Correct answer
At least one driven wheel on each side.
On at least one driven wheel on each side of the vehicle. Driven-axle location depends on the vehicle; always choosing front or rear is insufficient. Use compatible chains and follow manufacturer instructions for wheels, fitting and limitations. This question concerns the chain option; Article 12.5.2 also permits special tyres subject to its requirements. The minimum rule does not replace other applicable instructions or restrictions.
