Snow Chain Pricing $40 to $100: Semi-auto or “assisted” fitting tire chains will cost between $60 and $80, while self-centering chains with auto-tensioning will be a little bit more expensive for an average passenger vehicle.

How much should you spend on snow chains?

If you want snow chains that are easier to put on, you’ll typically spend about $60 to $120. Snow chains for larger vehicles will exceed $120 and could even cost as much as $200.

Do you need to put snow chains on all four tires?

Ideally, you should put tire chains on all four tires for all types of vehicles. If chains are only put on the front tires, the back of the vehicle can react unpredictably during driving and braking, while if chains are only put on the rear tires, the steering ability of the vehicle is jeopardized.
