Safe driving even in winter<\/h2><\/div>

Snow chains are an indispensable aid in winter road conditions. They increase traction, improve the braking effect and ensure that your vehicle is safe on the road even in snow, ice or slush.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Robust snow chains for tough use<\/h2><\/div>

In our store you will find snow chains in various designs – from standard to reinforced models. Different link thicknesses and designs offer the right solution for different operating conditions. So you are ideally prepared when the road becomes slippery and additional traction is required.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Expert Guide: Everything You Need to Know About Snow Chains<\/h2><\/div>\n
\n

<\/i><\/i><\/span>What are snow chains used for, and how do they work?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
Snow chains increase traction in snow, ice, and slush, and improve braking and acceleration performance. The chain links dig into the snow, providing significantly more traction than the tires alone\u2014an important safety benefit on slippery roads.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

<\/i><\/i><\/span>How do I find the right chain size for my tires?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
Snow chains must fit the tire size exactly. The tire dimensions (width, section width, and rim diameter) indicated on the tire sidewall are the determining factors. Only with the correct size will the chains fit securely and be easy to install.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Which version is the right one\u2014standard or reinforced?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
For occasional use, a lighter standard model is usually sufficient. For intensive winter use, high mileage, or heavy-duty applications, reinforced links are the better choice, as they are more durable and can withstand greater loads.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

<\/i><\/i><\/span>What is a track chain, and when is it useful?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
Track chains are particularly easy to install and suitable for many standard applications. They can be installed relatively quickly and are therefore practical when chains need to be put on occasionally and without complications. The optimal design depends on the intended use.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

<\/i><\/i><\/span>What should you keep in mind when installing snow chains and driving with them?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
Chains should fit snugly and evenly and should be retightened after a short drive. When chains are installed, a reduced maximum speed applies\u2014please refer to the chain manufacturer\u2019s instructions. On snow-free roads, the chains should be removed to protect both the chains and the tires.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

<\/i><\/i><\/span>On which axle are snow chains installed?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
Snow chains should always be installed on the drive axle, since that is where power is transmitted to the road. For commercial vehicles, you must also ensure there is sufficient clearance in the wheel well and follow the vehicle manufacturer\u2019s specifications.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

<\/i><\/i><\/span>How do you properly maintain and store snow chains?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
After use, chains should be cleaned of snow, salt, and dirt and dried thoroughly to prevent corrosion. If stored in a dry place and checked for wear and damaged links before each season, they will remain in good working order for a long time.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Stay mobile and safe even in winter!<\/h2><\/div>

With the right chains for your vehicle, you can increase traction, protect tires and ensure a controlled drive on slippery roads. Simply select, buy conveniently online and get off to a reliable start through the winter.<\/p>\n<\/div>
