Tips for recommended use of tire chains


  • A torch, plastic garbage bag (or ground sheet) & (rubber) gloves will make
    fitting easier.
  • Do not even try using a jack to lift your car to put chains on. Icy conditions
    make it very easy for your car to slide off.
  • Diamond chains are recommended.
  • Chains change your car's handling. Take time to readjust your driving.
  • Do not put on chains before you need to, nor leave them on after you are clear
    of snow and ice areas. As well as wearing out your car, they damage the road
    surface.
  • Always practice installing tire chains before you actually need them. Tire sizes
    can vary by manufacturer therefore it is important to check for proper fit before
    the actual need arises.
  • Tire chains are not to be used on snow tires.
  • Never exceed 30 MPH while the chains are installed. Accelerate slowly and
    evenly.
  • Avoid spinning your tires.
  • The life of your chains will vary according to road conditions, driving speed
    and individual driving habits.
  • The following are activities that can cause unnecessary wear to tire chains:
    o Locking your wheels when braking
    o Driving on bare pavement that is not covered with snow or ice
    o Hitting curbs
    o Installing the chains improperly
  • Tire chains are designed only to provide extra traction in severe winter weather
    emergencies. Drivers should always exercise caution and observe driving
    conditions during hazardous weather.
  • In the event that a cross-chain should break, immediately pull off the road to a
    safe place and remove, or tie back the cross chain. Do not continue driving
    with a broken cross chain.
  • Vehicle wheel-well clearance for traction devices is the responsibility of the
    automobile manufacturer. Please refer to your vehicle's owner manual for more
    details.
  • Use tire chains only as a traction device.

    2. Tire chains usually aren't necessary for 4x4s and sport utility vehicles, except in places where they're required by law. Check traffic rules in your area and beware of exceptions for unusually harsh conditions.

    3. If you live in an area that receives a lot of snowfall or ice storms, tire chains are an important part of your winter driving arsenal. There are many choices on the market, ranging from traditional tire chains to cables and fabric boots for your car.
