Spider Bungee (pair)
Canadian Spec V-Bar is an aggressive ladder-style chain for pickups and SUVs. Each link on the cross chain that comes in contact with the road has several 'V' shaped links welded in place, working like an ice pick to give great traction, even on ice. The Canadian Spec means the thickness of the chain is thicker than usual, so not for lowered trucks! Please make sure you have at least 3-fingers between the tire and any other vehicle surface (fenders etc). This is the most aggressive and highest quality chain we sell.


  • Sold in pairs

Canadian Spec V Bar Light Truck
I am a logger and required something to get me into the logging site after a weekend of deep snow fall and ice to access the skidder to plow. These chains take about 30 minutes to put on properly but once on stay amazingly tight and preform like nothing I have ever used in the past. Very heavy duty commercial grade chain. I went on the web site to get directions how to put them on since no directions came with the chains, Following the directions is an absolute must to get them tight so as to not damage brake lines etc. Well worth the money, very fast shipping by the company as well would highly recommend to anyone

Great Chains
Bought these for my 1984 F150 plow truck. This truck plows my 4 km driveway and these chains allow me to plow up several hills. The free upgrade to the alloy U grooves was excellent. I didn't think there was anything better than the V-bar but these are.

Heavy Metal
I think I'm the only guy in Thornhill with tire chains. I practiced putting them on in my driveway, and got some strange looks from the neighbours. Little do they know I'm heading out west in January, and carrying these chains for insurance. The seem good. I hope I won't need them though!

Life Savers
These chains have worked awesome so far. Tried them out as soon as I picked them up on a hay run for the horses. Had to climb and very long and steep hill full of switch backs with a heavy load. They got me out and my truck didn't even feel like it was working hard and it does even on summer roads going up that hill. Love these chains and regret not having them sooner.

Chains
Purchased these chains for my 2013 Dodge Ram to use when plowing snow. I was surprised how easy they are to install. They have made a huge difference. Much easier on the truck with the tires dgging in.

Where to start , the chains themselves are a life saver . We could not get our equipment through the snow and mud and were at a deadlock . Now nothing can stop us . My Dodge 1500 is like a tank . First time we got 4 sets on in 15 mins , now were down to 10 mins for 4 tires . Best customer service I have ever experianced anywhere hands down . I explained we were in a jam , they tracked them down for me same day and shipped them within hours to Ontario . 3 days later we were up and running , definately get the cam locks there so usefull . I cant thank you guys enough .

Great quality
Bought these chains for my 2018 off road Tacoma. Great great fit, much easier to install compared to cables... absolutely love the cambers and the additional elastic, nothing moves at all. Hade purchased for my winter tire that are nokian lt2 245-75-16 and the also fit the original tire size that are 265-70-16 which are an overall same size. I hilly recommend this product.

Excellent product. Fits on tires and really works. Drove my jeep tj up a 12% dirt road up and down hill on pure ice and deep snow while putting chains on front wheels and putting on 4Lo. No problem.

wanted an aggressive tire chain but due to the small size of the tires was unable to find. Lorrie got me the correct chains and the delivery was surprisingly fast. Chains fit and work perfectly

Awesome Tire Chains!
I ordered these tire chains on line. Shipping was super quick. These tire chains are top quality and they very easy to install and adjust. I ordered these for my 06 Dodge Cummins and I am sure my old Dodge could climb a brick wall with these chains on!! If you live in snow country do yourselves a big solid and get these chains.

Great Product
I actually got the diamondback set, they were good enough to change my order at the last moment. Much appreciated. Unfortunately I get to try them out last night. They worked awesome!! Saved my butt. My only complaint is sort of my fault, I meant to try them out the day before in the afternoon on my driveway. But no instead I did it in the dark kneeling in a ditch. They fit perfect, didn't ride that rough and turned my work van into an ice chewing monster. One thing, maybe pack them in seperate plastic bags for shipping.

Quality product.
After sizing my chains to fit my application, I am pleased with the quality of these chains. Several cam locks to take up slack and simple to install using the supplied tensioning tool. They are now in the back of my truck in case I ever need them. Like the Boy Scout motto:'Be Prepared'!

Insurance policy
These chains are my insurance policy and ever since I started using V-Bar Chains I have never gotten stuck in snow, mud or ice. But lest start at the beginning. This is my third set of V-Bar Chains (new truck differed tiers hence new V-Bar Chains). This is the first time I purchased the V-Bar Chains from "Canadian Chains". The service from “Canadian Chains” is first class, quick response on my e-mail request and a very fast delivery of the V-Bar Chains and included were a couple free gifts. Thanks. I inspected my new V-Bar Chains from Canadian Chains and fitted them on my truck, the V-Bar chains are fitting well and appear of superior quality over the previous two sets I owned. At this point I have not used the new V-Bar Chains on or off the road and hopefully I never will, but I know from past experiences that if I ever will need chains that I have purchased the best chains money can buy!

Rugged and Well Made
Awesome chains. Good fit and better than expected. It's almost like I'd be glad to get stuck and have to use these chains. Customer service was prompt and courteous. A good piece of mind and investment.

heavy duty
These are very heavy duty chains. Tested them on icy off road trails in Alberta (lost knife trail). Used 2WD most of the time and had no issues. That said, you must have enough clearance, about 2.5 inches and you must wire the loose chain to prevent damage. I only have 1.5" of clearance and the chain hits the suspension. I'm installing wheel spacers to fix the problem. Customer service is amazing and I got the shipment in just a few days. Truly impressed.

Mr
Purchased these chains this year and quite happy, both with the quality and the design. Bought one pair only to try and on my one ton dually they were awesome. Had to remove some links to fit my tires but once set very easy to install. Love the tensioners and with the tool makes everything a snap. First task was hauling round bales down into coulee in the dump trailer and never had a problem. Definitely will be purchasing another pair for those bad snow/ice days, 4 around would almost make me invincible (famous last words). Highly recommend for working chains in rough country.
