In addition to tire chains because both sides are wire fixation, the exposed surface of the front and rear tire chains freedom of movement, in the course of anti-skid chains - Ground - relative movement between the tires so much damage has been described as the tire rasp like throat tires. This chain has a simple trapezoidal shape and diamond, the former with the latter is more for trucks car use, using the results better than the trapezoid diamond, due to the chains of a fixed point than trapezoidal chain so the tires to wear diamond less. Ordinary car diamond chains about 140-180 yuan (one / two tires), there are 80 cheap about.

Refer to "My Music" video site Search Team Leopard SCC chains or the United States each specification has described below, as well as video, installation and display. Feature is not necessary to use jacks, three minutes fast installation. And life expectancy is three times the other anti-skid chains, using manganese alloys. Rational design. Both sedans and SUVs affordable high.
