Note: To determine whether you can use snow chains on your vehicle, or if chains might affect your ABS/ESP functionality, consult your owner's manual.
These chains are great for giving you extra traction in deep snow. But if you're more likely to see seriously icy conditions, you may want a chain with square or V-bar links that can really bite into the ice for more traction.
If you know your tire size, you may think you won't need to test fit your new snow 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.
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. These 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.
Installing tire chains is easy.
1. Lay out the chains on the ground to make sure there are no twists or kinks.
2. Drape the chain over your tires, making sure that the prongs attaching the cross chains to the side chains face away from your sidewalls. Drive forward about half a tire rotation.
3. On the back of the tire, pull the chain tight and hook the ends together. Repeat this on the front of the tire, then clamp the lever to fasten extra chain links and keep them from flapping as you drive.
4. Insert the included tool into the cam and twist to tighten the sidewall chain. Twist as many cams as it takes to get a tight fit.
5. Drive forward 2-3 vehicle lengths and recheck the chains tension. Tighten any loose cams.
If needed, rubber adjusters (sold separately) can be used to get a tight fit. Make sure the hooks face away from your tire so your wheels don't get scratched.
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.

ONE SINGLE CHAIN. Good work, fix it!!
Jenny N - 11/16/2022Appear to be very high quality.
Install easily.
Rubber tensioners are unnecessary.
After a quick 50’ roll, loosen cams, readjust hooks and retighten cams: tight enough to work properly, loose enough to settle into their home and squirm (very little) to better suit the terrain.
They were purchased “just in case”, but I have no doubt that they will perform admirably, should the need arise!
Although I haven't used them in ice or snow yet, the snow chains appear to be of great quality and are very easy to install. The cam tighteners work nicely and hold the chain on the tire with no slack. Etrailer.com was great to work with. Ordering was easy. They kept me updated via email during the shipping process. They upgraded my free shipping and I received my order in 2 business days instead of 7 as projected originally. I can tell that they care about their customers.
Keith S - 02/20/2015The people were good to work with. The problem was they sent me the wrong tire chains two times. So after sending the chains back two times I canceled the order. They came with no locking hook ends on the chain.
Excellent chains on 2005 GMC Sierra. Cam Locks are good but you really need to use a tire bungee or equivalent to pull the chains tighter. I use wire ties for the extra length of chain on the inside and outside firewall. Turns the truck into a total snow beast, I have yet to get stuck and have never used the winch I bought for that purpose.
Christopher H - 01/09/2019Exactly what I was told they would be. A descent low end chain. Not a disposable like the really cheap ones, but not for anyone who needs a truly durable chain. These are a good choice for the once every two or three years user.
Everything about this order from browsing the eTrailer web site, to calling and talking to customer service (George), to ordering and receiving the tire chains was excellent. I got what I ordered and the chains fit my vehicle perfect. Thanks to eTrailer for understanding what customer service is all about.
great productThe chains worked great in the deep snow we were hit with over the weekend. I was the only one on my road that was able to get off the mountain. The grades here are steep and without the chains you can't get up the hills. My driveway has a 9 percent grade and I didn't even slip a tire going up it.
Works as advertised.
Good chains for my gmc 2500 HD
Living in North, you are required to carry chains from Nov through March while going over passes. I have not used this chain yet so I won’t be able to tell much about the effectiveness of it but at a glance the pair looks sturdy and came with a well made carrying bag. The purchase from etrailer.com was smooth and delivery was on time.my purchase was solely based on the reviews of other customers.
Worked great.
2005 Silverado with unstoppable traction. Thanks! Fantastic Chains.
Great product. It was missing the camber tightening tool, but Carol and George helped by immediately shipping out the missing tool. I order from etrailer because I know I'll get the right part and their service is awesome
The chains are excellent. They are easy to put on and the securing device works great. Also the cam tighteners are a great innovation and make tightening the chains very easy. Great product!
Ron G - 02/20/2018eTrailer has asked me to review this product, which I purchased last year.
Unfortunately, I have been fortunate and have not found myself in road conditions requiring the use of chains, and therefore I cannot attest to its quality or performance at this time.
I keep them in a toolbag in the truck, along with the Multi-Arm Rubber adjusters I also purchased.
I rate 5 star because they are still in new condition and show no signs of deterioration.
I bought tire chains for the ice that I hope I don't have to use. Etrailer was easy to use and my order that I placed at 5:04 pm still shipped on UPS that night & I received it the next day. Awesome!
Stan H - 01/14/2018worked great!!!! I received them on friday and were on the lake on saturday am putting the chains on my truck to pull the fish house. went on easy, snugged up nice and remained tight, able to travel on the lake and not get bogged down, removal was easy, Have them drying right now and ready for the next trip. super great quality and exactly what I needed for travel on the lake!!! Video was super helpful and very informative.
Lance - 01/09/2020Have not had to use these chains yet, but I did a practice run of hooking them up. They fit nicely and it was not too hard to install them.
I ordered three sets of chains. One for my van, one for my small truck and one for my big truck. The chains with the cams are very nice and easier to deal with. Don't buy the rubber rings with hooks that is used to keep the chain centered, it is cheap and will not last the winter. Buy the short rubber straps at any hardware, they work perfectly. These are adequate chains for moderate use.
I just got them. Haven't used them yet and I don't know that much about tire chains, but it looks like I've made a great deal by getting them from you guys. When put them on the car I'll contact you with again with pictures.
Thank you

RustyZ - 09/16/2016We didn't need the chains on this trip to Mammoth Mountain. However, Emily at Etrailer.com was extremely helpful. Friendly, professional and patient, Emily listened to my needs and offered advice in purchasing the right chains for our 4Runner. Additionally, the product came as Emily promised before we left for our skiing trip. Emily is definitely an asset to Etrailer.com. Thank you!
Arrived 1 day before promised! Extremely easy to put on and tighten up. Very good product!
Ordered snow chains for my 2007 FJ. Ordered on Sun. and received them on the following Friday. Only opened for inspection so far, and haven't had a chance to install them yet. Although I found that there made in China, they look like there heavy duty and will get the job done, when needed. very happy with purchase price and product. Thanks etrailer.com
Just received these chains. They look great and are well constructed of heavy guage chain. My tires are 265/70/16 and are on my 2005 Dodge Dakota. They did seem a little big with 4 extra links. I simply removed a couple of them.
Would recommend these chains to others, a very good value at the price.
