It is very cold in winter. What kind of snow chains are safer to use when driving?
Installing snow chains needs to be installed after it snows, and removed in time on clean roads, which is troublesome and time-consuming and laborious. But the effect is much better than snow tires.
How to prevent 1 from slipping?
Due to freezing weather and road snow, many cars are equipped with snow chains to avoid accidents. The principle of snow chain is to concentrate the vehicle's gravity on several points of the chain, generating huge pressure, rolling through the snow layer and reaching the road surface, thus increasing the friction and increasing the safety factor of the vehicle.
Installing snow chains is a skill course that most people may not use for a lifetime. But it is very useful when you live in a cold climate. This may sound daunting, but in fact, installing and disassembling the chain is a very fast process, even in cold weather. 15-30 minutes, under the guidance of experts, you will be able to drive safely and reliably in winter.

Pay attention to the following aspects when using snow chains:
It is better to install snow chains before going out, rather than 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.
The size of snow chains is also limited, which is suitable for different wheel hub sizes and tire widths. Pay attention to choose the snow chains that match the wheel size.
After installing the snow chains, the driving speed should generally not exceed 40Km/ h, and attention should be paid to avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration as much as possible.
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.
In cold areas, some car owners make their own snow chains, which can temporarily solve the problem, but it is not worth popularizing.
