00:00 Introduction
01:30 Putting that chains on
02:17 Turn off DAS
Tip: After putting the chains on, drive for some 20 meters and then stop to check the chains again if they might need to be tightened some more.

@@chitralbikersclub9030 I do agree with the previous commenter said - it's not straight forward than some people make out to overcome fear of driving.
Be cautious and seek advice from others. I looked round a few sites and discovered plenty of good help by searching google on sites like Roys Quick Fix. Good luck and hope you are successful!
Is it enough to use it on one single tire?
@@PaddingtonSoul BOTH tires. Assymetrical traction is very dangerous on icy roads and your car will pull hard to one side. Make sure both drive wheels are chained
Unless they are self-tensioning chains like the ones in the video
“The instructions are almost as important as the chains themselves”
Let’s just put them on wet ground
JXDE BXBE
They’re laminated and plastic dumb dumb
Once you have read instructions once you don't need them anymore.
Bought my first chains some years ago in Aldi for £20 . While waiting to pay an old man behind me said . “ take my advice and put them on and take them off a few times in good weather, don’t let first time be at side of road in a blizzard,after 1 mile get out and check/ tighten them , and don’t drive like you have chains on drive like you don’t” . The put them on and off I good weather was best advice
Why not drive like u have chains on?
Meaning don't be reckless, thinking you're safe because of the chains.
Well you should definitely drive like you have chains on. You have to drive slow and brake early.
I use a set of tire chains (steel links not cables) on my Honda Accord and I have found their effectiveness to be very impressive on icy or deep snow (14 inches of snow). I have gone through ditches and even through piled up snow by the plow to get around stuck 4x4 trucks.
Last winter I employed a hydraulic floor jack to put the chains on, first one front wheel and then the other. The jack cut my tire chain installation time down from 45 minutes for both to just 15 minutes for both. I'll do the same thing this year.
Chains have more bite.
45 minutes? What are you an amputee?
tavi921 right. I'm trying to improve my time of 10 minutes to install, 5 minutes to remove.
Can they be used with all season tires?
@@zzz-cb3xe ofc
What's with the background music?
Did the rebels escape with the Death-star plans?
You know nothing Jon Snow.
I’m a glad played it with no sound.
Yes, we made a clean getaway! Thanks to a Hyperspace Drive & Snowchains!!!
😆
It's the suspenseful background music for me.
Lol, I live in California. The only thing I should be watching is what to do when your house and city is in fire.
Then you need a liberal kit. It’s called trump 2020
@@user-dc6nj5ol7t haahahahaha. No thanks. I would rather parish with my 2010 camry.
Simple, just don't throw away your lit up cigarette butt in the woods after you're done choochin.
Spiritkiller911 I live in California too and we should we watching rain on CZcams so we won’t forget how it looks 😂🤣😭😭
Spiritkiller911 actually I think this video is pretty useful if you're going up to the mountains for a snow day (in California).
Finally, I've seen the mythical snow chains. Not what I imagined them to look like.
What if it is night... And rainy... And windy... And your dad is yelling at you to get back inside the car... This video isn't clear on that.
Lmao
Reinhold spoke about that very subject, unfortunately the narrator spoke right over him.
Wish I would have this kind of music to do mundane tasks.
On first time chains actually needed in 3 inch snow I struggled on flat road till I reached petrol station on put them on forecourt. It drew lot of attention a crowd gathered. It snowed for 8 more hours till 8 inches which is rare for U.K. was only cab working in Leeds . They lasted about 100 miles untill disintegrated beyond use . Best £20 I ever spent earned £300
Read the manual before winter and practice in good weather. Putting it on when snowing is difficult. Greeting from Austria
Thank you Reinhold, merry christmas.
Lived in SoCal all my life and always heard about snow chains but didn’t know how they looked like. I was imagining like actual wheel chains like in a bulldozer or tank...
Cool video! I have a 4x4 (AWD) with summer tires: based on your experience, would you strongly suggest to mount the tire chains on all wheels or not ? Thanks
Hopefully you got winter tyres! There's no replacement for that
What I learned from this instructions video:
Read the manufacturer's instructions.
do these ones not need to be driven forward to fit ? just slip over and clip on ?
GuildF40 he doesn't say. Mine are auto-trac and you can just do like in the video. But many require manual tensioning more than once.
I lay them over the top of the tire, drive forward, connect them, drive forward a bit and re tension them
After you buy this, go home and do a test install on your car first, easier to learn at home then late at night in the dark in rain and freezing out.........trust me, it's not that hard
i live in canada and ive never known anyone who has ever needed or even used snow chains.. unless youre going to the middle of the forest i just dont see the need
They were more popular decades ago ,
They are still more famous in India where snow tires are expensive as fuck
Yeah in Canada, I’d imagine you want snow tires as it snows a ton, chains are good for areas where it can snow but won’t be for long but still want safety.
@@harrybriscoe7948 now they have special snow shoes that are easier to mount.
The snow plows use chains. Like modern jingle bells as you hear them rattle past the house
I drive a Subaru Forester and the dealer says NOT to use chains. But, being from here, I bought a pair for that vehicle. Mostly I just stay home in ice.
Khadijah Brown tell the dealer they can shove it
Why i am watching this.. We don't even have winter
You live in Texas
Never had to use them… I live in Alabama… If it snows here, everybody is amazed and taking pictures, we get the day off work, the highways are backed up bumper to bumper with abandoned vehicles, emergency services are put on hold, everybody’s power goes out, trees fall down everywhere, and the stores run out of milk and toilet paper…
thank you!
I remember when Dr Martin boots smelled really nice🙌🙋🙅
Hi
Awesome content
Need advise
My need is - when i drive in snow conditions, i need to tie snow chains on my tyres! When i tie snow chains, the chains touch the shower metal part!
Also due to this less space between tyre and shocker i cant even upgrade my tyre size!
If I increase tyre then i cant tie the chains at all!
Do recommend what else can be done???
Anyone ask themselfe why german uses Seat instead of Mercedes 4matic, BMW xdrive or Audi Quatro?
Possibly because many people do not have the money to buy such high end cars ...
Because they needed a shitty car that would fail on the hill climb as an excuse to show off the chains.
Seat is owned by VW and shares the same mechanicals as Audi A4 and VW Passat , and others. badge engineering really, to ensure high sales in countries like Spain etc
Best AWD is made by Subaru. Not unreliable German shitboxes...
@@nikolanikola8543What is 'unreliable' about the quttro system? Iv'e had three Audi's including an old B7 saloon 3.2 V6 from 2005, quattro system worked perfectly. Matter of fact all three cars only required general maintenance during the years I had them.
Question. Do u need it on the 4 wheels? Or it’s ok just the two front ones.
Depends on where your driven wheels are located, you can find that in the owners manual.
If someone needs to look in the manual to find out which are the driven wheels, they shouldn't be fitting a light bulb, never mind snow chains!
I have front wheel drive mini van. Should i put the chain on the front wheel only ?
or both (front and rear wheel as well) ?
Andi S front
Does it damage the wheels?
No!
Its brake caliper ?
Didn’t head inspect before and after usage ...
Thank you.
Please how many tyres should the chain be tied on at a time?
2.
tf is up with the boss music sounds like a lvl 300 dragon gonna come outta nowhere
best guidance, thanks
What happens if you put one on each tire?
The narrator sounds like Stan Lee
Lol he totally does
Well use winter tires
I´m pretty sure he does.
Quattro+Good winter tires=👌
Subaru is much better than Quattro. Audi is horribly unreliable, Subaru is always a better choice.
@@nikolanikola8543 what about toyota,haha
@@nikolanikola8543The quattro system is unreliable? What do you mean?
@@martytdd1606 Audi designs high performance cars, but they are talking about long term reliability.
A Subaru will generally outlast an Audi by a large margin (and most other German cars), even if both cars are well maintained throughout their life time.
But a subaru is much cheaper for maintenance in general, plus other Japanese car brands(like Toyota, Lexus.) can run for a long time even when they have been poorly maintained (Subaru needs to be maintained though). An Audi (and other german brands like BMW, Mercedes, etc.) will not only be more expensive to maintain, and so much more expensive to fix if something breaks, they will ALSO not run for very long if they are poorly maintained.
Shouldn’t you have them on back tires too? So your back side doesn’t fish tail?
In a fwd car you don't need chains in the back... if your back is fish-tailing then you're going too fast
Imagine that on your brand spanking new audi rs6, $1000/piece rims.... my heart even cried for the leon's rims.
Wow great ....We also made chains ourselves
Does things look like 3 shades of sketchy
I live in TX ice road don't go to work 😉
Where can I purchase these?
Wouldn't this make your car very bumpy?
It's okay, it evens out as the snow is very lumpy.
2:30 Don’t drive on asphalt with snow chains! It can form cracks in the road’s surface!
Do they work on a Lambo
You dont have a lambo
Thank you sir..
Shintover, tech travel eat, hanikka, emil.. ആരെങ്കിലുമുണ്ടോ
Good show good show
I'm from Bangladesh and here is no snow....and here is also not much hot...but it's our dream to see snowing...
But I bet, you would not want to see snow from November to April, like I do
@@srgk4430 where r u from ?
Moscow, Russia. Usually, the snow starts melting at the end of March and melts until the middle of the April.
In the year 2014, we had a nice blizzard here on May, 7th.

Dada, definitely the day will come, keep your fingers crossed. mean while keep eating Channer Shondesh.
Is it more convenient to just buy studded tires
Studded tyres only make sense if you're driving on really icy and snow-covered roads. It isn't advisable to drive them on tarmac once the snow melts. So, depends on where you live and how much snow you're dealing with. If it's small stretches of snow every now and again, snow chains make more sense.
People in Texas you should watch thiz
If you don't have snowchains ask whistle boy
Sometimes I use this to my wife.
🤔🤔🤔🤔
Do I needs these
I think you doos need these
......surely its youS doos??? ;-)
I like it ... amazing
Snow tires.
Us Brits desperately need to see this video. We our the worst nation when It comes to driving in the snow
First step. Move to California
Step two. Laugh at the people living on the rust belt.
People don’t think we get snow here but we get snow in California mountains. BEAUTIFUL. Many go skiing to mammoth mountain. We needed chains to get up there this past week hence why I’m here 😂. Only bad thing about our yearly snow falls are mountains get crowded bc it’s foreign to us😂...even though we get snow every winter 🤦🏻♀️😂 Good thing about our snow falls are they’re bearable...not like upper USA freezing winters 🥶
Step 3: use all your money for rent and watch your city burn from your balcony.
I live in California and I like to do this little thing called vacationing… it’s where you drive your car to snowy places. Like right now, I’m watching this from a magical land called or-e-gon. From my second house.
هاذي تصلح للمهربين واهل البر
*Says 4wd would have trouble*
*Quotes an All Wheel Drive vehicle*
I drove through a foot of snow in a bad snow storm in my REAL 4wd. Passed by a tacoma stuck in the ditch.
Snow chains is kind a rocket science for Muricans.
mo c If you’re British, French (French and Indian War), German, Austrian, etc., are you just mad you lost a war against us?
Not if you're in the Rockies!
@@jamesmanzano5231 it's ok to be jealous
I still am German in driving. To drive please with must stay among and within panzer tracks from last of the world war that way you most never be lost.
Aaah das is gut mein Nazi frendenstoodle
I feel like I'm watching a Chinese movie dubbed in English language
Lmfaooo snow chains are illegal in my state.
Why ?
Why tho?
This video is good for that "Scottish" people that don't want to pay for any winter tyres
Cid
looks cheap. breaks easily
Gee, those little chains wouldn't be worth a hoot in the mud!
