1. Understanding Snow Chain Technology and How It Works
Snow chains, also known as tire chains, are essential safety equipment used in winter to improve traction and control of vehicles on icy or snowy roads. They are made up of metal chains that wrap around tires, providing additional traction on slippery surfaces. When properly installed, snow chains improve a vehicle’s handling and stability, reducing the risk of accidents. It is essential to note that snow chains are not a replacement for winter tires, and should only be used when driving on particularly challenging roads or when driving in mountainous areas.
