Hello, neighbor. This is Curt with etrailer. Today, we're gonna take a look at these assisted tensioning tire chains. We're gonna see how they fit on our 2022 Airstream Interstate 19 with 245/75 R16 tires. So when you're out traveling around in your Airstream, if you're taking it back and forth across the country, if you're going through mountains at all, there are plenty of areas and stretches of road out there where even if you don't actually have to use them at the time, you're still required to be carrying tire chains with you. And of course, if you are going through one of those areas, there's obviously a reason for it and there's a chance that you're gonna have to use them.
So this particular set of tire chains from Titan is gonna make it really easy for you to install them and not only that, be able to get around safely in that snow and ice. These are a manganese-nickel alloy, so they're extremely durable. These are gonna be chains that last you a long time and they're gonna be very corrosion resistant. So you're not gonna have to worry about pitting and things like that, that you might get with some other alloys, especially when you're out on those wet and salty roads. It's in a diamond pattern, which means it's going to have a link going down the center of the tire here.
The thing that that gives you an advantage with is going to be kind of a lot of the traction control. So it's gonna eliminate a lot of side-to-side sliding that you might still experience from a ladder style, which means the links are just gonna go straight across like a ladder. Those are great for forward and backward traction, but they don't do as much for the lateral movement. They also tend to be a bumpy ride where you're gonna get a much smoother ride out of these. They have kind of a square link edge to them, so that's really gonna help you bite into that ice.
And because of that, this style of chain is gonna be great for whenever you're going over terrain where the ground kind of switches on you. You're dealing with heavy snow and then a patch of ice. Chains like this are gonna help make that a lot easier. And one of the things I really like about these chains is the bag that it comes in. So it has a divider for each of your chains.
That's gonna help keep them from getting tangled up. This is gonna be a good place to store them and keep them dry when you're not using them. And it's pretty compact, so you can carry it with you pretty much anywhere. And these chains are also assisted tensioning. Now assisted tensioning just means that you're gonna have a tensioner here that's gonna be able to keep these tight on your wheel. These are a lot easier to install than your manual tensioning chains. So let me show you how we did that right now. So when it comes to installation, just a couple things to go over first. First, I always think it's a good idea to have gloves on whenever you're handling tire chains, for two main reasons. One, while the edges of these aren't necessarily razor sharp, they do have an edge. They're intended to bite into ice. They do have an edge. And you can get your fingers tangled up or pinched in there, maybe get a small cut, so you wanna avoid that. The other thing is, is chances are, and by that I mean 99.9% of a chance, when you're putting these on, it's going to be in some bad, cold, snowy, icy, nasty weather. So practicing being able to get these on and off of your tire with gloves on, I just think is good practice. But the first step to the installation is always going to be when you take your chains out of the case, lay them out flat just like this. What you're trying to do is make sure you're spreading the chain out, making sure there's no kinks or twists or anything like that in them. We also want to kind of lay it out in a way that it is going to install properly. So at the end here, we've got these loops that are attaching our cable to our chains. The open end of that loop when you're laying them down like this, we wanna make sure they are facing downward. That way, when we put these onto the tire, the open end of this is gonna be facing away from the sidewall. Now the next thing we wanna do is feed our chain around the back of the tire and get ready to put them on. So on this end
