Snow Chains Amio KN-100 12 mm link thickness for passenger vehicles

Amio KN-100 snow chains with a 12 mm link thickness are designed to increase traction, braking and directional stability of passenger vehicles when driving on snow- or ice-covered roads. Constructed from steel link chains, they are intended for intermittent winter use where additional grip is required. Compatibility depends on tyre size and vehicle manufacturer recommendations; verify fitment before installation.

Advantages

The 12 mm link thickness provides a balance between durability and flexibility, offering improved bite into compacted snow and icy surfaces while remaining manageable for fitting and removal. Steel construction ensures resistance to wear from road contact, and the design is compatible with a range of passenger car tyre sizes when used in accordance with fitment guidelines. These chains help reduce wheel spin during acceleration and contribute to more stable braking on slippery surfaces.

Suitable for

• Passenger cars requiring temporary traction assistance in winter conditions
• Driving on snowy, icy or compacted slush-covered roads
• Short stretches of road where winter chains are permitted and recommended

Key specifications

• Link material: steel
• Link thickness: 12 mm
• Type: cross-chain steel links for intermittent road use
• Intended use: passenger vehicle tyres
• Typical benefits: improved traction, enhanced braking stability, reduced wheel slip

How to use

Select the correct chain size for your tyre dimensions according to the vehicle and chain manufacturer guidance. Fit the chains to clean, undamaged tyres on a flat surface, following the fitting sequence provided by the chain supplier: position the chain over the tyre, connect fastenings, and ensure even tension across the tread. After initial installation, drive a short distance at low speed and re-check tension and fastening points, retightening as necessary. Remove the chains when driving on cleared roads, surfaces without snow/ice, or where chains are not permitted to prevent damage to tyres and road surfaces.

Usage recommendations

Use the chains only on tyres and vehicles for which they are rated, adhere to local regulations regarding chain use and speed limits, and store chains clean and dry after use to limit corrosion. Regularly inspect chains for wear or damaged links before each season.
