Tire Chains / Snow Chains for New & Used Tires
Monday, April 5th, 2010
If you go to the mountains a lot, then you know exactly what I’m talking about. Tire Chains allow for your vehicle to have more traction when you drive in snow or on ice. They’re attached to the vehicles “drive wheels”; so if you have Front Wheel Drive, then you may want to put the chains in the front. It’s actually a lot safer if you put it on all wheels, but that’s totally up to you. If you do happen to put these on your car, it can decrease how far you can drive with your gas & can also restrict the maximum speed that your car can go.
You should never drive too fast with chains on your tires; the fastest speed you should go is typically 30-50 MPH, which is not fast at all. You’re also not supposed to drive on dry roads for prolonged periods of time. When you’re driving in the snow & you don’t fasten the chains as tight as they’re supposed to be, they can come loose & actually wrap around the axle. You can buy these at any Used Tire Equipment store & they should work completely fine.
So, here’s some information that may or may not be useful to you. Either way, thanks for reading (:
