- Spider Spike Tire Chains Alternative
- When tire chains are needed for a vehicle, weather conditions are usually at their worst with extremely cold temperatures, often accompanied by winds, snowing, and icy roads.The normal procedure for installing snow chains requires that the vehicle be rolled onto the chains. One of the most common questions asked by new drivers to the snow is "Will I need chains"? This is totally dependent on the road conditions, and in alpine areas conditions can change rapidly. If a tire chain is not adjusted properly every few miles, it becomes loose and can smack the inside of your wheel well and bounce off of the treads and sidewalls of your tires. Other times you will need to make the decision on your own. Snow itself is not as dangerous as ice but can cause problems if there is packed snow or ice underneath the top layer of snow. You should only put chains on if there is snow or ice on the road. Black Ice is very dangerous and often you will not know of its existence until you hit it. It is strongly recommended (and law in some areas and times) that if you intend driving in alpine areas chains are carried by both 2WD and 4WD vehicles at all times. If you live where the climate calls for snowy winters, then there's a chance you'll eventually need tire chains.
