【Fabric Tire Chains】Strong even on slopes and icy roads! A “protective” gear you want to stock up on from autumn

Enjoying snow activities in the mountains with a wintery landscape and fresh air. The places you want to visit in winter are usually at the end of slopes or icy roads. To thoroughly enjoy those winter drives without worry, you want to gently keep a “seriously usable” fabric tire chain in your car’s trunk as a reliable companion.

"Simply put on" for安心 during winter drives

The charm of the fabric tire chain "MTK Car Socks 3" lies in its ease of use that comes with being made of fabric. There is no need to assemble it like a metal chain; just covering it over the tire completes the installation. It operates quietly while running, allowing you to start smoothly even on snowy roads. Its compact size means you can keep it in your trunk or door pocket, so you won't hesitate to set off on a morning when "it might snow today."

The significant evolution of the third generation is its strength on "slopes." Equipped with TPU material non-slip pads and metal spikes treated with anti-rust zinc plating, it firmly grips the road surface on inclines, descents, curves, and icy roads. The pads are arranged vertically along the tire's rotation direction to increase ground contact time, making it designed to counter side slipping. Each chain has 9 to 11 pads and 45 to 55 metal spikes.

In tests conducted by the manufacturer, a driving test was held at the Makinoho Pass in Oita Prefecture (elevation 1330m). Surprisingly, they were able to ascend a sloped icy road with an incline of 12.6 degrees in temperatures of minus 3℃ with a front-wheel drive vehicle (note that results may vary depending on vehicle type, snow conditions, tire tread, number of passengers, etc.). It is reliable for overcoming winter mountain passes and for trips to winter sports.

Available in a total of 9 sizes from A to I, it is compatible with a wide range of vehicles, from light cars like the N-BOX to minivans like the Alphard. One set covers two tires. Considering stability during downhill braking and curves, it is recommended to install them on all four wheels.

If you note the numbers on the tire sidewall in advance, you'll be able to act smoothly when it snows. Why not check early to broaden your winter activity range?
