According to statistics, on average, each year, 560,000 road accidents in the U.S. are caused by ice, snow, and sleet on the road taking almost 2,000 lives and resulting in almost 150,000 injuries. However, you can easily minimize the risk of becoming part of this statistic by acquiring a set of durable and reliable semi truck tire chains. They don’t take too much storage space, and you can carry them in the truck with you at all times. Don’t think that it is still too early for tire chains because the road can get icy in an instant, especially when you travel on mountain roads with high-altitude sections.

The installation process is fairly simple. First, it is advisable to lay down your chain on the ground next to the wheel and make sure that all locking clips are in place. Then, wrap the chain around the tire while spreading it evenly. Lock the clips on the back side, then on the front. If needed, move your mudflaps aside. Make sure that locking clips face outwards, otherwise, they may cause accelerated wear of the tire. You can increase the tension of the chain on the tire by using regular bungee cords, specialized tire straps, or spider bungee adjusters. Some truckers prefer rolling their tires on the chains for more convenient locking.

It is highly recommended to practice chaining up your tires a few times before you need to do it for real in cold, poorly lit conditions. That way you will feel much more confident and will do it much quicker when you need to get back on the road as soon as possible. Don’t forget that semi truck tire chains are not intended for normal highway speeds. They are designed to get you through some difficulties on the road. It is not recommended to exceed a 35 mph speed limit after you install your snow chains. If you go faster, chains may break and cause damages to your truck and tires.
