How many tires are snow chains installed on?
1 Answers
Snow chains are installed on all 4 tires. Their function is to effectively enhance the vehicle's traction on snowy roads, ensuring stability when driving on ice and snow. They offer the advantages of preventing wheel spin when starting, avoiding side slip during driving, and shortening braking distance. Based on structure, snow chains can be divided into two types: 1. Pre-connected cover-type snow chains; 2. Cross-installed individual snow chains. Precautions for installing snow chains: 1. After installation, inspect the snow chains to ensure they are properly fitted; 2. Choose snow chains that match the tire size to ensure safety during use; 3. Park the vehicle on a flat surface away from traffic, turn on the hazard warning lights, and place a triangular warning sign behind the vehicle; 4. Before installing snow chains, make sure to turn off the engine and engage the parking brake to prevent the vehicle from moving during installation, which could affect proper fitting.
