Do snow chains affect tires?

Car anti-skid chains are car safety products specially designed for car driving safety. The special rough surface of the anti-skid chain is used to increase the friction with the road surface, usually in snow and muddy road conditions, to protect the tires, prevent the tires from slipping, and ensure the normal driving of the vehicle. Especially on snow-covered roads in winter, it can effectively ensure the smooth running and driving safety of the vehicle.

The principle of the anti-skid chain is to increase the friction between the tire and the snow surface, so as to achieve the braking effect. The effect of the force is mutual, so the anti-skid chain of the automobile tire has certain damage to the automobile tire.

Pay attention to the following aspects when using anti-skid chains:

1. It is best to install anti-skid chains before travel. Installing anti-skid chains during temporary parking is more troublesome than installing them in advance, and it is not conducive to safety. Park the vehicle in a safe area before installation and disassembly. If you have to be on a busy road, you need to set up the necessary traffic warning signs.

2. Do not install anti-skid chains in the case of flat tires.

3. Choose the right size. Snow chains also have size restrictions, which are suitable for different wheel sizes and tire widths. Pay attention to choosing snow chains that match the wheel size.

4. After installing the anti-skid chains, the driving speed generally should not exceed 40Km/hour, and pay attention to avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration as much as possible. Please remove the anti-skid chains in time when the vehicle enters the road surface where anti-skid chains are not required.

5. Snow chains are not designed for trailers and tractors.

6. Confirm whether your car is front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive, because the chain must be installed on the set of tires that play a major role.
