Amio 02110 snow chains, model KN-50, are traction chains with a 12 mm chain thickness designed for use on compatible passenger car tires. They are intended to increase grip on snow and ice and provide temporary traction assistance during winter conditions, emergency situations, or short-term travel over snowy or icy surfaces. The chains are a mechanical traction aid suitable where the use of snow chains is permitted and recommended by local regulations and the vehicle manufacturer.
Advantages
These snow chains feature a 12 mm chain thickness that balances durability and flexibility, offering effective surface contact without excessive stiffness. The KN-50 design provides reliable traction enhancement on compacted snow and ice while remaining simple to install and remove. Constructed for short-term winter use, the chains help reduce wheel slip and improve vehicle control when driving cautiously on treated and untreated winter roads.
Suitable for
- Passenger cars with tire sizes compatible with the KN-50 specification
- Emergency traction assistance on snowy or icy roads
- Short-distance travel in winter conditions where chains are allowed
Key specifications
- Chain thickness: 12 mm
- Model: KN-50
- Type: mechanical snow/traction chains for passenger cars
- Use case: temporary traction aid for snow and ice
How to use
Before fitting, verify tire compatibility with the chain model and check vehicle manufacturer recommendations regarding the use of snow chains. Fit the chains to the drive wheels following the supplied instructions, ensuring even tension and secure fastening. After installation, drive slowly and evenly, avoiding sudden acceleration, braking, or sharp turns. Remove the chains when driving on clear roads or at speeds above the recommended limit to prevent damage to tires and road surfaces.
Usage recommendations
Inspect the chains for wear or damage before each use and replace any worn components. Test-fit the chains in a dry, safe area to become familiar with the installation process. Use reduced speeds and gentle driving inputs while chains are fitted, and store the chains dry and clean when not in use.
