When winter hits, these pewag Snox Pro chains dig in and hold steady. The square links bite into snow and light ice for solid traction, while the diamond pattern keeps more of the chain in contact with the road for smoother, steadier driving. You get dependable grip climbing slick grades or navigating icy streets without the rough ride you get from standard ladder chains.
No one wants to crawl around in the snow trying to connect chain links. With these, you just stretch them over your tires and drive forward—the Snox system automatically tightens and centers itself. The built-in tensioners adjust as you go, keeping the fit perfect without stopping to retighten. When you’re done, the quick-release latch makes removal fast and clean.
If your vehicle doesn’t leave much room around the tires, these chains are built for that. They meet SAE Class S standards, so they’re safe to use where clearances are tight. The low-profile design means dependable traction without rubbing or interference, making them ideal for vehicles with restricted wheel-well space.
Built from nickel manganese alloy steel, these chains resist corrosion and wear through repeated use. The metal stays strong under pressure and wards off rust after exposure to wet snow and road salt. Anti-scratch bumpers line the contact points to protect your wheels, so you can run these confidently season after season.
Each set includes 2 chains that fit 14" – 17" tires, with 3.2 mm link thickness. They come packed in a durable storage case that keeps everything organized and easy to stash in your trunk. Lightweight and compact, they’re simple to grab when snow rolls in and just as easy to tuck away when the roads clear.
These chains fit the following tire sizes:

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.

Having used them but a few times on a vehicle that surely doesn’t belong in the snow I’m amazed. Not by the performance so much but again in the ease of installation. As to performance, chains are chains in that they work as they should. Cable traction devices do not and do not last for beans. It’s perhaps why you see so many pitched off onto the road or someone off the side trying to unwrap them from their axle. These not only do the job but adjust immediately, stay on and take but a few minutes to remove.

These chains have held up really well. Got the installation process, in stormy snowy conditions, down to 5 minutes or less per wheel. I dont like to rely on the self-tensioning feature so I release the servo and tug on the cable to make sure that the cable is retracted and tightened as much as possible and then I let the self-tensioning feature do its job when I move the vehicle. These chains have gotten me out of my street and to work before the plow comes through the street. Definitely recommend them!

That is a shame to hear that the clip for the tensioner was not unlatching for you. I have gotten in contact with some of our install team to check this out, and we have found that there are times when the red notch on the tensioner will get stuck due to the amount of tension. So what you can do, is squeeze the tensioner to release some pressure off of the red latch. Then push the red button to release the chains.

You mentioned that they were not a fit for your snow tires. I have a few questions that I would like to ask. What is the size of the tires? Would you be able to send a picture on how they do not fit? Did you reach out to Pewag?

In the year that I have owned these, I have used them exactly once and I can say that under conditions it can be a bit tricky and at times frustrating. I suspect that additional installations on the side of the road will improve the time and patience it takes to install them. Removal was fairly simple, but putting them back into the case can be a challenge - Do note, they will scuff up your rims, but that can be polished out. One key take away: Everythings easier on a dry run literally dry... lol
