High grip even on icy roads! Non-metal tire chains that don't require jacking up

One concern when driving in snowy conditions is installing tire chains outside in the cold. Many may feel anxious about whether they can put them on correctly... especially those who are not from snowy regions. With the non-metal chains "Biathlon Easy Fit," even beginners can feel at ease.

Easier installation of chains on snowy days

What worries me about winter driving is the sudden snow and icy roads. When heading to a ski resort with family or returning to snowy regions, it's essential to have tire chains ready.

That said, I want to finish the installation work as quickly as possible in the cold outdoors. What I want to focus on as a winter preparation is the non-metal tire chain "Biaslon Easy Fit" from Carmate. It can be installed without lifting the vehicle or moving it, and it automatically tightens while driving.

Fit while driving! The secret of automatic tightening

The main feature is the two "self-fit reels." After wrapping the chain around the back of the tire and connecting, you hook the front wire onto two hooks, and switch the reel to winding mode. After that, the chain fits to the tire while driving. The key point is that it doesn’t require significant force to tighten during installation.

In situations where fingers are numb from the cold, it's helpful to reduce the burden of work as much as possible. There are five registered patents related to the unique mechanism, including three for the self-fit reels. By the way, the history of the Biaslon series dates back to 1985. The total cumulative shipment until 2025 is expected to reach about 3.9 million pairs, showcasing technology that has been developed over many years.

Compatible with Alphard and RAV4

Toyota's compact cars such as the Yaris and Aqua, as well as popular minivans and SUVs like the Alphard, RAV4, Subaru Forester, and Mazda CX-5 are supported. Attention has also been paid to comfort while driving. The design features a three-dimensional structure that conforms to the shape of the tire and reduces the gap between the chain and the tire, helping to suppress bulging while in motion.

Additionally, it is equipped with spike pins to enhance grip on frozen surfaces. Since it uses polyurethane elastomer that maintains flexibility even at minus 20 degrees, it appears to be manageable even in severe cold.

Preparing for winter drives with the family

Although the chains are easy to install, it's best to avoid putting them on for the first time after it has started snowing. It would be reassuring to practice once in a safe place, such as your home parking lot, after purchase.

Moreover, the compatibility may vary even for the same vehicle make and model, depending on the year of manufacture, grade, and tire size, so checking before purchase is essential. After installation, it's important to adhere to speed limits and avoid sudden braking or sharp steering. Would you consider choosing tire chains that prioritize ease of installation for safe drives with your family?
