13'' x 6 Arms Rubber Spider Tire Chain Tensioner, A Pair

Key Features

• 6-Arm Design for Even Chain Tension Distribution
  The six evenly spaced rubber arms radiate outward from the center steel ring, distributing tension uniformly across the tire chain at six anchor points. Even tension distribution prevents the chain from shifting to one side of the tire during use — the primary cause of chain slippage, uneven wear, and tire contact damage on commercial vehicles.
• Flexible Rubber Arms for Stretch and Retention
  Each 6-1/8" rubber arm stretches to reach the outer links of the tire chain and maintains consistent elastic tension throughout the drive. Rubber retains its flexibility in cold-weather conditions where synthetic alternatives can stiffen and lose their tensioning performance — keeping the bungee functional in the freezing temperatures where tire chains are most needed.
• Steel Hooks at Each Arm End for Secure Chain Attachment
  Every arm terminates in a steel hook engineered to attach securely to the outer links of the tire chain without slipping or disengaging under the vibration and flex of driving on snow, ice, or rough terrain. Six steel hook attachment points provide redundant security — if one hook shifts, the remaining five maintain chain position.
• Corrosion-Resistant Steel Center Ring
  The 2-1/8" diameter center ring is manufactured from corrosion-resistant steel, holding all six arms in their correct radial positions and maintaining the structural integrity of the bungee assembly through repeated use in wet, salty, and muddy conditions. A center ring that corrodes or deforms compromises the entire tensioner — steel construction prevents that failure mode.
• Compatible with Rim Sizes 11" to 16" and Tires 26" to 32" High
  Sized for the truck and SUV tire configurations most commonly used in commercial and heavy-duty applications, this spider bungee fits the majority of light truck, medium truck, and SUV tire chain setups without modification. Verify your rim and tire dimensions before ordering to confirm fitment.
• High-Visibility Yellow for Fast Field Identification
  The yellow color makes the spider bungee easy to locate and inspect on the tire during installation and post-drive checks — important in low-light conditions, roadside stops, and winter environments where visibility is reduced.
• Sold in Pairs for Complete Vehicle Coverage
  Each order includes two spider bungees, providing tensioners for both drive tires in a standard dual-tire chain installation. The pair format ensures you have the complete setup required for proper chain tensioning without sourcing individual units.

Installation Overview

1. Install and secure the tire chains on the tire properly before applying the bungee.
2. Locate the steel center ring and place it directly over the center of the wheel.
3. Stretch each arm outward and hook it onto the outer links of the tire chain, spacing arms evenly around the circumference.
4. Verify all six arms are securely hooked and evenly spaced for balanced tension.
5. Inspect tension after the first short drive and readjust any arm that has shifted.

Safety Notes

• Verify rim size (11" to 16") and tire height (26" to 32") before ordering to confirm proper fitment
• Inspect the spider bungee before each use for signs of rubber cracking, arm stretch fatigue, or hook deformation — replace when wear is detected
• Ensure all six arms are stretched evenly for balanced tension; uneven arm tension can cause chain shift during driving
• Readjust any arm that has loosened after the first short drive following installation
• California Proposition 65 Warning: This product can expose you to chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, visit www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

Best For

• Commercial truckers and fleet operators running tire chains on snow, ice, and muddy terrain who need reliable chain tensioning on every run
• Owner-operators and drivers who need a fast, tool-free tensioner that keeps chains seated without constant readjustment
• Fleet maintenance managers standardizing tire chain tensioner equipment across their light and medium truck fleet
• Heavy-duty SUV and truck owners in northern climates where tire chains are a seasonal operational requirement
• Any operator whose tire chains have shifted, slapped, or loosened during driving and needs a purpose-built tensioner to prevent it
