Tire chains are a form of traction aid used in snowy and icy conditions. These add traction to your vehicle. Often only used on drive wheels the reccomend option is to use on all 4 tires to increase breaking traction and turning ability. Often times there are signs on roads in the mountains where there are icy conditions. In these cases a good set of winter tires or chains is reccomend. To install tire chains you first drive over them and then drape them over. You then secure them either using a cam lock system or a bungee system often times both will be used to provide tension. It is not advised to drive over 25-35mph in chains however cables will allow you to go faster on the trade off of traction.
