What is the function of snow chains?

Anti-skid chain can effectively enhance the adhesion of vehicles on the snowy road, ensure the stability of driving on the snowy road, and has the functions of starting without scratching, driving without sideslip and short braking distance.

Install snow chains before going out, but don't install them after encountering icy roads, because temporary installation of snow chains is more troublesome than early installation, which is not conducive to safety. Before installation and disassembly, the vehicle should be parked in a safe area. If you are on a busy road, you need to set up the necessary traffic warning signs. Don't install snow chains when the tire leaks.

When the vehicle enters the road without using the snow chains, please remove the snow chains in time.

Snow chains are not designed for trailers and tractors. Due to freezing weather and road snow, many cars are equipped with snow chains to avoid accidents.
