ordered faster than I think it will take. Prices are very reasonable, People are great to work with. The way they run their business is the way it should be ran. I am very happy with this company and am glad to buy products from them, I always love helping supporting companies that do such a wonderful job at what they specialize in! You guys should carry the Pewag security chain as well. Thanks again!

I bought the chains, the Titan chain adjuster #TCMA3 and the cam tightening tool and all work great. The chains fit my 245 60/R20 tires just as expected. I used the drape over method to test out the chains, but I would probably try to roll onto them in practice because the tire is so big, there's some space between cross chains when I brought the ends together. I could probably just drive a bit and then retighten them.

Normally don’t write reviews like this, but making an exception in this case. I ordered this set of Pewag chains on a Sunday evening and had them in my possession the following Wednesday morning. The quality of the chains are excellent, but the quality of the service I received was exceptional! I cannot remember the last time I received customer service like this? I received a personal phone call regarding my order and emails updating me of its progress. Even received an email after delivery making sure I was happy! Makes me want to complete another purchase! THANK YOU!!!

These chains are excellent. Made in USA from what appears to be an Austrian company. This size fit a 2019 lX570 very well. 275/50-21 Way easier to install and more traction than cable chains.

Nice Chains---The chains we received were for a light truck. The tires we have are P215 70R15 and the chains do not fit. We need 2 more links to make them even come close to closing. We have the truck in the garage in ideal conditions--but if we were out on the road---this is impossible. Sent an e-mail to e-trailers and waiting for a response. Also, 2 of the side links have been put on backwards from the factory.

I double checked the Pewag fit guide and your tire size calls for this chain. We will be in touch to request photos of the backwards links and follow up with you about getting you properly fitting chains.

- Snow Chain Recommendation for Tire Size 295/65R20We have great tire chain solutions that fit your 295/65R20 but actually both chains you mentioned do not fit so you would need to go a different route. The most similar option would be the pewag Tire chains part # PWE2226SC which are priced about the same and actually would be a longer lasting option based on it being made from a harder metal and also being reversible.
