V-Bar Pros and Cons

Benefits of Use

V-bar chains are a cost effective alternative to studded chains for use on ice and packed snow. These chains are available in a variety of specific wire gauges to maximize strength for each application.

Pros

Downsides of Use

V-bar chains should not be used on concrete or asphalt as they could cause damage to these surfaces. The V-bars can flatten out and pull off the chain link easier compared to a studded chain.
