Where do you put snow chains?
Place the separated chains by the tires: for a front-wheel-drive vehicle, the chains should go on the front two tires, and for rear-wheel-drive vehicles, on the rear two wheels.
When would you use tractor tire chains?
If you want to convert your lawn tractor into a plow to clear snow from your driveway, you’ll want to use tire chains. Tire chains will provide the traction necessary to drive on snow and ice in these slippery conditions.
Do chains go on all 4 tires?
Ideally, you should put tire chains on all four tires for all types of vehicles. If chains are only put on the front tires, the back of the vehicle can react unpredictably during driving and braking, while if chains are only put on the rear tires, the steering ability of the vehicle is jeopardized.
Do you need 4 snow chains or 2?
Legally, it is only necessary to have snow chains for one axle when travelling in mountain areas. However, when driving a 4 x 4 some drivers prefer to use 4 chains ( two sets). Although in most conditions a single set of chains will provide enough traction, there are significant benefits with using two sets.
How tight should tractor chains be?
The chains should be tight on the tire. And, be sure to stop if you hear them making any contact with your vehicle. If your chains are still loose, unhook the bungee and adjust the red hook straight across from the chain guide.
What size tire chains do I need for my tractor?
Measure, don’t use tire size! Measure tire chain length (L) and inside span (S) of the chains you are checking. Subtract W from S and then subtract that number from (H) which will give you the diameter of the tire chain circle. Multiply that by 3.14 and you get the tire chain length (L).
Can you put chains on ag tires?
Chains work well on AG threads if you want to keep moving. No style tire and ice are comparable.
Why do snow chains fall off?
“If one side of tire chain is looser than the other, while you’re driving, the chain will literally begin sliding off and either fall off or wrap around the inside tire axle.” Lotito also stressed that if you are putting on your own chains, you must do so off the roadway in a safe place.
Does Tractor Supply sell tire chains?

Which way do tractor tires go?
For best traction, the tread should be pointed in the direction of travel (looking at the top of the tire ).
