Best 2014 Toyota Highlander Tire Chains

I purchased the cables for a family trip to Telluride, CO. I am glad i did as the day before NW Texas, Colorado, and New Mexico we’re hammered with a massive winter storm. The cables were exactly what we needed to get us safely to our destination. The cables have held up flawlessly and have worked perfectly on our winter time family trips since then! I was pleasantly surprised on how well our 2wd 2017 Toyota Highlander performed with the snow cables on, and how well I was able to maintain traction and control. We took some of the sketchiest yet most beautiful roads on or way to Colorado! I led point with our caravan of 5 vehicles, and had the fewest issues with traction. I literally passed hundreds of vehicles, some more capable than our little 2wd rig. Thank you all for providing such a great product that helped keep my family safe!!!

Received our cables for our new 2018 Toyota Highlander Limited and will be ordering the rubber adjusters shortly. Prompt delivery and excellent service so far. Looking forward to using the cables in February. Thanks etrailer!

I just received these tire chains yesterday. Yes they Fi and are easy to install. I haven’t a clue as to whether they will stand up in the snow, but I like their design. Let’s wait 4-5 months from now when they will be put to use, before asking for a review.

I purchased these chains a year ago but used them for the first time on a ski trip to Lake Tahoe in early February 2019. The winter storm had dumped 6 feet of snow by the time we were to drive home. Snow chains were required to drive back out of the area. My husband had them placed on the car by a local tire store by our hotel (there is a learning curve to place these chains on properly) and proceeded to drive down the mountain. They work rather well to stabilize our car for the drive. We have an all-wheel Toyota Highlander Hybrid so had them place the chains on the front tires as instructed. Later down the mountain, I personally removed them after we got out of the snowy area. They were a little tricky getting them off but since I had practiced at home putting them on and off again, I had some experience. I used to live in Illinois so have had lots experience with older type chains- just drive over and connect which are just as easy to remove them when your done with them. Good for short slow drives. These 'quick cable attach' chains (as the tire people called them) are a little more challenging but seem more secure once on than the old type for a long slow drive out of the mountains. Just remember there is a learning curve to attaching them correctly so PRACTICE attaching and detaching them BEFORE you get into the snow and really need to put them on in a hurry. The clam shell carrying case (sturdy and well made) that the chains come in is very convenient and will also hold a pair of gloves, knee pads and extra multi-arm rubber tire chain adjusters, if you think you need them (FYI each is shaped like a six-armed octopus LOL). The case has pictured instructions and to help you with attaching the chains. You can also access videos from their website for learning purposes. I would have rated these chains a 5 star except for the learning curve and not super ease of getting them on and off for a new user.

I bought this for my 2017 Toyota Highlander Hybrid and used it this past weekend to go to Big Bear. Installation was very simple. The chains itself worked pretty well in the snow and they fit like a glove around the tire in my opinion. What I liked most about it is that you don't have to drive over it to install it. Just drape it over the tire and connect. Also, I found it very cool that the parts where you have to connect were color coded to help you with the install.

The tire chains for our Highlander arrived yesterday. Fortunately in western Oregon we only need chains if we decide to go over the mountains to the ski areas or the eastern part of the state and it is snowing. With luck they may never come out of the trunk. Thank you for your service.

I live in Southern California so the need for chains is only when we want to go into the mountains. I have over the last 20+ years owned 3 different sets of chains. I decided to splurge on buying these because they looked so easy to install. I only practiced putting them on one time before heading into the mountains with my family. Chains were required and in less than ideal conditions (wind blowing, wet snow and temperature around freezing and being on the side of the road, it took me about 5 minutes per tire to install them. If I practiced putting them on three or four times, I am confident I could cut this time down in half. I know these are expensive compared to other manufacturer's products, but am I happy I bought these chains. They are super easy to install and uninstall. I used to dread having to put on chains, now it is no big deal and I will not hesitate to do it again. My vehicle is a 2018 Toyota Highlander.

I got these for my 2016 Highlander for travel around Portland in the winter. Last winter wasn't very icy, so I only needed them twice. They were surprisingly difficult to get on... it's almost like they're a tiny bit too small. On the plus side, I don't think that any of them broke. I have a smaller pair of these for my Leaf and they fit great, so I think that it's specific to this model.

Tire chains look to be of very good quality and made of heavy duty materials. Haven't used them yet.

Delivery was quick, have not used them yet but they look good.

Works well, I suggest adding additional tensioner if you don’t want any slack. Loved the product

Arrived as scheduled. Packaged well. I did a test install, and all seems good. Seems like a quality product. Installed on my Ram Promaster 3500 Class B van.

These tire chains have been wonderful. They are easy to put on and even easier to take off. I use them on a very icy steep gravel driveway (more than a half mile in length). They provide excellent traction and break up the ice so I can use my other vehicles on the driveway. I like these so much that I purchased them for two other vehicles.

Competitive price. Easy to install. Works great on my 2021 Toyota Highlander Platinum with 235/55R20 tires.

These chains were easy to install, particularly after viewing the installation video on the etrailer.com website. The best part of the product is the tightening cams!

The order was handled very fast, and I got the snow chains in no time. Those are chains for big vehicle, they are heavy and sturdy. Comparing to diamond pattern chains that I had perilously, the new chains almost impossible to tangle. It takes just 30 seconds to lay them correctly on the ground. In my garage I put them as instructed in the video on etrailer web page. But in real life scenario, on highway shoulder, I would probably lay them down on the ground, drive 2-3 feet forward and try to close the chains on top of the wheel (versus crawling on the ground and trying to reach behind the wheel). The tension system is simple and intuitive. Comparing again to diamond pattern chains, this tension system is much more robust. The only downside of those chains, they miss caring bag. The bag they where shipped in, has no zipper, and cannot be closed once open.

Nicole was a great help and hope she received credit for the sale.

These Cable Chains were the easiest to install of any others I've had. The instructions that came with the chains weren't great, but I watched the video on etrailer which was very straight forward. I watched the video 2 times then took the chains out of the bag and had both on in less than 5 minutes.

Fit perfectly on my toyota sienna 20in rims when I thought tire chains weren’t possible with that tire model. I had asked a question on their site to confirm that theyd fit and they were super responsive. I received the chains fast and they were good about emailing me notifications. Chains worked great especially with tensioner, I just used some thick foam padding to prevent any possible scratches to my wheels. Very happy with my purchase and would def buy from E-trailer again!

I ordered the snow cables for my Subaru 2018 Outback and received them in 3 days! Your customer service is outstanding! I reordered a second set and received them in 4 days. I just had a chance to use them in Atlanta when we had ice and snow. I used only one set on the front and they worked perfectly. i watched the etrailer installation video for a Subaru and it made the easy to install. It took me less then 5 minutes in my garage. (Outside in the snow and ice might take longer). I drove around Atlanta in the ice and snow and the cables performed flawlessly. I plan to buy a set for my daughter. Thanks again!

I have driven on these chains for a year. Here are my thoughts. They are probably good for someone who just needs to drive on a chain to get from their chalet to the ski lift while looking fly. However we own land in the mountains of Colorado about three miles up a private road that is unmaintained. We routinely face 6-8 inch drifts, steep inclines, and hairpin turns. When you can actually get this chain on, it works fine. However, after the first time, you will basically never get this chain on properly again. The first time I put them on, I was in love. Then I tried to take them off after getting a mix of heavy snow and dirt into the release canal. When you hit the quick release, it goes up about a quarter of the way, and you have to reach behind the wheel and pull to get the wire to release. From there, everything goes downhill. The wire stretches a little from having to pull it off the wheel. Then when you step on the quick tighten, it tightens, unless the snow underneath is too icy/firm, then it only tightens sort of. You can take it off and retry, but that loosens the wire a little bit more. Soon enough, the chain isn't actually tight against the wheel. But it stays on. Which is fine if you don't spin. But if you hit a spot where you spin, then the chain goes shooting off the back like a bola. You can put it back on, but it doesn't ever tighten down well enough again. Last time I went up to our property, I got in fine, losing one chain along the way, but when I tried to get out, got stuck three times because I couldn't keep the chains on my tires. Trying to get them on in deep snow, under tire spun icy snow, don't bother. TL;DR, great if you have to use them once or twice in cute, clean, snow. Anything of actual need, get different chains.

There is a learning curve to installation, even though these chains seem well-made and easier to use than other types. It can be difficult to center them on the tire. You have to have normal arm strength to lift and place them correctly.

I have yet to need the chains but I dry fitted one and drove a little bit to see how it would perform. So far, so good. I actually and looking forward to the chance to "need" them for real. I have purchased many sets of ladder chains over the years to fit trucks I used. They were such a pain to install that I only ever did put them on one time because they were so difficult to install. These went on girly easy for a first time experience and I would reccomend them based on that one aspect alone.

Great product and excellent service. I originally ordered a chain from Konig and chose expedited shipping because I needed them to arrive in time for an upcoming trip to the Sierras. It was on a Sunday afternoon and within an hour I received a call from someone at etrailer letting me know that the product I had ordered was on back order and suggested this Titan model which was in stock (and less expensive!). They shipped the next day and I received them in time. I did use them on my 2018 Highlander on the trip. They installed easily, fit well and the traction was excellent even when driving up hills on local Tahoe roads in a major snowstorm. Highly recommended.

Great product and fantastic service too. I have only tried on the chains and have not driven in them yet but the case and quality of the items were very good and they were very cheap too. After my order they contacted me because the items were still on route to their warehouse and could not be distributed however they kept me in the loop all the way and provided a tracking number too. They came in just over a week so considering that they had a delay on receiving the item at their end and it had to cross east to west coast plus free delivery thrown in I was very impressed with the service I received. Apologies but can't comment on the actual chains as I haven't used them in anger yet however they were really easy to fit without the instructions, takes about a minute and all the different parts are colour coded. The Alloy chains are rust preventative but they feel heavy duty with a good all round pattern for extra forward and leeway grip, not a tacky or cheap feeling product, the case is pretty heavy when packed away so quite happy so far. Hope this helps.

Received the chains Monday, had them on and where using them Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Up and down our steep curvy 1/4 mile driveway to the road with no problems. They install easier than ladder type though easy is not a word that describes tier chain installation or use honestly. 5 stars! Thumbs up! Great product!

I used these chains for all 4 wheels of an old toyota pick up to be able to plow my Montana driveway, which is quite steep. The chains are good quality, worked very well, and were easy to install. For me, with the benefit of a dedicated vehicle for plowing, I only need to put chains on at the beginning of winter. But, they were easy enough that it wouldn't be so difficult if one had to remove them periodically. Good traction for the truck.

Great Quality. Quick Installation and very easy to take off. Self-tensioning worked like a charm. I would definitely recommend them. I bought these to use on my 2023 Rav4 TRD Off-Road OEM Falken AT Tires. I highly recommend installing them at home a few times before heading up. Watching the etrailer videos on YouTube was also a huge help.

I just received the chains so have not done a test fit yet or found out how they work. What I can say is that the etrailer staff has been great from answering my questions before purchase and keeping me updated on the delivery status. This team knows what quality service is and how to do it. Thank you Adam E, George J and I apologize but I don't remember the other two individuals I saw that picked and packaged the product. Great Job!!!

It worked on our Ascent but just make sure to adjust and tighten as needed. For us we needed to stop the car at least 2 times to tighten as the chain was banging against the struts. After tightening, the interference was reduced and got us up and down Donner Pass Road. When I got home, the chain only rubbed some paint off the struts, which I spray painted over to prevent rusting. It worked for us but expect some rubbing on an Ascent. Note we did purchase and installed a tensioner to complete the installation.

I have purchased few types of tire chains over many years, some were for looks others were for function, others were for "dong the job" My latest set purchased from ETRAILER.COM were the best, basically ease of mounting and drivability is better then other more expensive types.

This product replace my 12 years old snow track. The main side cables and x-cables/roller are twice as large in diameter. Much heavier but draped over the wheels with no problem. Installation is simple as described on your video. Fit is good. I am anxious to try idriving with it on snow and ice. But, I don’t drive when the weather is not permitting and the road is not clear. But, it is a good feeling to have a new snow chain with you instead of the old rusty and twisted one. The 5 arms tensioner are much better than my single loop. Just a couple of cons: 1. The latch on the outside cable connectors are difficult to lock and unlock in place. Plier to compress it to lock in position and flat head screw driver to open it from lock position are good help. 2. The red “S” clips that is right next to the connector assembly does not work. The cable is too stiff and the cable connector assembly gets in the way in securing excess cables from slapping around. Place the clip on the next link to secure. You will end up with an inch high bulge on the cable so make sure you have enough clearance inside the wheel well when the wheels is fully turned right and left. I have plenty of room so this is not and issue - I hope! “Much thanks to Carol C. who assisted me in ordering the parts. Your professionalism and product knowledge made my life easy.” Stay WARM!

I shopped around and you will NEVER beat this price. Clear instructions (video on etrailer was super helpful also). Great carry bag! A nice product to have "just in case." Hopefully I will never have to use them...

Haven't used tire cables yet … but … did install one to check the fit and look. And the thing fit perfectly on my 2019 F150 with 245/70r17 tires. Even look pretty good too! I especially like that the cables can be put on as the truck sets - no need to lay them out and back over them. And the carrying bag is nice - keeps everything together and able to be stored under a seat, in the bed, or wherever. I thought about getting chains with v-bars … but didn't think I needed anything that aggressive - so the tire cables ought to do just fine in deeper snow, packed snow and maybe even on ice.

I bought these for an Audi SQ5. Turns out, they only fit in the back, there is no space, even for cables, in the front. On the rear, I had the cables snap twice within a day of driving, damaging my car. No thanks

I HAVE BOUGHT 3 PAIR OF CHAINS FROM etrailer AND GOT FAST SHIPPING ON ALL 3 PAIR . 2 DAYS EXC SERVIRE. THE LAST PAIR I BOUGHT WAS FOR MY UTV. THESE CHAINS WERE NOT MADE FOR THE UTV . I NEW THIS BEFORE I BOUGHT THEM . MY UTV HAS OVERSIZE TIRES ON IT AND ATV/ UTV CHAINS WANT FIT IT SO I BOUGHT THESE CHAINS , HAD TO CUT 10 INCHES OFF BUT THEY WERE WHAT I WANTED AND THEY WORK PERFIT.EXCELLENT SERVICE , THANKS etrailer.

Construction: solid Conditions of installation: snowing, below freezing w/ packed snow and ice Ease of installation: piece of cake! Function: up steep driveway, no problems Value: worth every penny

Fits well. Easy to put on and take off. Silicon spray on the red cables seems wise. Maria was amazing in customer service. I love etrailer. One thing I would change. Use fewer staples when packing the box. I had lots of staples in my Konig box, which I would liked to have kept nice with a $[XX] product. See photos
