How many snow chains are needed for a two-wheel drive vehicle?
1 Answers
Snow chains need to be installed on all four tires for relatively better stability. Reasons: Installing them on only two tires can easily lead to fishtailing, compromising driving safety. Snow chains should not be installed on emergency or spare tires, as these differ from the vehicle's full-size tires. Snow chains are generally designed for full-size tires, and using them on spare tires can accelerate tire wear. Snow chain installation: Lift the drive wheels with a jack; bring both ends of the snow chain together above the wheel; hook the inner side of the wheel with the snow chain hook; pull the outer side of the chain mesh outward by hand and attach it to the outer hook; secure both ends of the snow chain with hooks; install the thinner side ropes diagonally.
