Anti-slip bracelets for car wheels: review of 10 models, owner reviews and prices
Content
These car bracelets are designed for passenger cars with a tire profile width of 165–205 mm. Devices increase the car's cross-country ability when overcoming light off-road, slippery slopes, snow-covered sections of the road, ruts.
In winter, the condition of the road surface is far from always being in a satisfactory condition, even in megacities. Snow-covered and icy sections of the road are common, and studded tires do not guarantee their safe passage. If there is nowhere to wait for help, then chains and anti-skid bracelets will help you overcome difficult places on your own, and not only in winter. In the absence of snow, accessories are used on sand, swampy or muddy soil from precipitation.
Bracelets or chains: what to choose
Metal chain structures provide better cross-country ability and controllability compared to bracelets, are safer and more durable, and allow you to overcome long distances. The disadvantages of snow chains are:
- the need to install them on tires immediately before a trip or storming an obstacle;
- the complexity of installation on a stuck car (requires separation of the wheel from the road surface);
- limiting the maximum speed of movement (40 km / h);
- inapplicability for hard coatings;
- production of each model for a specific wheel size;
- cost;
- the weight.
Anti-slip bracelets can be worn on the drive wheels of vehicles with any type of drive. Such products will be a profitable purchase, because among their main advantages:
- simple installation;
- the possibility of prompt installation on wheels in an already existing emergency situation;
- variable length, which allows the use of bracelets on tires and rims of different sizes;
- compactness and light weight;
- small price.
Among the minuses is the need to constantly monitor the tightening and position of devices relative to shock absorbers, brake hoses and calipers. On some models of vehicles, lugs are not applicable due to the risk of damage to the elements of the chassis or the brake system. There may also be problems with installation on wheels with stamped discs. When driving, the loads on tires, suspension and transmission are high, when compared with chains. Therefore, the travel distance recommended by manufacturers is no more than 1 km. The remaining pros and cons are related to the material of manufacture, design and quality of each particular product.
