How Fast Can You Drive with Snow Chains?- Nantong Tianshi Iron Chain Co., Ltd

It's a good idea to have snow chains on your tires when the roads are covered in snow and ice. But are snow chains slowing down your car? How fast can you drive with snow chains?

If your tires have snow chains, your car should not be driven faster than 20 to 30 miles per hour (30 to 50 kilometers per hour). Even if you wanted to, your car won't be able to go at its normal top speed on a snowy road with chains on your tires.

You should not attempt to drive faster than 20-30 mph while using snow chains. If you are driving on dry roads, the chain can cause your car to lose control while steering or braking.

It is important to install the snow chains correctly on the tires. Otherwise, your tires will show minor cosmetic damage, especially if you accelerate the car. Use caution when driving in snow and keep your speed below 30 mph.
