Tire Cables

Tire cables also known as snow cables are a traction device that features steel coils wrapped around cross cables in a ladder pattern. Cables are a popular choice for occasional use in mild conditions. Cables offer more clearance, compared to link chains, and should be used when a link chain does not have the clearances needed for some vehicles.
