- Winter is around the corner. If you live in a city like me, you don't carry and are not allowed to use snow chains for your tires! Who has room to store a set of snow tires when living in the city? I'm going to share with you a quick and cheap snow chain alternative for when you get stuck in a snow pile.
I've used this technique a couple of times when I just can't get my car out of a snow pile even with shoveling and digging. The technique is to wrap a cord around your tires. I use a clothing hanging cord that's about 3/8th inch in diameter.
Take a look at this video to see how I apply it on my wheels during winter emergency.
The cord must immediately be removed once you are freed from whatever snowy situation you are stuck in! Never drive around with a cord around your tires. - Jak na to + styl
This proves once and for all that a single picture is worth a thowsand words!!
Thowsand?
Thanks for showing. And fuck the disappointing people screw, you people you did a great job on the video. Thank you. Don’t listen to the negative people. You did a great job.
Right over left then left over right is a square knot.
The firsdt knot you did was what they call a granny knot and will come undone easily.
This tip I am going to try for my wheelchair. Thank you
I’ve used this method on a Peugeot 306 with blue nylon rope but I weaved it around and tensioned it across the front face of the wheel. It worked amazingly well, went straight up a very steep hill which was an ice sheet, but wore out in about a mile on tarmac. It’s only suitable if you have good clearance around the Caliper,if not then it’s going to jam your wheel and break something. I couldn’t use it on my Volvo 850.
I’m definitely giving this a try, because I hate using snow chains
incredible, it works even in summer in the driveway of the garage !! --@)@--
I never knew this was a thing. I did this once years ago with spare towels, rags, and shirts in my car on the flats of Galveston bay area in Texas literally saved me. luckily the second I felt my tires slip in the mud , I didn't have traction so I did this before I buried my tires in the mud
Guys they make zip ties for this same shit. It won't hit the caliper. Keep in mind though, I have no idea what I'm talking about.
Have you tried this in sow or mud yet? It doesn't look safe to me, it would foul on my calipers in no time. I made my own snow chains out of Dog chains & its not too hard and works perfectly, but you do need a welder. The dog doesn't like being turned over & over though.
Bungy cords work good also
You are funny 😹😹😹😹
And if you believe that, I will sell you a bridge.
why your rim is sooo clean??
Theseus when i wash my rims, i put some wax on them to help keep the dust from sticking
will this help with black ice?
I doubt it. rope will dig out a little bit of snow at a time like a mini-shovel, but it certainly won't dig through ice.
this was funny lol
ya, especially since it doesn't show whether it works or not, probably because it doesn't work
I used it, does nothing on the ice
Is this being narrated by
Adam Sandler?
Hi does rope work equally like chains???
How much thickness is recommended?
Can it work in deep snow??
Hahaha
What's the point of this video if you dont even show it actually working...🤷♂️
Thats exackly my point you dont even give an example😅
That's means that you must do it first and tell us how it goes
What a joke? Anybody who experienced ice and snow knows this is not going to work.
If you really want to make something temporary that works, use a thicker rope, attach more to the wheels than on this video or even better use any piece of cotton material cut it in to strips and twist it hard before you tie it up on the wheels. The rope used on this video is way too thin
like a towel? thanks for your comment
i live in tx with black ice
if you drove on them on the ice or snow to prove your point that would be very helpful since you didn't I'm giving you a thumbs down even though it's a great idea
Man you didnt even show how it worked😅very disapointing😢😊
I think we can safely assume that it doesn't work
