Difference between tire chain patterns
It’s important to understand the difference between patterns and how they effect traction.
When you’re purchasing your chains, keep in mind that tire coverage matters a lot. The more the pattern covers your tires, and therefore makes more contact with the ground, the more traction you should expect.
Learn about the pros and cons of the three of the most common tire chain patterns here.
Difference between tire chain link styles
Link styles are the design of the individual chain links that make up the chain. You’ll notice some are more common for certain terrain or vehicle types.
Check out our page on the 4 most common styles and their pros and cons.
Can my vehicle use tire chains?
You will want to check to make sure your vehicle wheel well has proper clearance for the tire chains you purchase. Our SAE clearance guide should help you identify which kinds of tire chains you can purchase.
It may be that tire socks or tire cables are going to be a better option, depending on the clearance limitations. Check your owners manual for more information as well. Contact us if you need help.
Are tire chains required?
When traveling on certain roads during the winter months, many states require car chains to be either mounted or carried in the vehicle. See our blog on tire chain laws for more information.

Low Volt Cable Passenger Vehicle Tire Chains
I put them on to see how difficult they were to install and if they in fact fit. They worked as advertised, very easy to install and they fit perfectly. I haven't had the chance to use them in the snow yet but I am very confident they will perform very well.
