Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Things You’ll Need:
- Tire Snow Chains
- Stretchable Snow
Chain Tighteners
Step1
Before You need to use the snow chains check to make sure they are not tangled or twisted. Note the side that may have cleats so that this side can be faced up when installed.
Step2
When ready to use the chains slowly drape the chains OVER the top of the tire making sure the middle section of the chains are on the TOP middle of the tire.
Step3
Straighten up the chains so that they are evenly distributed over the tire and on both side of the tire.
Step4
Check to see that the chain hook is on the backside and the loose end with no hook is on the nearest end towards the rear of the automobile.
Step5
Hook the chain on the back side first and then on the front side, adjusting as needed to make sure all sections are evenly distributed.
Step6
Fasten the chain tightener on the front of the tire in a triangular pattern so that the chains are well secured in an even manner.
Step7
Drive a short distance and double check the chain installation to make sure the chains are tight enough or if it looks like they need a last minute adjustment.
