HOW TO CHOOSE SNOW CHAINS FOR YOUR CAR?

To choose your snow chains , you will first need to define several criteria: your needs, the type of tires on your vehicle, the installation and size and, of course, the price. Here are our tips for choosing the right snow chains.

Precisely define your needs

If you live in a mountainous area or go skiing once a year, your snow chain needs will obviously be significantly different. Generally, three cases are distinguished:

• You live in an area that is not very conducive to heavy snowfall and / or you need chains for (very) occasional use. In this case, snow socks may be sufficient. Compact, easy to install, they will help you out for your rare trips on the snow.
• You regularly go to the mountains, you are regularly confronted with snow or you do not have winter tires. It is then imperative to acquire snow chains . You will then have to define the most suitable model: classic or universal, manual or automatic tensioning, etc.
• You are in a heavily snow-covered region where you have frequent trips on snow-covered roads. You will have to turn to spiders , the must of snow chains.

Choose snow chains adapted to your tires

To choose the right snow chains for your vehicle, you must first and foremost make sure that they are suitable for the size, in particular the width of your tires . In addition, the chains will also need to be adapted to the rims of your car. Indeed, aluminum rims require chains with anti-scratch protection.
