pewag Tire Chains for dependable winter grip
Winter roads call for traction you can count on, and pewag tire chains deliver options for cars, trucks, and motorhomes. Pick thicker links for more bite in deep snow and ice, or a diamond pattern to keep the ride less rough; some sets add built-in tensioners for easier installs, including dually-specific fits. Do a dry run before storms and check your owner's manual for any chain restrictions or class S clearance needs.
Yes—do a dry run before you need them. If your tire is at the top of a size range, hooks can be tight; roll forward a few inches to let the self-tensioner click and create slack. Some use a spare link to bridge during fitting but don't drive like that. In a garage, lifting the tire off the ground can make adjustments easier. Wear gloves for snowy installs.
Yes, pewag offers chains designed for dually setups. Look for versions built for dual rear wheels so both tires are covered correctly. Diamond patterns can help the ride feel less harsh, and grooved square links add bite in deep snow and ice. Built-in tensioners can simplify the install on larger rigs.
Check your owner's manual first—some vehicles limit chains or require class S reduced interior clearance. Verify space to the knuckle, strut, and end links; initial fit may look close but spacing can improve after the chains self-center as you drive a short distance. Rim protectors may not touch certain rims with extended tire lips, so expect chain contact on the tire surface.
Thicker pewag links increase traction in harsh elements but can feel rougher. Options like 7 mm bite harder than 5.6 mm. Diamond patterns help reduce the bumpy feel compared to straight ladders while keeping consistent contact. Choose thicker links for grip; pick a diamond layout if you want to help smooth things out.
