Note: 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.
These pewag ladder-patterned chains are great winter weather chains for your SUV, truck, or 4WD vehicle. Not only do the grooved square links dig into deep snow and ice better than rounded or standard square links, but the reversible design of these chains also allows them to wear under standard use much longer than other chains. And if you're partial to American-made products, you'll be happy to know that these are made in Colorado.
If you know your tire size, you may think you won't need to test fit your new 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. You'll also need to know how much clearance is in your wheel well, which you can determine by measuring from your tire tread to the sidewall of the wheel well.
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 chains 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 these chains is simple.
1. Lay out the chains on the ground to make sure there are no twists or kinks.
2. Drape the chains 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.
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 chain tension. Tighten any loose cams. If needed, rubber adjusters (sold separately) can be used to get a tight fit. Make sure the hooks on the adjusters 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.

The quality & looks are great. These chains will be last ones for my truck! Best Prices Here (etrailer.com)
Excellent traction on snow and ice. Heavy duty textured square chains. Only the best for my 14,000# Mitsubishi Fuso FG 4x4.
These are great chains! They do give you a rather rough ride but I expect that from any square link snow chain. They grip great and are very strong.
Chains fit my tires very well and appear to be very well made.
Pewag products are top of the line and not for the faint of heart. We run Pewag chains on our
Firedepartment loader and now on my new Bronco...
Like the quality and the easy installat ion.
Chains worked very well. They were easy to install and they provided good traction.
They tracked the order every step of the way. Very informative the second you place a order. Great customer service! Product is perfect, can’t wait to try them out next storm
These bad boys eat through snow like a sumo wrestler at a buffet table.... They bite into ice and snow like a grizzly feasting on salmon. Definitely take the time to learn to put these on and actually put them on before you need them!! Helpful online videos if this is your first prom dance...
As in all things in life.. the best time to sell a home, car, watch or whatever is BEFORE YOU HAVE to! This supplier is great, the product is great, I need them for a trip this coming December, thats why I bought them now.
Item arrived as described. Customer service was top notch. There was an issue with chains being on backorder and they took care of me as quickly as possible. I would buy from them again
These are excellent chains! These chains were the number 1 choice when I use to plow snow for the county for 20+ years. Very quick delivery of 3 days!
Heavy durable chains . Wish the tightening tool was longer for more leverage .
great service!
Great service as usual.
Great service and knowledge of product. Delivered ahead of schedule.
It is always a great experience working with or ordering from etrailer. I have yet to be disappointed with any of the products they carry. I will continue to use etrailer as my trusted provider.
Great traction in deep snow or hard packed snow/ice.
Pewag PWE2228SC chains are nothing fancy. Good old traditional design. Came in a canvas bag with no closure. Successfully mounted them on P165/70R17 tires. Have not tested them in real-life snowy conditions. After chains are on, should drive vehicle 1/4 to 1/2 tire revolution, then tighten chain hooks further. Adding additional tension cords almost a must. Picture shows chain loosening at 6 o'clock and 7 o'clock positions after driving only a few feet. Consider adding threaded chain link to tie down extra free links to prevent them from flopping around when driving. Flopping chains are know to cut brake and ABS lines and cause other damage to the vehicle, especially if chains are installed on front tires. Thule XG12 Pro may be a better choice for front tires, because nothing flops around on the medial side of chains.
