What you should be mindful of
Only fit snow chains with links and locks that are no
larger than 13 mm.
For the best possible handling, use tyres on all four
wheels with a minimum tread depth of 4 mm.
Change winter tyres to summer tyres at the appro-
priate time. Summer tyres have better driving and
braking characteristics on snow- and ice-free roads
and at temperatures above 7 °C.
