Tire chains are used to provide additional traction on slippery roads, such as those covered in ice or snow. They can be particularly useful for truck drivers who are operating in areas with extreme weather conditions.

Are tire chains safe?

Tire chains should only be used when necessary, as they can cause additional wear and tear on the vehicle and can be difficult to install and remove. Truckers should consult local laws and regulations to determine if and when tire chains are necessary in their area. Tire chains may sometimes be required by law in certain weather conditions.

Truckers need to be prepared for adverse weather conditions by carrying a set of tire chains and knowing how to install them properly. Truckers should also be aware of the weight limits for their vehicle and ensure that the chains are properly sized and installed to avoid causing damage to the truck.
