*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.

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 Experimented With Different tire Chains For my trucks And HAve Found That There Are A Lot Of Chains Out There That Are Pretty Good. Most Of Them Suck, BuT Quite A Few Of Them Are Pretty Good. These Grip 4X4s Are A Great Buy Because They'll Fit On Your Trucks Tires Real Easy, They Give Good Traction, And They're Not That Pricey Compared To Some Chains That Offer All The Right Features That These Do.

If your a gearhead, you're probably gonna like these chains a lot. I got them a year ago, then someone at Chainstop contacted me to check in and see how my chains were working out for me....Are you kidding me?...Who does that a year later!! These guys are really confident with what they're selling, and I think they deserve my proper respect for treating me well and asking for feedback. It also helps that their chains are awesome. Other chains I've dealt with were really awkward and hard to set up. These were quick and easy in comparison. Just watch the video here on how to install them and practice once or twice before you actually have to put them on to drive in the snow.

I'm all about saving time and money. That's why I got these chains for my F150. I didn't want to waste too much time searching for a good pair of tire chains, so I asked my neighbor about his set and how he like them. he sent me to chainstop since he liked his chains and how they dealt with him. When I called, they made it easy. Asked me a few questions, figured out what I needed really quick, then ran the whole transaction right there with me on the phone. We were done in like 5 minutes, and I know I got a great set of chains, becuase my neighbor told me to just look up online reviews for these chains and they're really popular. That works for me; I've got way more interesting stuff to do than to sit there researching all about tire tire chains. I'm done. 'Nuff said.

There are so many options online to fit your truck tires with chains, but I landed on this site after doing a search specifically for "truck tire chains," and saw that they specialize in tire chains for trucks: suvs and pickups. I'm an accomplished web developer, so it makes sense to me that they would have carved out this niche to raise their online rank by getting known as the tire chain specialists for trucks. When Alvin (guy I talked with at chain stop) asked me to write a review if I was happy with their service and my new set of tire chains, I had no problem doing it.
This guy is super nice and I got the sense that none of them over there are out to try and sell you junk you don't need. Alvin actually talked me out of buying a way more expensive set of chains that I thought I would need just to be on the safe side. These RUD Grip 4x4s are solid and go for a long time while you're taking care of them and using them correctly. That's what I was looking for; not a cheap throw-away set that gets thrashed after a couple uses.
Traction's great, and they're not too heavy either. They come in a nifty bag with a handle that makes them easier to carry if you need to carry them a bit. Make sure you've got the right clearance (almost never an issue for trucks) cause these don't work on cars or trucks that you need s clearance on. Alvin told me to contact my truck's manufacturer; from there, I figured out I was good.
All in all, I invested a good amount of time researching the right company and the right set of chains. Out of all the ones I found, I liked these the best, and I'm glad I got them.

I had a pair of Laclede cable chains that I broke in no time. I was googling "truck tire chains" and found this site. Seems like they do more trucks and SUVs here, so I bought this set here online that everyone is talking about. They arrived fast, I put them on, took them for a spin and I like the way they roll. Pretty smooth. Look a heck of a lot better than the cable chains I had not too long ago.

I put thousands of miles on my Raptor every year, and come winter a lot of those miles are driven in the snow. When I got these chains I still had my old set with the cross links. I tried on these Grip 4xs and felt the difference. Gave the old set to Goodwill and haven't needed them because these Grips aren't showing any signs of wear significant wear. These chains look pretty nifty on my truck, they're working really well, and they didn't cost that much compared to what how much solid use I've gotten out of them. Great buy.

I had them ship two pairs of chains to me in Anchorage. I go snowboarding up in Girdwood not too far from here. So I take these chains from here to there and everywhere else! They're awesome, and I haven't had any problems with traction, getting them on quick, breaking, damaging my truck or any of that nonsense. These chains are tight!

Me and some friends were wheelin a few years ago and one of them had a set of chains that worked great and didn't take long at all to put on. I hunted him down to ask him what those were, but he couldn't remember what they were called.
So I was googling through different tire chain sets and found them on some random forums talking about how good these chains were. Just ordered them, so I haven't tried them on my rig yet. But I know how good they are - already used them on someone else's truck and they worked great.
