V-Bar Chains for Light-Duty Trucks
Peerless QG2816 V-Bar Tire Chains are built for light-duty trucks needing extra traction on snow and ice. The steel V-bar link design digs into packed surfaces for reliable grip. A CAM tensioning tool is included for straightforward installation. One pair covers a single axle.
Sustained Grip on Packed Snow and Ice
The V-bar cross members maintain biting edges through extended use on hard-packed winter roads. Steel construction resists deformation under the weight of a loaded truck during long hauls. Ladder-pattern spacing keeps the chain seated on the tread through repeated rotation cycles. The CAM tool allows periodic re-tensioning without removing the chain.
Fit Limits for Listed Tire Sizes
These chains fit only the listed sizes: 205/75-16, 205/80-16, 225/70-15, 27 x 8.50-14 and 8.00-16.5. The 15/64 in trade size and ladder pattern cannot stretch to unlisted dimensions. Vehicles requiring chains on all four wheels need a second pair. Clearance around brake lines and suspension components must be verified before driving.

Questions about this item
How much road noise and vibration do the 15/64 in V-bar links create during all-day highway driving?
The hardened steel V-bar cross members dig into packed snow and ice, so they transmit noticeable vibration and a rhythmic hum on bare pavement.
Which tools or hardware must I already have to install the included QG20095 CAM tensioning tool?
The CAM tool is self-contained; no separate wrenches, pliers or tensioners are required to tighten the ladder-pattern chains.
Will the 205/75-16 and 225/70-15 fitments clear the brake calipers on older light-duty trucks?
The chains are sized for the listed tire dimensions — 205/75-16, 205/80-16, 225/70-15, 27 x 8.50-14 and 8.00-16.5 — and the low-profile V-bar links typically clear factory calipers on those applications.
