1Snow Traction Devices
Use tyre chains only in an emergency or when they
are legally required for driving through a certain area.
Use greater caution when driving with tyre chains on
snow or ice. They may have less-predictable handling

If your vehicle is equipped with summer tyres, be
aware that these tyres are not designed for winter
driving conditions. For more information, contact a
