Difference between tire chain patterns
It’s important to understand the difference between patterns and how they effect traction.
When you’re purchasing your chains, keep in mind that tire coverage matters a lot. The more the pattern covers your tires, and therefore makes more contact with the ground, the more traction you should expect.

How do I install truck tire chains?
Installing tire chains can vary depending on the type and brand of chains you have. Typically, the chains will need to be placed around the tire, with the chain tensioners tightened to ensure a snug fit. It is important to refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for specific installation instructions.
We also have videos for certain chains on our website. Find the product page for your chains, or visit our education page for installation.
Can I drive on pavement with tire chains?
No, tire chains should only be used on snowy or icy roads. Driving on pavement with tire chains can cause damage to the chains, the tires, and the road surface.
How do I maintain my tire chains?
Tire chains should be checked for wear and tightness before each use. If the chains are damaged or worn, they should be replaced. Additionally, the chains should be cleaned and lubricated as needed to ensure they function properly.
Can I use tire chains on any type of tire?
Tire chains are designed to fit specific tire sizes, so it is important to select chains that are compatible with your tires.

It is always best to check the manufacturer’s recommendations for your specific vehicle and tires.
