How to pick anti-skid chains for your vehicle when the road is slippery in snowy days?

According to my use and understanding of anti-skid chains summarize some detailed technical information for your reference. Types of anti-skid chains:

1)

Iron chain---actually steel chain, this chain is more widely used, but also the traditional car anti-skid equipment, my original car with this anti-skid chain, the price is cheap. But the main disadvantage is the wear and tear of the car tire is very strong because the chain in addition to the tire outside and inside the two sides of the chain is fixed by the steel chain, in the tire surface of the chain due to the weight of the heavy weight, the inertia is thrown away from the tread can be before and after the free movement in the process of anti-skid chain - the ground - the tire between the impact of the movement of the tire to make the tire doubly hurt, some people described as filing like utter tire. The shape of the chain has a simple trapezoidal and rhombus, the former is mostly for trucks with the latter is a small car with a rhombus, the use of better than trapezoidal, rhombus due to the chain was mesh, fixed points, in the tread of the chain is easy to tighten the tread, so less than the trapezoidal chain of the wear and tear on the car tire.

2)

Bull chain---this is a chemical mixture of PVC, PP, PT, is a relatively modern vehicle anti-skid equipment developed recently. After opening is a whole like a scarf in the center is a number of diamond-shaped pattern above the cloth has a number of steel nails, anti-skid effect is still good. But the disadvantage is that the installation is extremely inconvenient. The product description said that the anti-skid chain is laid flat on the ground, the car slowly drive up and then pocket up fixed on the drive wheels can be, but often can not be aligned with the tires are pressed down after the inability to move, the inner side of the gap is too small due to the inconvenience of the operation, the user is usually used to jack up the tires to be installed. In addition, snowy days inevitably in the snow and ice and bare dry road alternately, this time to decide whether to remove the anti-skid device most tangled, due to the inconvenience of the installation, users often take not to dismantle, insist on driving on dry roads, nails will damage the road surface, oxbows or rubber materials in contact with the ground friction will produce high temperatures, easy to melt the oxbows material, and tires to produce adhesion to the tire to permanent damage to the tires.

3)

The Z-type wire rope anti-skid chain ---- represented by the U.S. SCC This kind of anti-skid chain is mainly suitable for medium and high-grade models, and it breaks through the limit of traditional anti-skid chain in the problem of inner tire clearance, in which a super Z6 product can be used in the inner tire clearance as small as 6mm, which completely ends the history of many high-grade cars that can not use anti-skid chain. Moreover, the anti-skid effect of this kind of anti-skid chain is comparable to the diamond-shaped chain, but the service life exceeds more than 3 times that of the chain, and its diagonal steel wire rope on the tread is lighter in weight than the chain bars, so that the round anti-skid roller is not easy to damage the tire in the impact between the tire and the ground, and will not damage the road surface. Especially, it is extremely easy to install and remove, no jack, no need to move the vehicle, providing excellent safety options for car owners. As a matter of fact, for regular models, chains and bull chains will provide a good winter travel result. For those of you with high-end cars, choosing wire rope anti-skid chains will make the trip more comfortable and you don't have to think about tire wear, after all, high-end model tires are also worth a lot of money. Please friends of the car carefully according to their own vehicle and the cost-effective choice of anti-skid chains!
