Snow chains

Steel chains with a ratchet tensioner run across the tyre tread and are held by a textile strap threaded through an opening in the wheel rim. TPU segments with hardened steel studs fit the same way and, according to the manufacturer, break up ice and packed snow. You fit them on the spot without tools.

Lightweight anti-slip straps in plastic or nylon go on like cable ties and suit wheels with large enough openings. Textile emergency snow socks pull straight over the tyre, have no metal parts and won’t scratch the rim. Choose them by tyre size.

Fit the chains to the wheels on the driven axle, re-tighten them after a short distance, stick to the maximum speed given by the manufacturer and remove them on dry roads. Before buying, check your tyre size and the clearance in the wheel arch. Where a road sign makes snow chains compulsory, check that the type you choose meets local rules.
