These chains mean business when the snow piles up. Each link is square and grooved, so it cuts deeper than standard square or round links to grip ice, deep snow, and slush. The ladder pattern gives steady traction as you drive forward, keeping you moving in tough winter conditions when tires alone just spin.
When you’re out in the cold, the last thing you want is a fight with loose chains. With these, you just twist the built-in cams to pull the chain tight around the tire. The assisted tensioning setup makes it easy to snug them down securely. For an even tighter fit, you can add rubber adjusters (sold separately).
These chains are built from nickel manganese alloy steel that’s case hardened for strength and corrosion resistance. The reversible design lets you flip them over when one side wears down, doubling their life. It’s a solid setup that holds up to repeated winter use without giving up durability.
Made for wide-base and super-single tires, this set gives serious traction where it matters most. You can count on the grip and stability that keep big tires steady on snowy roads. Each set includes two chains and is ready to handle deep snow driving or work in tough winter conditions.
These chains fit the following tire sizes:

Adam: Hi, everyone. Adam with etrailer.com. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Pewag Square Link Snow Tire Chains, with cam tensioners. So these chains are going to be designed for some of those more wide and thick tires that you may have, and it is going to give you an extremely aggressive grip. So it is kind of like a ladder patterned-style with these square links. They're going to wear evenly, and they're all made of the same material, which is a manganese nickel alloy steel.
So it's going to resist against that rust and corrosion and all of that salt that's on the road when there's snow. Also, it does have some cam tensioners. They're really, really easy to do and it just makes it very easy to install, because we all know if you're putting these on, you're either stuck or in some cold situations. So making it really easy to put these on is definitely a plus for me.So these square links are going to be about 5.6 mm in width. So it's going to be pretty big.
And with this cross chain pattern as well, it's going to give you about 32% more traction, compared to some of the other ones in this market.So these aren't the most aggressive chains that we get for these tires. We do have some V-Bar ones that are going to be a lot more aggressive. They're going to have more like daggers sticking out. They're going to grip a lot better, but they're going to wear a little bit more. Also, there's some twist links that we have.
It's not going to be as aggressive as our square links here, but they're going to ride a little bit smoother as well.But all of these are going to come in a pack of two. So if you have four wheel drive applications or all wheel drive, just go ahead and use our fit guide on our website, and just type in your tire size and just grab two pair.We do also recommend just grabbing one of these rubber tensioners. It does not come with your kit, but we do sell them here at etrailer.com, so it's the one stop shop.Well everyone, that's just about it for our look at the Pewag Square Link Snow Tire Chains, with cam tensioners.

Five stars! Excellent customer service and shipping was early!
They tracked the order every step of the way. Very informative the second you place a order. Great customer service! Product is perfect, can’t wait to try them out next storm
I had never worked with this company and I needed tire chains for our tractor. I went online, ordered them and they were delivered before the estimated time of arrival. I will certainly use this company again.
These are great tire chains, love them for the plowing!
Pewag products are top of the line and not for the faint of heart. We run Pewag chains on our
Firedepartment loader and now on my new Bronco...
I ordered this set based on the recommendation from Jameson as to the benefits of the brand and set of chains. Ordered with three day shipping as I was leaving town and the chains arrived in one day. Haven't tried them yet as they are mostly need to carry this time of year.
Easy to install and great traction in ice and deep snow. Would definitely buy again!
These are great chains! They do give you a rather rough ride but I expect that from any square link snow chain. They grip great and are very strong.
Great product - just what I was looking for - I bought from another site online, bad chains, broke, and didn't work, even damaged my ABS lines when they snapped. They refused any customer service or help. Your chains, received quick and they went right on, no issues - thanks so much for your quick and timely shipping.
I did the research & I am VERY HAPPY with my decision to buy these snow chains. My tires are 35x12.5x18. The quality & looks are great. These chains will be last ones for my truck! Best Prices Here (etrailer.com)
Excellent traction on snow and ice. Heavy duty textured square chains. Only the best for my 14,000# Mitsubishi Fuso FG 4x4.
These are top quality chains.
They are made of alloy rather than low carbon steel; which can break when you most need them, and even damage your rig.
Do yourself a favor, and invest in good quality USA made chain. Think about it. If you need chains, you are already in a bad situation to begin with. Spend the extra money to buy real chains. It's worth it.
The square link works very good on ice and snow, and also works great as mud chains for outdoorsman who spend time in the wilderness.
I ordered the Pewag wide base tire chains on Sunday and they arrived on Wednesday. The chains are all they were said to be. High quality American made. Tire chains are a tool you hope you never need, but are invaluable when you do need them. I plan on using them on my wide profile tires on my F-350. A local municipality uses them on their plow truck all winter. The Pewags have lasted five seasons while lesser brands require replacement after one season.
Ordered chains on a Fri afternoon (Pacific Time) and was a little concerned about delivery before my trip the following Thu. Pleasantly surprised to receive a response later that Friday evening that order was processed and already on its way. Chains arrived the following Tuesday with standard shipping. Didn't end up needing to use chains on my trip to Mammoth but glad I have them and the order processing by etrailer was excellent.
The chains fit our Wrangler Rubicon well, and are really substantially built. I like the cam tensioners. I might add a rubber tension too just to keep everything tight when driving. Really appreciate the quick delivery!
These are by far the BEST tire chains I've ever owned. These are for plowing in Maine winter, and these chains are massive! Talk about high quality and super heavy duty!
I put them on with ease. Fitment is perfect.
If you want the best chains on the market, get pewag. The camlock tool is equally heavy duty, big & strong.
I'm very happy with these awesome chains. Nothing's indestructible, but these certainly feel like it.
Bought these tire chains for my Ford F-350. Had some days last winter when the driveway below the hill was all ice and plowing would be impossible without chains.
Perfect fit, easy installation and those cam locks are awesome for a tight fit.
2nd set of the Pewag tire chains I purchased here in the last four years. Loved the first set, still use them here in Wisconsin and Montana. Needed to purchase another set to fit some larger oversized tires. Amy helped me out deciding which chains would best fit my needs and I still can't believe how fast she turned the order around and had them at my house the day before I was leaving for Montana. Can't get better service than that.
Quality product and quick shipping. A+++
Fits perfect and easy to install!!
These Pewag chains are VERY heavy duty and seem to be well made and strong. The cam tighteners will make adjusting chains easier.
Service from etrailer was very helpful in getting the correct size for tires and vehicle, and the chains were shipped quickly.
Awesome HD tire chains for on or off road use! 12" of snow and or compacted ice...
Chains worked as designed. We use them in our trips to our farms in Montana and Wyoming when roads are open of course. Truck and trailer do not slip or fish tail.
Pewag always has been the standard for chains that are designed to do the work when you have to get work done. The fit was as expected you just have to tie back the tails on the inside where they don’t hit the strut tower. A couple of zip ties works
Thanks Tim for the help
Shipping was extremely fast , received my order in 2 days . Chains are high quality and should last a long time. Bought these for all 4 tires of my ‘01 Ford F-350 , tires are BFG All Terrains Lt285-75-R16. They fit perfectly, will probably be cutting 2 links off of the backside where the two ends hook together. The chains came.2 per sack with a cam tightening tool in each sack. I modified the tool to make it easier to use when your hands are frozen.
