Snow chains Amio 02114, 12 mm cross-chain thickness, model KN-90 for winter traction

Amio 02114 snow chains, model KN-90, are cross-type winter traction chains with 12 mm chain thickness designed to improve grip on snow and ice. They are intended for temporary fitting to compatible tires to increase traction and controllability during winter conditions such as heavy snowfall, icy roads and steep gradients. The chains are engineered for straightforward installation and removal, enabling drivers to adapt quickly to changing road surfaces.

Advantages

These cross chains provide a balance of traction and stability through a 12 mm link thickness that enhances bite into snow and ice while maintaining reasonable ride comfort at low speeds. Their cross design distributes grip across the tread for improved braking and lateral stability on slippery surfaces. The product is suitable for short-term use in severe winter conditions and helps reduce wheel spin and loss of control when fitted correctly.

Suitable for

• Temporary traction enhancement on snow-covered roads
• Driving on icy surfaces and packed snow
• Negotiating steep inclines, mountain passes and rural winter roads
• Situations requiring temporary additional grip for passenger cars and light vehicles (when compatible with tire size)

Key specifications

• Chain type: cross/ladder pattern for balanced traction
• Link thickness: 12 mm for improved snow and ice penetration
• Intended use: temporary winter traction on snow and ice
• Compatibility: designed to fit compatible tire sizes (check tire dimensions before fitting)
• Installation: manual mounting and tensioning system for on-road application

How to use

Fit the chains to tires that match the chain size and the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations. Lay out the chains, drape them over the tire tread and secure the fastenings according to the manufacturer's mounting sequence. After initial fitting, drive a short distance at low speed and recheck tension and fastenings; retension if necessary. Remove chains when driving on clear roads, at higher speeds, or when traction no longer requires them to avoid damage to tires and road surface.

Usage recommendations

Use these chains only as temporary traction aids in severe winter conditions. Always consult vehicle guidelines for chain compatibility and maximum permitted speeds. Inspect chains for wear and correct tension before each use and store them dry to prevent corrosion.
