Do You Know How to Install Tire Chains?

posted on 7/15/2021 10:51:00 AM

Winter pass conditions have been treacherous lately and chains are often required for travel across Washington passes. When driving in heavy snow, tire chains may be your best bet to enhance the traction for your vehicle When using tire chains, follow these safety tips:

  • Install tire chains on all four tires, which means you will have to buy two pairs of chains.
  • Buy chains that are the correct size for your tires.
  • Do not deflate your tires to install the chains. The chains should fit over properly inflated tires.
  • Use chains that are SAE Class “S” so they safely clear your car’s fenders, suspension, struts, brake lines, and braces.
  • Pre-fit the chains before you actually have to use them.
  • Keep your chains in the trunk at all times.
  • Re-tighten the chains after you drive the car about 15 feet.
  • Speed up and slow down gradually, and don’t spin the wheels.
  • Drive within the chain manufacturer’s recommended speed (usually under 30 mph).
  • Do not drive with broken chains.
  • Take chains off as soon as you reach clear roads.
