Snow-covered grades and icy roads are where these chains shine. The diamond pattern keeps more of the chain in contact with the ground compared to basic ladder designs, so your tires always have bite. The square links dig into packed snow and light ice for steady traction, and the smaller 3.7 mm (0.145") links make for a smoother ride without the harsh shake you get from bulkier chains.
If you’ve ever looked behind your tires and seen how little space there is, these Class S-compatible chains were built with that in mind. They only require 1.46" (37 mm) above the tread and 0.59" (15 mm) at the sidewall, so they clear tight suspension and brake components while still giving you the traction you need. That makes them perfect for vehicles with limited wheel-well clearance.
Nothing’s worse than fumbling with separate parts in freezing weather. These chains solve that with assisted built-in tensioners—just pull them snug and they automatically keep the fit tight around your tire. The bright, color-coded hooks and clips guide you through the connections quickly, even with gloves on, and since the tensioners are part of the chain, you’ll never misplace them.
Winter weather is tough on metal, but these chains are ready for it. The manganese-nickel alloy resists rust and surface wear so you can count on them for years of use. Each link is hardened for strength, letting the chains handle repeated stress from snow, slush, and salt without weakening.
You won’t need to wrestle with bulky chain piles when the weather turns. This pair comes packed in a reusable storage bag that keeps them organized and untangled. Lightweight and compact, they tuck behind a seat or in your cargo area so they’re always ready for the next trip into winter conditions.
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.

Ratings & Reviews
First .... customer service is great. I needed the chains for a trip to Northern MN. , planned on leaving on Saturday ... they were ordered on Wednesday with 2 day service. The chains arrived the next day around 1300 hrs., were well packaged, and the case for the chains is well made. Now the fun part installation. I have "baby mud" tires ... the chains don't easily slide over the surface ... not a big deal, it just takes a little longer to center the chains. However, the next issue started to annoy me. The tension chain was too long. Was I centered properly? I adjusted chain again ... still too loose. Back to the video. You can pickup some of the slack by the link that attaches to the green hook. Ok ... better, but still too loose. Back to the product reviews. I was not alone .... the fix (per mfg) was simple and now obvious. Loop the tension chain over the yellow chain once (you're simulating another red hoop) and the attach the tension chain. Readjust after driving a short distance. I'm sure they will perform well ... the test willl be snow covered looging roads. The one thing I suggest is to put them on in good conditions .... better to resolves any issues in a nice enviroment.
Got into some deep snow in the mountains on a narrow, icy forest service road and accidentally slid my truck off the road and into a ditch while trying to turn around. After shoveling and installing these chains on all four tires, I drove back onto the road in 4High and got turned around with no issues. No problems driving with them the rest of the day as the snow storm continued. Moral of the story- don’t be dumb and put chains on before things get bad.
These tire chains fit the tire and rim well once everything was properly tightened. Picture directions for installation are easy to follow (be sure to practice once in your driveway when weather is good). I personally prefer the diamond pattern because you always have chains contacting the ground. All of that plus no issues so far I am giving 5 stars, but note I have not used these on compact ice on paved roads; only for snow and ice on gravel/dirt roads.
Can't beat the service! It is outstanding. Talked to Matt and the product is everything he said it was, easy to put on - it even came with instructions for a novice like me.
I needed the chains delivered quickly, and they were. I placed the order and it shipped the next day. From start to finish - the experience was excellent. I'd order from etrailer.com...any time!
Outstanding and timely service despite supply chain issues. I had reviewed many chain/cable options, however I desired actual chains with appropriate clearance on a Jeep Gladiator. Appreciate the excellent website and sizing guidance.

Purchased these chains for annual winter trips into the Appalachian mountains. Finally had the chance to use them. Initially took me a moment to get on the first tire mittens and -17degrees with 20mph winds and hadn’t attempted since original purchase. Thereafter relatively simple. Made all the difference with ability to move around town safely. Highly recommend
My tire size is somewhat obscure with not many manufacturers carrying chains that size. Etrailer came through with flying colors and a quality product. The service is #1. Thank you.

Fantastic! My hands are permanently disabled but when the guys who offer chain install service on the mountain pass are elated to see these chains, I get a discount because of ease of use! BTW, they still look new. Thank you.
Perfect. Fair Price . Fast Shipping. I always shop here first.

I have not had to use the tire chains yet. I am glad of that, but happy I have them in my truck. I have an RV Toy Hauler I tow and its comforting to know the tire chains are with me.. In case. But, I do hope I never need to install them.
These chains were purchased for emergency purposes during travels over our state mountain ranges. While we have no had the opportunity to use them yet, they have been pre-fitted and appear to be a good quality product.

These are really good chains so I know if you ever need them, they will get you thru the snow safely Steve.
Have not installed yet but style and approach appear to be application friendly; design appears efficient and effective for maximum grip. BTW, Madison at etrailer was great, very helpful knowledgeable, pleasant.

Hi Bob! Hope you had a merry Christmas. I went and asked Madison if shed like a chance to respond to you directly and so heres what she says: Hey Bob! Thank you for the kind review. I am happy you received the chains and like the looks of them so far. We always try to do everything in our power to give our neighbors the best assistance possible. If you ever need anything in the future please feel free to reach out. Happy New Year!
The vehicle and tire chain I received look great. (No snow, yet, haven't tried them on). But, I have been purchasing from Etrailer and their personal assistance is on the remarkable side these days. Real people talk to you if you have a question. Imagine that!! The tire chains arrived right on time (I was worried, we were getting ready to leave for snow country in our RV) so I am a happy camper. Thanks, etrailer.

Thanks. Like all chains they work best when never needed. Hopefully the will continue to work in this capacity. If I ever do have to use them, I”ll let you know.
I have a 2018 Suburban Premier with the 22” wheels and 285/45R22 tires. I purchased two sets of these chains (four chains in all) for a trip to Mammoth California at the beginning of March 2023 during a record snow season. I was really glad that I had them as I had them all four wheels for most of a week, taking them off and putting them on at least 5 times. Part of the time I had them on I was pulling a 6x12 UHaul trailer. These chains worked flawlessly and provided a huge amount of extra traction on top of my Michelin Defender LTS M/S tires. I was a bit concerned that using the chains may cause some damage to may alloy wheels, but that did not happen. If you put them on correctly, the wheels don’t get damaged at all. The etrailer videos that show how to put the chains on accurately portray the ease of doing that. Even after a week of pretty constant use, the chains don’t show much wear at all. I would absolutely buy these again.

A year into ownership, I still have the chains and carry them with me whenever I think I may encounter conditions where they will be needed. The still look like new are easy to pack for a trip with the nice case that comes with them.
Best chains I could find for my Cadillac Escalade. I liked the Thule chains for my Lexus.
Have not had to use them yet… however I think they will work great!

Great, have not had to use them!
Super easy to install took me about 10 minutes to install, not bad for my first time. Highly recommend, perfect fit for my Nissan titan 2020. Chain’s came with a travel case”thank you “ pictures posted it’s just a practice test.
Actually have not had a chance to use them yet. I did do several practice installs to get familiar with them. Very easy installation. I don't anticipate any problems.
These chains fit perfect on my 2015 GMC Sierra all terrain with 20” wheels. They have come in handy many times.
Fit well even on 20s. Adequate clearance. Relatively easy to install.

Used them once but they worked well and went on nicely.
I can put these on in under 2 minutes per tire without having to drive the vehicle over the chains. Also a very nice carrying package. I purchased these as backup in the event of slippery conditions when hauling a 24' ice house of the lake. Have not had to use on the ice yet, but I did practice putting them on the tire to avoid learning curve on ice.
Fantastic.
Installed on a 2017 F150 with 275/55/R20 wheels. These chains were very easy to install and watching the installation videos were very helpful. The carry case is perfect and is very compact so it doesn't take up much room in your truck cab and can fit nicely under the rear seat. It comes with a replacement chain link hitch so in case one breaks you have a backup. It would be nice to have two thought. Either way, I look forward to my trip to Boone NC winter and if I have to use the chains, I will be back to write a second review on how they worked out.
Waited a year to write this review. These chains are amazing!!!! I have a 2WD truck and love my winter sports (I know I know). Anyways, just got back from a week in Mammoth Lakes CA, Mammoth is currently experiencing some of the most snow for the season that they've had for awhile. These chains stayed on my truck for all 5 days there. Through powder, packed snow, ice, etc. These chains DELIVERED!!!!!!!! I am so happy with them that my friends who have 4wd that were on the trip asked about them and are ordering the same ones for their trucks as well! I couldn't be more happy with the purchase.
Haven't used the snow chains yet but was impressed with the look, feel, overall quality of their construction. Expect that they'll do the trick.
Easy to install. Customer service fant astic.

Looks great, Dan! Have you had a lot of snow this winter?
These are just what I was looking for to put on my Toyota Tacoma with Toyo Tire Open Country A/T III LT285 /65 R18 125S E1 BSW tires. It was difficult to find this size in town for an affordable price, so I feel very happy to have found etrailer. Great service, fast shipping, and a quality product!
Nice chains that fit well and fairly easy to install, at least in my garage in the summer. Haven’t tried in real conditions yet. Super fast free delivery. I did have a heck of a time getting the chains laid out properly flat and without kinks for the first trial install but that was probably operator error when getting them out of the box.. Quickly learned how to properly stow and remove from the storage box which is important to make it easy to prepare for quick, drama free install.

Never used them and probably won’t. I bought them for planned trips out west to mountain areas in late fall or early spring that have never happened, and probably won’t. Not much use for them in Nashville TN
Chains fit and are easy to install as is shown in etrailer video

I have a 2006 Ford F 150 4 X4 with P275 65 R18 wheels. Ford states not to use chains on this tire. Can you explain this statement. If I can use chains please make a recommendation. Thanks Glenn .................
