Should Snow Chains Be Installed on Front or Rear Wheels?
1 Answers
Whether snow chains should be installed on front or rear wheels depends on the vehicle type: for front-wheel drive vehicles, install chains on the front wheels; for rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive vehicles, install chains on all four wheels. The installation method for automotive snow chains is as follows: 1. Lay the snow chain flat and centered in front of the tire; 2. Drive the vehicle forward half the length of the snow chain so that the tire's contact point is at the center of the chain; 3. Fasten the hooks on the inner side of the tire, then fasten the hooks on the outer side of the tire; 4. Continue moving the vehicle forward to adjust the connection points under load during installation, then secure the snow chains firmly.
