*Chains are refundable. Please be sure to read our returns policy. With any tire chains retailer, fitment for the indicated tire sizes is likely, but not always a match. This is due to occasional differences between how tire manufacturers measure the dimensions of their tires. Accordingly, the nominal sizes they designate on their sidewalls may be the same across manufacturers, but for tires that are significantly different in actual size.
Overview
These most popular and easy-to-install truck tire chains are made for 4WD, 2WD and AWD pickups, SUVs and vans. Proven in the field by truck "gearheads," driving professionals and trainers such as Bill Burke, Overland Journal and Viking Offroad, these German-engineered chains are respected by people in the know as a superior choice. The details of why these chains are a better choice can be read by clicking the text expansion link at the bottom: "RUD GRIP 4X4 TIRE CHAINS INFO."
Value: Excellent Chains for a Great Price
Check the buzz in online forums. Do a Google search for "best 4x4 tire chains" and you will find RUD chains mentioned among the best. Notice, however, the large price difference you'll find between RUD chains and the other "best chains." Here at Chain STOP you're getting chains of equal or better value than those you'll see hyped up on top 10 lists that "cozy up" to Amazon and high-priced retailers. While of equal or better value, our chains are consistently priced at a fraction of the others, especially when you purchase two or more pairs. The chains we sell are priced relatively low, but they are high-quality German-engineered chains NOT to be confused with the very cheap imitations that will break after a few uses.
Put the Word Out
Get the chains and once you see the quality, service and value you received, don't leave your family and friends "in the cold"....put the word out that Chain STOP offers the real deal at an excellent price.
Purchasing Details

One of these options is your choice of promotional offers for discounts when you purchase tire chain accessories with your tire chains.

Bulk Pricing

Promotion
Get an additional discount when you opt to add a tire chain accessories kit with your purchase of each pair of tire chains. Select "Kit" to get this additional promotional offer. The chart below shows what's included in the promotion and its respective pricing for each tire chain accessory in the kit.
NOTE: Kit includes the following items in the quantities shown in the chart above.
Kit Item #1: Shoe Chains with Ruck Sack (Bergsteiger)
If you've ever tried walking on packed snow or icy ground, you know it can be a little difficult and sometimes even dangerous. RUD's Bergsteiger shoe chains are Chain STOP's top choice for outdoor shoe traction. Whether on snow or ice, these bad boys will give you a whole lot of grip!
Kit Item #2: Replacement Tensioning Hooks
The Grip 4x4s are strong, but in the uncommon instance that the rubber on a hook snaps, extra tensioning hooks are an inexpensive backup to have.
Kit Item #3: Repair Links
Repair links also serve as backup in the uncommon instances of a chain link breaking or when you simply need to tighten chains that are a little big.
Shoe Size 1 & Shoe Size 2
The "Shoe Size" options are ONLY FOR KITS. If you only want to buy snow chains, simply select "None" in the shoe size drop-down menus. If you indicate a shoe size when you have not indicated that you want one of the kits, you will only receive tire chains.
Quantity
Your selection of a quantity of 1 means you are buying 1 of the promotional option that you selected. Your selection of a quantity of 2 means you are buying 2 of the promotional option you selected. Etc.
If you want 2 pairs of chains, but only 1 kit, simply select a quantity of 1 pair of the tire chain size that fits your tire, then select 1 kit and indicate shoe sizes for your shoe chains. Then, add to cart. Next, click the "continue shopping" link. This will enable you to return to the product page to select and add to cart your 2nd pair of tire chains without having to buy a 2nd kit.
IMPORTANT SIDE NOTE: If your purchase is for a 4-wheel drive or all wheel drive vehicle, professional driving trainers (e.g., Bill Burke and Harald Pietschmann) strongly recommend the use of chains on all four tires. If you end up buying only one pair for a 4-wheel drive anyway, then consider strategic placement as described in detail by Harald Pietschmann. If you buy one pair for a 2-wheel drive, then put your chains on the tires that are on the drive axle.
When you reach checkout, please know that the shipping and handling price reflects the relatively heavy weight of the package(s).
Fitment Note
Before purchasing tire chains, please be sure to check with your vehicle manufacturer/owner's manual as to whether your vehicle can have tire chains installed and if so, what the clearance requirements are. This will help you avoid damaging your vehicle.
NOTE Re. Off Road Application
While these are labeled "Grip 4x4" chains, please know that care must be taken to not push the chains' limits. RUD states, "Chains are designed to aid in traction on snow and ice. They are not designed for mud, logs, or rocks, which could damage the snow chain. Please apply common sense."
Chain STOP takes this to mean that driving on snow-covered "off road" trails where logs and rocks may be concealed could put your chains at risk of breaking and subsequently damaging other parts of your vehicle. While these chains are stronger and offer better traction than the average chains, please exercise great care to not drive over objects that can break your chains.
Additional Limitation for Chain Application
These chains are designed to sustain the GVWR indicated by vehicle manufacturers of average SUVs and pickups, not those that are in the heavier ranges. Improper uses (i.e., weight and terrain extremes) that push the resistance limits of these chains are likely to break them and could consequently result in damage to your vehicle and other dangerous consequences like a road collision/accident. Please exercise great caution and use them with care.
Refunds
Rest assured that, unlike brick and mortar stores, we DO accept returns if your tire chains do not fit. If your chains are a little to big, one option may be to try RUD's instructions for shortening the chains with repair links. Alternatively, we can give you a full refund on the price you paid for the chains. Please read our complete refund policy before purchasing.
Fitment Exceptions
In an effort to reduce your hassle of having to return chains that do not fit your tires as expected, we are beginning to list tires with respective tire sizes and tire chain sizes that do not fit. Please check below to see if we have identified tires that are larger or smaller than expected:
Chain Size | Tire Brand | Model | Size | Problem | Solution |
2532 | Goodyear | Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure | 275/70R18 | Tires too large (chains too small) | Exchange for 2533 |
2532 | Michelin | LTX AT2 | 275/65R20 | Tires too large (chains too small) | Exchange for 2533 |
2532 | Michelin | LTX AT2 | 275/70R18 | Tires too large (chains too small) | Exchange for 2533 |

I've been using the Rud Grip 4x4 chains for years now on different rigs and the durability and function has been outstanding!
I like that you can go until you get stuck and then chain up without moving the rig an inch. Then once the tires are wrapped up you move a bit and finish tightening them up. The diamond pattern and tough links have gotten me out of some EXTREME places!!!
RUD makes the Best chains in the World in my opinion.
And Alvin has to be one of the best individuals to work with that I have ever came across!!!!! 5 STARS!
I sometimes use these instant install Grip 4x4 chains on the front paired with a set of RUDprofi Cargo's on the rear.
No matter the situation I know that I will never be truly 'stuck' when I use a bit of common sense along with a bag of RUD chains in the rig!
Thank you for making an excellent product,
Jim

I purchased them for my F150 pick-up. The go on well and the way you can tighten them with that yellow and blue chain is brilliant, particularly compared to bungee cords. Once you have them installed and properly tightened they ride grade without being so loose that they would do damage to your vehicle. Besides they do provide great traction!

Thank you Alvin! These are my first snow chains for my Land Rover, LR4 tire size 255/50 20. Called Chainstop and talked to Alvin. Great guy! He made sure my order was shipped the day I placed the order. They arrived on time as promised, 4 days. Fit perfect and easy to install. Now I'm ready for my road trip to Mammoth and then to Lake Tahoe.

Pretty standard and quick install. No mishaps along the way meant chains served purpose and let me focus on what mattered - fun with family.

I love these chains and hoped to keep using them this winter. Last winter I drove with these chains and did very well in snow and on ice. That was before the tensioner broke and well caused a lot of damage to my truck. The tensioner has now broken on three of the four chains I have for my truck. Replacements would not be so bad to purchase but with 12 bucks or more for shipping for a single set, I might have to go another route for my winter expeditions.

I'm not much one to endorse products and companies, but when Alvin asked me for a review, I had no problem doing that. The guy's a cool dude. willing to bend over backwards to make a customer happy. I asked him a bunch of questions about installation because the instructions didn't seem too easy to follow, and I thought the chains just didn't fit at first. He quickly replied my e-mails and was fully available to answer all my questions over the phone when I called multiple times for clarification. At no point was he annoyed or did he make me feel like he was in a rush to move on. He knew to put me at ease by offering the refund option up front in the conversation rather than to have that question lingering. He's a class act that gave me reason to trust him again.

Putting these on was a snap. Haven't taken them to the snow yet, but I like what I see so far.
