These Glacier Cable Tire Chains use spring rollers wrapped around wire cross cables to give your tires extra bite when the snow starts to build up. The ladder-style pattern gives solid forward traction on slick streets, while the low-profile design keeps the ride smooth instead of bumpy like big chain links. They’re a smart choice for light snow driving or just having that extra traction option ready when the forecast changes.
If you’ve got limited space around your tires, these cables are made for that. They meet SAE Class S standards, which require at least 1.46" (37 mm) above the tread and 0.59" (15 mm) on the sidewalls. That low-clearance design makes them safe to use on vehicles where regular chains would rub or catch. You can drive with confidence knowing they meet Department of Transportation requirements in all states.
Each cable is constructed of case-hardened, low-carbon steel so the rollers resist wear and corrosion. The outer layer is tough enough to handle road grit and salt, while the sturdy inner wire cables hold their shape under tension. This combination gives you dependable strength without the heavy feel of traditional chains.
When it’s time to gear up, these cables go on fast with the integrated heavy-duty lever. Their lightweight build makes them easier to drape over your tires, and when the snow clears, they pack neatly into the reusable tote for storage. Add optional rubber adjusters for an extra-tight fit and you’re ready for the next winter trip.
Because they’re compact and light, these cable chains are perfect for keeping in your trunk during winter travel or when chain laws require carrying traction devices. Each set fits 14" to 19" tires and includes 2 cable chains with a 90-day warranty, giving you reassurance that you’re prepared for unexpected snow without taking up much space.
These chains fit the following tire sizes:

Great product with fair price
Have not used the product yet but it came in great time!
Great price and shipped quick!
Well built product. Thanks.
Now I'm ready for old man winter. Chains are heavy and bulky. Cables are the way to go. Not to heavy and they come in a nice nylon bag. Thank You.
they work great .
I got just what I ordered. The product is doing just what I wanted it to do.
Everything arrived perfectly. The next time it snows in Miami I'll be ready. Go Canes! []_[] !
This product arrived very quickly (exceeded my expectations). And I was able to put them on a few times over the weekend just to see how hard it would be using these as oppose to chains, and they are surprisingly light in comparison to the chains.
This style of chain is difficult to install unless you are in more ideal conditions such as a dry driveway or garage. We put them on regularly in winter/snowy conditions and did not get easier. My wife isn't "strong" enough (and she's in shape) to get installed correctly. We purchased new ones that take 1/4 the time to install.
Outstanding ordering on Internet. Easy to follow and purchase the
Correct product. Fast shipment.
Great cable chains at an affordable price. Thanks
Shawnee at etrailer.com was a pleasure to deal with and the parts arrived in less than 24 hours!!! Lucky me. I haven't used the item yet but I will write another review after my trip out west!!!
Better than expected !!Cables were great. Heavy Duty, much better than the cables I had purchased from a major auto parts store for twice the price. Excellent customer service, shipping, and pricing.
Chains were purchased for emergency purposes, recently caught in the snow without chains. Quality looks good and the price seemed reasonable.
Nice Products at a Great PriceI recently ordered two different tire chain/cable sets. They were priced below many competetors and shipping was just in time for our first snow. Thanks for the great product, price, and customer service.
I have not used the chains I purchased yet so I really can’t review the product , so my review is based on ordering and customer service which was great.
Chains nearly fit and rubber tension straps broke first time I tried to use them.
The cables showed up on time and appear to be excellent. I haven't used them yet. But I have used cables a lot in the past. I can tell these are made well. The customer service couldn't have been better! etrailer.com was very communicative and followed thru. I would definitely do business with them again.
etrailer is excellent... There web site is very easy to navigate and the entire buying and reviewing and shipping info is TOP SHELF !!!!
Since it's March in the Southeastern U.S., I have not had an opportunity to install the tire chains, so it's difficult to provide a review. I will say that my order arrived in a timely fashion and etrailer's customer support has been very attentive, showing real concern that I'm pleased with my purchase.
Great support from etrailer and their video is a definite assist when wrestling with the chains the first time or two. We fitted them to our 2011 Honda Odyssey which uses 235/65 17 tires. That said, the lengths of the cables are "just" long enough to be able to hook up and it took a pair of pliers to help - on a warm day. Lying in the snow, at night might not be as much fun. But they appear to be well-made and we will probably see how they work out in a couple of weeks.
I shopped around and you will NEVER beat this price. Clear instructions (video on etrailer was super helpful also). Great carry bag! A nice product to have "just in case." Hopefully I will never have to use them...
This product replace my 12 years old snow track. The main side cables and x-cables/roller are twice as large in diameter. Much heavier but draped over the wheels with no problem. Installation is simple as described on your video. Fit is good. I am anxious to try idriving with it on snow and ice. But, I don’t drive when the weather is not permitting and the road is not clear. But, it is a good feeling to have a new snow chain with you instead of the old rusty and twisted one.
The 5 arms tensioner are much better than my single loop.
Just a couple of cons:
1. The latch on the outside cable connectors are difficult to lock and unlock in place. Plier to compress it to lock in position and flat head screw driver to open it from lock position are good help.
2. The red “S” clips that is right next to the connector assembly does not work. The cable is too stiff and the cable connector assembly gets in the way in securing excess cables from slapping around. Place the clip on the next link to secure. You will end up with an inch high bulge on the cable so make sure you have enough clearance inside the wheel well when the wheels is fully turned right and left. I have plenty of room so this is not and issue - I hope!
“Much thanks to Carol C. who assisted me in ordering the parts. Your professionalism and product knowledge made my life easy.” Stay WARM!

Works fine except on black ice, you have to really take it easy on the accelerator when accelerating from stop or coming out of a turn. This is understandable but I thought I try to see how far can I take it. It did better than the plastic strap. Noise level at 35mph is acceptable. Vibration is well absorbed by the suspension. Lastly, it also fits my 2003 Ford Ranger how about that.
