In a tire chain made of fiber removably installed to a tire, it is a tire chain made of a knit fabric 10 in which at least a portion covering a contact patch of a tire (knit fabric portions 11a of a contact patch of a tire) is knit fabric. A relationship between a space area (S) of a mesh of knit fabric (knit fabric portions 11a of a contact patch of a tire) and a width (W) of a strand of the knit fabric when the tire chain made of a knit fabric is installed to a tire satisfies 2 ‰¦ S 1/2 /W ‰¦ 15. A thickness of a burl portion of the knit fabric (knit fabric portion 11a) is three times or less as a thickness of a net leg portion of the knit fabric.
