Talk:Snow chains

message: Basic research and common sense would seem to indicate that chains should not be used on a hard surface, like a road covered with only ice. Only in deep snow, or maybe offroad mud, et cetera. Surely, regardless of their effect on traction, chains will get damaged on an iced road which is not also covered with sufficiently deep snow (which keeps the chains away from the hard ice!). I.e. it would appear that chains are not a replacement for winter tires. Winter tires are needed for proper grip even on bare asphalt, at low temperatures. Winter tires are the first line of defense; chains are the backup for deep snow, when the winter tires are not able to cut through to the surface (ice or asphalt) to obtain traction.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.20.32.179 (talk) 04:59, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  ABS braking cars? 

message: Use of snow chains was common in the UK in the 1950s but now seems almost to have died out.  I think this is because vehicle speeds have risen so much.  In the 1950s many people drove at only 30 mph, even when there was no speed limit, because of the low power and poor handling of the cars of the time.  Several friends of mine have said that, next time they buy new cars, they will buy 4x4s specifically to cope with the snow problem.  This will not please environmentalists but it seems a logical decision in the circumstances.  I am also astonished to see 6-axle lorries with only one driven axle - I think that two driven axles is a sensible minimum for a 6-axle vehicle.  I am planning to expand on this and put it in an article entitled Inclement weather management.  There is already a category of that name. Biscuittin (talk) 16:11, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Snow chains and alternatives 

message: After doing some research I see that some chains are intended for use in mud and some for use year-round on heavy equipment. Should this article discuss only snow chains or should it be renamed tire chains? Jim Derby (talk) 22:51, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
