Chain fitting instructions

Through the fastening-system and the shackles the fitting of the snow-chain can be adjusted. For optimum driving power the snow-chain should be mounted on the tire loose, so that the chain will seat on the road already in front of the tire-stand-area (see picture).

Chain with rim protection

 

      Field of application:

  • For front- and rear-wheel drive vehicles
  • Suitable for small, mid-range and luxury class vehicles

      Quality description / handling:

  • Tyre contact area 12 mm / Strength of chain link 3.5 mm
  • Ottinger stand mounting system / Colour-coded locking points for quick, easy stand assembly
  • With ice-free quick release
  • Rim guard - thermoplastic elements protect the alloy wheel rims from damage and scratches

      Technology:

  • D-profile crosspieces with ice edge from wear-resistant OSS special steel
  • With additional grip links for improved propulsion and braking force
  • Meshed chain net, durable and wear-resistant

Rim protection technology


The position of the snow chain on the tire changes, according to the driving behaviour (see picture 2 + 3). Therefore it is possible, that snow chains, which have no contact first with the rim after mounting, could also damage the rim later (see picture 1 + 4). Ottinger snow chains with rim protection, which have thermoplastic protection elements and distance device, protect your rim against damages through the snow chain at every driving behaviour and keep also the design of the wheels/rims
