On a two-wheel-drive vehicle with one driven axle, whose manufacturer permits the chosen snow chains, which wheels receive them when their use on snow is appropriate?

Correct answer

on the driven wheels, whether fitted on the front axle or the rear axle.

On the driven wheels: front wheels with a front driven axle or rear wheels with a rear driven axle. Follow vehicle and chain instructions and check compatibility. For all-wheel-drive vehicles, placement depends on manufacturer instructions. Chains improve grip but do not eliminate the risk of sliding.
