Tire Chain Rules
Basic Rules for Using All Tire Chains
1. Pre-fit chains prior to actual use. No one wants to be in 8-10" of snow on the side of the road to find that they are un-familiar with the installation of their chains.
2. Consult owner's manual to see if chains can be used on your vehicle.
3. Make sure chains are properly sized for your tire.
4. Follow directions for installing tire chains. Apply as tightly as possible by hand for maximum chain life.
5. Be sure to pull off-highway to safe place before installing, servicing, or removing tire chains.
6. Do not deflate tires to install tire chains.
7. Drive approximately 1/4 mile. Stop and retighten. Extra links (depending on chain style) may be cut off, or preferably, retained on the fastener arm. Keep chains tight to snug throughout the operation.
8. Do not exceed 30 miles per hour. Accelerate and decelerate slowly. Avoid spinning or locking of wheels.
9. If a cross-chain should fail, stop immediately. Repair or remove. Do not drive with a damaged chain. You could cause damage to your tire or vehicle.
10. Avoid hitting curbs with tire chains.
11. Tire chains are not designed for towing.
