FAQs
How do I know if the n°14 size fits my tires?
You must consult the Michelin compatibility chart, usually found on the product packaging or the manufacturer's website, to match your exact tire dimensions (e.g., 205/55 R16) to the correct Easy Grip Evolution size.
Can these chains be used on dry pavement?
No, these snow chains are designed strictly for use on snow and ice. Driving on dry pavement can damage both the chains and your tires, and will significantly affect ride quality.
How long does it take to install them?
With practice, installation can typically be completed in a few minutes per wheel, thanks to the extendable fastening system.
Are these chains suitable for all-wheel-drive vehicles?
Always check your vehicle's owner manual and the Easy Grip compatibility guide. Some AWD systems require chains on specific axles or all four wheels, and compatibility must be confirmed.
What is the main advantage of the composite material?
The composite material offers a lighter weight compared to traditional metal chains and provides good grip on snow and ice while being less damaging to road surfaces.
How should I clean the Easy Grip Snow Chains?
After use, simply wash them by hand with clean water. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent any degradation.
Troubleshooting
Chains are difficult to fasten.
Ensure the chains are laid out correctly before attempting to fit. Loosen the fastening system and try again, ensuring the chain is centered on the tire.
Uneven tension on the tire.
Re-engage the extendable fastening system, ensuring it is pulled taut and evenly distributed around the tire. Check for any debris caught in the mechanism.
Excessive vibration while driving.
This could indicate improper installation or a size mismatch. Stop the vehicle safely and check the chain's tension and fit. If the issue persists, remove the chains and verify tire compatibility.
Chains not providing expected traction.
Confirm that the chains are the correct size for your tires and that they are installed properly. Ensure the road surface is within the operational limits for snow chains (snow and ice).
