Do Snow Tires Need Anti-Slip Chains?

[MacEmily]

Whether snow tires require anti-slip chains depends on the road icing conditions. If the ice is severe, anti-slip chains should be installed. Below is more information about snow tires: 1. Introduction: Snow tires are suitable for use in snowy conditions. These rubber tires have metal studs to enhance traction. In colder regions prone to snow accumulation, such as Russia, people use these tires during winter. When driving on snow-covered roads, it is best to use snow tires (snow-tire), as their treads have more fine grooves to improve grip. 2. Principle: The tread that contacts the road surface uses a special silicon-based compound to ensure the tire remains soft even at extremely low temperatures, providing excellent ice traction. The tread pattern typically employs cross Z-shaped siping technology, which not only improves braking performance on snow/ice and shortens braking distance but also delivers ideal traction.
