BDifficulty 2/5

A car has a single driven axle and its manufacturer permits compatible snow chains on its wheels. If chains are needed and only one pair is available, where should they be fitted?

Correct answer

On both wheels of the single driven axle, following manufacturer instructions.

On both wheels of the driven axle: front wheels for front-wheel drive and rear wheels for rear-wheel drive, following manufacturer instructions. For all-wheel-drive vehicles, check which axle permits or requires chains; do not arbitrarily choose any driven wheel. Use compatible chains, drive slowly and remove them when no longer needed. They do not guarantee the vehicle cannot skid.
