Why Sun City Towing

Tire Chain Installation in South Lake Tahoe, Done Right

During winter storms, Caltrans often requires chains or snow tires on Highway 50, Highway 89 and Highway 88. Putting chains on in the cold, in the dark, on the side of a road is hard and dangerous. Tell us your tire size and whether you have your own chains, and we will install them and check the fit. We can take them off later too.

When to call us for tire chain installation

Chain controls are in effect and you need to get moving
You have chains but do not know how to put them on
Your chains broke or came off
You are stuck in a lot because you cannot get traction
You need chains taken off after you get down the hill

How it works

Check road conditions and chain controls before you go.
Call (530) 725-5386 with your location, vehicle and tire size.
We install your chains and check they are tight.
Drive slowly with chains on, and call us if you need them removed.

Before you drive in winter, check road conditions and chain controls on Caltrans QuickMap.

Tire Chain Installation FAQs

Do you sell chains?
Bring your own if you can. Tell us when you call if you do not have any and we will tell you your options.

Do I need chains with AWD?
It depends on the control level and your tires. Check the current Caltrans chain control rules before you drive.

Can you put chains on at a chain control checkpoint?
We come to you where it is safe and legal to work, such as a parking lot or your driveway.
