Snow chains are used in winter to improve vehicle tire traction. Their use allows the car to move confidently enough on ice or rolled snow. To purchase such devices, contact a specialized auto parts store.
Benefits of Using Chains
The ability to maintain control of the vehicle while driving in difficult conditions.
Ensuring the passability of the car when moving through puddles and mud, including considerable depth.
Devices are easy to install. Of course, you will need some skills, already from the second or third time you will perform this procedure completely freely. The cost of chains is not too high. This makes them (like Ford Focus 2 brake pads) affordable for a wide range of car enthusiasts with different income levels.
Varieties and design features
As a rule, snow chains are made of metal. You can also purchase rubber or plastic products that not only give the vehicle stability on an icy road, but also make it possible to move at high speed. However, it should be said that the period for which they manage to wear out is significantly less than that of metal products.
Snow chains also differ in pattern. So, its traditional variety is the “ladder” (the braid is performed perpendicular to the direction of rotation of the wheel). They are effective in mud but tend to dig into soft snow. For driving in deep snow, chains with a “triangle” or “diagonal” pattern are well suited (the latter is also equally well suited for ice and mud). Honeycomb pattern keeps wheels in constant contact with the road.
