Causes of Tire Chains Breaking

1. Incorrect Installation:

   • Loose or improperly aligned chains can slip and break.

2. Incompatible Chains:

   • Wrong size or low-quality chains are more prone to breaking.

3. Driving Conditions:

   • Driving on pavement, at high speeds, or over rough terrain can damage chains.

4. Vehicle Factors:

   • Inadequate wheel well clearance and improper tensioning can cause breakage.

5. Wear and Tear:

   • Aging, rust, and lack of maintenance weaken chains over time.

6. Improper Usage:

   • Using the wrong type of chains or overloading the vehicle stresses the chains.

7. Aggressive Driving:

   • Sudden starts, stops, and sharp turns exert extra force on chains.

Preventive Measures:

• Choose the right chains for your tires.
• Install chains correctly and tightly.
• Inspect chains regularly for damage.
• Drive slowly and smoothly with chains.
• Avoid using chains on bare pavement.
• Ensure adequate clearance between chains and the vehicle.
