How to put on snow chains on tyres?

Posted by Hunt Parts on

Putting chains on your tires can be a bit intimidating if you've never done it before, but it's actually a relatively straightforward process. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to put chains on your tires:

  1. Gather the necessary tools: To put chains on your tires, you'll need a pair of gloves, a flashlight, and a set of tire chains. Make sure the chains are the correct size for your tires and that they are in good condition.

  2. Find a level surface: You'll need to put the chains on your tires while the car is parked, so make sure you find a level surface to work on. This will make it easier to put the chains on and ensure they are tight enough.

  3. Place the chains in front of the tires: Lay the chains in front of the tire you're working on. Make sure the chains are facing the right way, with the hooks or fasteners on the inside of the chain.

  4. Put the chains on the tire: Begin by putting the chains around the outside of the tire. Make sure the chains are in the correct position and that the hooks or fasteners are on the inside of the tire.

  5. Tighten the chains: Use the hooks or fasteners to tighten the chains around the tire. This can be done by pulling on the chains or using the tensioning tool that comes with the chains.

  6. Check the chains: Once the chains are on, take a moment to check that they are tight and in the correct position. Make sure the chains are not touching any other parts of the vehicle or getting caught on anything.

  7. Repeat the process on the other tire: Once the first tire is done, repeat the process on the other tire.

  8. Practice driving: If you have never driven with tire chains before, you should practice driving on a quiet and safe road before you hit the road with heavy traffic or bad weather.

By following these steps, you'll be able to put chains on your tires quickly and easily, ensuring that you are prepared for snowy and icy roads. Remember to regularly check the chains and adjust the tension if necessary, and be safe on the road.
