Frequently Asked Questions

Helpful answers about fitment, use, and ordering.

Are truck/suv tire chains sold in pairs?

Yes. All truck/suv tire chains are sold as a pair, which includes chains for two tires. If you need chains on all four tires, order two pairs.

Do I need tensioners?

Yes. Tensioners aid installation and remove slack as chains settle. A loose chain can slap, wear faster, and run off-center. A snug, centered chain runs smoother and lasts longer.

Will these chains require adjustment?

Most fit without major changes, but tread depth, lug style, brand, and tire wear can vary. Chain length may need adjusting for fit, traction, and longer life.
