Product Description
*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

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 |

Grips for Piece of Mind
Posted by Stew on 16th Oct 2013
I didn't care that these chains were more expensive than the cable chains or what you get at Walmart. Cheap isn't in my vocab when it comes to safety. Why wouldn't I get chains that have proven their worth in safety and durability?...To save $20 or $50 or whatever? No way. Not me. I'll invest the extra $50 to be more certain that I'll have control over my truck in rough weather and keep my baby boy and my wife out of harm's way. That just how we roll!

You'll be Glad
Posted by Charles on 15th Oct 2013
Prepping for a trip to Big Bear last year, I bought some chains at a chevron station. They were fine, but I regretted my purchase when I realized they weren't the quick install kind that the Grip 4x4 are.
Couldn't return the first set I bought at the gas station, so I was even more bummed out about it. I keep that pair as a back up, don't think I'll ever need them because the Grips are solid. used them at Big Bear and other places. No signs of breakage or any serious wear. Good ride while they're on your tires, and I love that I don't have to spend much time installing them.
If you ask my advice, here it is: Avoid my mistake and just get these the first time around.

These Tire Chains Offer Good Value
Posted by Tom on 15th Oct 2013
Disclaimer: The guys at Chain STOP are friends of mine, so I'm inevitably biased. Put that aside for a second to know that I've done a lot of off roading in the snow since I was a kid. I've also used a lot of different chains while doing it, so I know a good bit about snow chains and how they work.
When you've got little time to spend in the cold trying to figure out how to get stupid chains on your truck tires, you're gonna want a set that does what these chains do. The price won't break the bank like some of the highest-end chains, but Grip 4x4 chains still basically accomplish the same things as those really expensive models selling at $400+. They're relatively inexpensive for what you get:
1. A quick install that takes only minutes with a few practice runs. Keeps you warm and back on the road quicker to get you where you want faster.
2. A durable set that lasts. When you install and care for them properly, they'll last for years and years.
3. A smooth ride. Since there's more tire chain covering your tires, there's less of the annoying bumpiness and vibrations you get with the ladder style chains that only stretch across your tires sort of like a ladder.
4. Great traction and, consequently, greater safety keeping you and your family safe. The chain's diamond shape helps give you traction forward and backward, sideways, and diagonally.
To me, just that last point alone is worth the extra bit of cash you spend on these chains instead of the cheap throw-way kind.
Top that all off with the fact that when you get these chains, you're dealing with friendly guys that know what they're doing and back up their product with a fair return policy that makes sense. You can't go wrong.

third time's a charm
Posted by Sharad on 12th Oct 2013
Had bought two pairs of tire chains for my truck on two separate occasions...total 4 pairs. Both times, the chains broke.
I realized the cheapy kind you buy at the gas station aren't gonna last long - the diameter on those things isn't big enough probably. They're not made to last - practically disposable. That's why I finally invested in a better tire chain this time. I use them enough that it made sense. With the money I spent on the other two pairs, I could have bought these instead and saved myself the time, hassle and money.
These are working out for me just fine. In last year's snow storms, I drove through a good 12 - 16 inches of snow at points, and was able to get through it pretty well - didn't have to get out of my truck to fix or adjust anything, so that's pretty good in my book.

Pretty Good Chain
Posted by Jeremy on 12th Oct 2013
What I got from these tire chains for this price was a good deal. I lifted my truck a couple years ago, so I wasn't worried about the clearance, but Alvin told me to check with Toyota anyway to be sure there weren't any other issues we might not be aware of with clearance (wires and cables and things like that).
When I put them on my tires, it took me a second to figure out that these chains are reversible, but the cable has to go on the inside of the tire. Once I got that handled, they went on pretty quick, which is nice because I don't like wasting time in the cold. Once on, I got in my truck and drove around in them. These chains are nice. Smooth ride and dig into the snow well enough to get me great traction.

rud grip 4x4 = excellent truck tire chains
Posted by Alton on 11th Oct 2013
I threw a set of these tire chains in the back of my pickup truck ahead of a snow storm last year. didn't think i'd use them, but low and behold - things got a little hairy on the highway. I put these on and was surprised that the ride was actually pretty smooth! And they fit on my tires pretty well, so I wasn't worried about them coming loose and doing damage on the underside of my truck. Got through the rest of that trip just fine and never had any incidents with these chains.

Get 'em...
Posted by Orlando on 11th Oct 2013
These are good good chains. A little pricey for me, but better than a lot of others I had researched. Easy to put on, and they keep your tires where you want them. My truck's tires never had a better set of chains.

Rud got this one right
Posted by Brent on 10th Oct 2013
Sory for the stereotype, but Germans are anal when it comes to engineering things well (cars for instance). Rud continued this tradition with their own design of tire chains that are not only strong but install easily and quickly...just 2-3 minutes per tire!
I have pair that goes with my truck and I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to know what are some of the best chains out there. These are.
