Driving safely with snow chains | Explains

[@EndritVj]

Tip: After putting the chains on, drive for some 20 meters and then stop to check the chains again if they might need to be tightened some more.

@@chitralbikersclub9030 I do agree with the previous commenter said - it's not straight forward than some people make out to overcome fear of driving. Be cautious and seek advice from others. I looked round a few sites and discovered plenty of good help by searching google on sites like Roys Quick Fix. Good luck and hope you are successful!

[@IntelligentAtheism]

Is it enough to use it on one single tire?

[@ph11p3540]

@@IntelligentAtheism BOTH tires. Assymetrical traction is very dangerous on icy roads and your car will pull hard to one side. Make sure both drive wheels are chained

[@fartman10284]

Unless they are self-tensioning chains like the ones in the video

[@shaundixon3645]

Bought my first chains some years ago in Aldi for £20 . While waiting to pay an old man behind me said . “ take my advice and put them on and take them off a few times in good weather, don’t let first time be at side of road in a blizzard,after 1 mile get out and check/ tighten them , and don’t drive like you have chains on drive like you don’t” . The put them on and off I good weather was best advice

[@mrandretti6052]

Why not drive like u have chains on?

[@Planet-_-]

Meaning don't be reckless, thinking you're safe because of the chains.

[@vapeurdepisse]

Well you should definitely drive like you have chains on. You have to drive slow and brake early.

[@PotatoGunsRule]

I use a set of tire chains (steel links not cables) on my Honda Accord and I have found their effectiveness to be very impressive on icy or deep snow (14 inches of snow). I have gone through ditches and even through piled up snow by the plow to get around stuck 4x4 trucks. Last winter I employed a hydraulic floor jack to put the chains on, first one front wheel and then the other. The jack cut my tire chain installation time down from 45 minutes for both to just 15 minutes for both. I'll do the same thing this year.

[@PacificCircle1]

Chains have more bite.

[@buca9696]

It snowed for 8 more hours till 8 inches which is rare for U.K. was only cab working in Leeds . They lasted about 100 miles untill disintegrated beyond use . Best £20 I ever spent earned £300

[@Paraclete333]

What I learned from this instructions video: Read the manufacturer's instructions.

[@Thisisallwegot93]

Never had to use them… I live in Alabama… If it snows here, everybody is amazed and taking pictures, we get the day off work, the highways are backed up bumper to bumper with abandoned vehicles, emergency services are put on hold, everybody’s power goes out, trees fall down everywhere, and the stores run out of milk and toilet paper…

I couldn’t manage last night 2 AM to put on the chain 🙈 read the fucking manual they said… where i only find tiny black and white pictures about color coded chains. And one hook is actually different on the drawing than in reality. Now i see a nice and big color picture of an assembled chain on the front of the box that i see all i need. This video is also useful.

[@GuildF40]

do these ones not need to be driven forward to fit ? just slip over and clip on ?

[@user-os8sq3uh4n]

GuildF40 he doesn't say. Mine are auto-trac and you can just do like in the video. But many require manual tensioning more than once.

[@jonnyenough1531]

I lay them over the top of the tire, drive forward, connect them, drive forward a bit and re tension them

​@@nikolanikola8543The quattro system is unreliable? What do you mean?

[@AArrad]

@@martytdd1606 Audi designs high performance cars, but they are talking about long term reliability. A Subaru will generally outlast an Audi by a large margin (and most other German cars), even if both cars are well maintained throughout their life time. But a subaru is much cheaper for maintenance in general, plus other Japanese car brands(like Toyota, Lexus.) can run for a long time even when they have been poorly maintained (Subaru needs to be maintained though). An Audi (and other german brands like BMW, Mercedes, etc.) will not only be more expensive to maintain, and so much more expensive to fix if something breaks, they will ALSO not run for very long if they are poorly maintained.

[@DWREV]

Studded tyres only make sense if you're driving on really icy and snow-covered roads. It isn't advisable to drive them on tarmac once the snow melts. So, depends on where you live and how much snow you're dealing with. If it's small stretches of snow every now and again, snow chains make more sense.
