Can you put snow chains on all 4 tires?

Yes, you can put snow chains on all four tires. In some regions it’s required or recommended in certain winter conditions. Equipping all four wheels can improve overall balance and control—especially on AWD/4WD and compared with 2WD front-vs-rear recommendations.

Using chains on all four tires helps distribute traction evenly, enhancing stability and reducing the likelihood of skids on icy roads. For fit and setup, confirm sizing with the Tire Chain Size Guide and follow the step-by-step Tire Chains Install Instructions.

Be mindful that chains can affect ride quality on cleared pavement. When conditions improve, remove them to limit wear and vibration—see when you should not use snow chains. Also review local requirements before you drive: tire chain laws and regulations by state.

Always follow your vehicle manufacturer’s guidance and the chain maker’s directions for compatibility, speed limits, and placement. If you’re unsure which wheels to chain for your drivetrain, start here: front or rear tires for chains (by drivetrain).
