There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

Is this for snow? (I imagine your off road tyres would be the best)
Or ice?



How do you know it will be ice & why are you riding on ice?

The chain will only be across the centre of the tyre, by the time it gets to the edge of the tyre it'll be flat webbing strap that'll fit easily between the tyre and the swingarm and won't shag the rims anything like chain...
