SPECIAL REPORT: The Truth About Snow Chains

FACT #1: Dangers of Installing Conventional Snow Chains When tire chains are needed for a vehicle, weather conditions are usually at their worst with extremely cold temperatures, often accompanied by winds, snowing, and icy roads. The normal procedure for installing snow chains requires that the vehicle be rolled onto the chains. This may require that the person installing the chains lay down on the cold, wet, or snowy ground, sometimes on the shoulder of a busy roadside. Under harsh environmental conditions this can be very dangerous and may injure, crush or even kill the installer. Crushed fingers and feet are common accidents while applying snow chains due to cars unexpectedly rolling a few inches at the wrong time. Once the snow chains are finally installed, they must be adjusted every few miles to ensure that they are tight. If this is not done, or if it is done improperly, the snow chains can disrupt the normal operation of your car's tires, causing you to lose control. Many accidents each year can be attributed to the design and improper use of conventional snow chains. FACT #2: How Snow Chains Ruin the Road and Your Tires To understand why snow chains are so inferior, you first have to understand that they were created in 1904, and retain the same basic design to this day. Snow chains are made up of elements which are difficult to install, and if installed improperly, will without a doubt, tear up the road and ruin your tire sidewalls, treads, and wheel wells. As tires roll along the surface of the road, the chains make contact and the resulting friction causes the vehicle to gain a substantial amount of traction. While this is good for the driver, it is very bad for the roads. It can eventually lead to road scrapes, pot holes, and early repaving of otherwise perfect highways. If a tire chain is not adjusted properly every few miles, it becomes loose and can smack the inside of your wheel well and bounce off of the treads and sidewalls of your tires. This can lead to major damage to critical components and equipment on your car or truck. Additionally, a broken link on chains is a common occurrence, and if not immediately repaired, will destroy your treads, wheels, and tire wells. FACT #3: Snow Chains Are Inconvenient Installing standard show chains is a time consuming, cumbersome, and generally unpleasant experience that requires getting in and out of the vehicle three times to complete the entire process.
1.	First the driver must get out of the vehicle, and the snow chains must be laid out flat on the ground in front of or behind each tire.
2.	Then the driver needs to get back into the vehicle and drive right onto the center of the chains. Next, the driver has to get out of the vehicle to manually drape the chains up and around the tire, holding the heavy chains together with one hand while connecting the ends together on the inside and outside of the tire.
3.	Finally, the driver has to get back into the vehicle to adjust the chains which requires driving for about 1/4 mile, then getting out again to check the chains, and adjusting them if they are too loose. Some chains are hard to adjust or cannot be adjusted at all.
Just think of how much time this can take away from your weekend adventure or holiday outing. Do you really want to spend 30 minutes on a cold roadside connecting your tire chains, or would you rather get on the road quickly and enjoy your vacation?
