I am from a country that has little to no snow, so no need for snow tyres. The putting on of chains doesn’t really make sense to me. Also, are there such things as actual snow tyres or does the term snow tyres just refer to putting the chains on?
In: Physics
* Chains concentrate the weight of the car into a smaller surface area, this allows them to “bite” into the snow and ice that might be built up on the road.
* Snow tires are specifically designed tires that are better suited for driving in winter conditions. Putting chains on regular tires does not make them snow tires.
