How to use tire snow chain correctly

Tire snow chain is specially designed for automobile safety. The special rough surface of the snow chain is used to increase the friction force of the road surface. Usually, it protects the tires against the snow and muddy road conditions, prevents the tire slipping and ensures the normal driving of the vehicle. In particular, snow chain can effectively ensure the smooth driving and safety of the vehicle on the snow covered road in winter.

The principle of snow chain is to increase the friction force of tire on snow surface, so as to achieve the braking effect. Because the force interaction is mutual, the tire snow chain has certain damage to the tires.

To use tire snow chain correctly, we should pay attention to the following aspects:

1. Better install the chain before the trip, temporary parking installation is more troublesome than early installation, also is not safe. The vehicle should be suspended in safety zone before installation and disassembly. If you are on the busy road, you need to set up the traffic warning signs.
