Note: 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.
The pewag Snox Pro chains are great winter weather chains if you live in an area where you're likely to get periodic snow and ice. They're durable, give you constant traction - and they're lightweight and compact, so they store in your vehicle nicely too. 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.
With these chains, installation is a snap. There's no need to crawl around on the ground to make connections - just tug the chains around your tire to get them into place, and then drive off. The Snox will self-tension while you're driving to tighten perfectly around your tires. Once you stop driving, the tensioners release, making these chains equally simple and quick to pull off when you reach dry pavement.
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 owner's 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.
1. Grasp the red cord on each side of the self-tensioning device and pull outward to activate.
2. Position the red cord over your tire, pulling it to the back. Then tug the cord down to fit it around the bottom of the tire.
3. Drive forward 1/4 of a tire revolution, keeping your wheels straight.
4. Pull the rest of the chain around your tire so that the cross chains are positioned on top of the tire tread.
5. Once the chains are properly positioned, drive forward. The Snox Pro chains will automatically tighten and center themselves as you drive. No manual adjustment is necessary.
The tensioners automatically disengage when your car comes to a stop. To remove the chains, you can simply pull them off, or you can press the quick-release latch, which provides more slack in the chains to allow even faster removal.
Quick Tips:
To choose the right snow chain, you must match your tire size. Those measurements can be found on the side of your tire.

Adam: What's going on everybody. Adam here with etrailer. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Pewag Snox Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chain. What we have here is a relatively unique tire chain. They are going to be made of the same materials as most. Just a manganese nickel alloy steel construction.
We are going to have a diamond pattern. We have cross chains connecting those, so it's going to be great on the front wheels here to give us really good turning and traction. Of course, it's going to increase the traction, but this is probably going to be the bigger link that you can probably have with this wheel well clearance. It is SAE S Class certified, so you don't have to worry about that, but these are going to be one of the more aggressive chains we can put on this tire. If you're looking for ease of use, and also getting just the best amount of traction for the amount of space that you have to work with these are definitely going to be one of the best bets.If you're a big wheel guy like me, I want to make sure that my wheels are not going to get scratched or scuffed.
I try to avoid all curves, but whenever we're putting on chains sometimes it could scratch it just like if we did hit a curb. With this all of the components around our wheels is going to be either plastic or coated in a specific coating that's not going to scratch your wheel. If you have aluminum wheels, if you just have your OEM wheels like this that you want to keep nice and pretty it is going to be able to allow that. Some of the other chains don't, and these do, and that is definitely a plus. Another plus I like about these chains is we don't have to grab a rubber tensioner separately.
We have a little tensioner here, which is going to keep everything nice and tight.These chains do come in a pack of two, so if you plan on just putting them on the front tires you can just grab one, but if you play it on putting them on four, you can just grab two sets of these. They come in a nice little carrying case. I like this one better than any of the other ones that I've had, because it's small, it's got good zippers, it is easy to carry, and it's got nice little pouches to get everything all stored away. This is a great bag. And I like the bag.
Even if during the summer months, and you're not using them, I'd probably use this for something else, because this is a nice bag.But what's also nice is how quickly we can get these off. What we've got to do is press this little tab here. It's going to release that like that. Literally all you got to do is just give her a good tug. Once we get one little section going it's going to be easy to get it all undone, because it all just kind of follows suit. But other times it really wants to stay on there, which isn't a bad thing. You don't want the chain to fall off whenever we're riding down the road. Just work your way around. There we go. Then now, all you got to do is just roll off of them, put them back in the case, and we are ready to go for next time. Well, everyone that just about does it for our look at the Pewag Snox Pro Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chain.
