Emergency Tire Chains

Tire chains can approximately double your vehicle's starting and stopping traction on snow and ice. For this reason, many states that have mountainous roads require chains to be installed during low-traction conditions. (Chains are illegal in some states because of the damage they can inflict on bare pavement.)

Many people buy tire chains as part of ski-trip preparation, hoping that they'll never actually have to install them. Granted, many ski bums have made a cottage industry out of roadside chain installation for motorists who don't want to step out of their SUVs. Fees can range from reasonable to outrageous, depending on time of day and weather conditions.

Drive about two feet onto the chains. When on a hill, use gravity and back up onto the chains if practical. Set the emergency brake and verify that the tires are sitting squarely on the chains. Block the other three tires.Emergency Tire Chain Alternative
