If the car is front-wheel drive they are placed on the two front wheels.
If the car is of rear propulsion the chains will be mounted on the rear wheels.
If the car is all-wheel drive chains must be placed on all four wheels, but if there is no other option, will install them in the front, which at the same time are motor and guidelines.
With the chains on, we will have to drive at a moderate speed, at most 50 km/h, and when we remove them it is advisable to rinse them with plenty of water, to eliminate road salt and other debris that may damage them.
An alternative to the chains are the winter tires. Its use is recommended because summer tires, when temperatures drop below 7ยบ, lose many of their capacities.
Although it is never good to take the car very empty, in winter it is convenient to take it as full as possible. If we stay put is a source of heat.Also, if we have a diesel car and we are going to leave it for a few days standing in a very cold area, it would be convenient to throw about half a litter of gasoline into the car. Nothing is going to happen to you and since gasoline does not freeze, we will prevent the gas oil from freezing and leaving us lying around.
It is clear that when you have to drive, we have to take into account all the factors and inconveniences that we can find on the roads, and that is why we have to always be well equipped and safely in case we had an accident or an impediment to continue the journey.
