How To Choose Tire Size
Understand your tire size
Tire Width——The width of the tire from one sidewall to the other, measured in millimeters (mm).
Aspect Ratio——The height of the tire’s sidewall compared to its width, shown as a percentage.It tells you how tall the tire’s sidewall is.
Rim Diameter——The size of the wheel the tire fits on, measured across the inside of the tire in inches.

Tire Clearance Requirements
What do A and B clearance mean?
A (Tread Face Clearance) – The minimum space required between the snow chain and tread-facing vehicle components, such as suspension or brake parts.
B (Sidewall Clearance) – The minimum space required between the snow chain and the tire’s inner sidewall area, including nearby body or chassis components.

Any precautions after installing snow chains?
To ensure safety, avoid sudden acceleration and emergency braking, and keep the vehicle speed below 30mph. If the chain wears more than 30%, it should be removed immediately to avoid damage to the car and tire.
Are snow chains difficult to install, especially in cold weather?
Not at all. Our quick-fit design allows you to install or remove the chains within minutes—no tools or mechanical skills needed. You can get back on the road safely, even in freezing conditions.
Will snow chains damage my tires or rims?
No. Our chains are designed with protective rubber fasteners and an optimized tension system that prevents friction and vibration, keeping your tires and rims safe during use.
I’m nervous about sudden braking or acceleration causing a skid — do the chains help?
Absolutely. The multi-contact tread pattern and firm grip reduce wheel spin during acceleration and improve braking stability, lowering the chance of skids under sudden maneuvers.
Can installing chains create sparks or damage if I accelerate too hard?
If the chain is properly tensioned and fitted, sparks are unlikely. Avoid aggressive acceleration on chains; our recommended installation and tension system minimizes metal-on-road contact and reduces wear and risk of sparks.
