GEKO KN70 Snow Chains for Car Tires 3.5/12mm

The GEKO KN70 snow chains are engineered to provide superior traction and stability for passenger vehicles when navigating snow-covered or icy road surfaces. With a link thickness of 3.5mm and a 12mm profile, these chains are designed to bite into packed snow and ice, significantly improving vehicle control and braking performance during challenging winter conditions.

Advantages

These snow chains offer a robust construction that ensures durability and reliability throughout the winter season. The design focuses on ease of installation, allowing drivers to quickly equip their tires when weather conditions deteriorate. By providing consistent grip, they help prevent wheel slippage and enhance overall safety, making them a dependable solution for winter travel on slippery surfaces.

Suitable for

• Passenger cars driving on snow-covered roads
• Vehicles operating on icy surfaces
• Winter travel in mountainous or rural areas
• Emergency use during heavy snowfall

When it may not be suitable

These chains are not intended for use on dry asphalt or concrete roads, as driving on bare pavement can damage both the chains and the vehicle tires. They are also not suitable for vehicles with limited wheel arch clearance where the 12mm profile might cause mechanical interference.

Key specifications

• Link thickness: 3.5mm
• Profile height: 12mm
• Compatibility: Designed for standard passenger car tires
• Material: High-strength hardened steel

How to use

To install the GEKO KN70 snow chains, ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat, safe surface with the parking brake engaged. Lay the chains out in front of the drive wheels, ensuring there are no twists in the links. Drape the chain over the top of the tire, tucking the ends toward the ground. Connect the inner and outer locking mechanisms according to the specific wheel configuration, then drive a short distance to allow the chains to settle before tightening them securely. Always verify that the chains are centered and tensioned correctly before proceeding with your journey.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify your tire size against the compatibility chart for the KN70 model
• Check your vehicle manual for restrictions regarding the use of snow chains
• Ensure there is sufficient clearance between the tire and the wheel arch
• Practice installation in a safe environment before your first trip

Usage recommendations

Always remove the snow chains immediately once you reach cleared or dry roads to prevent premature wear of the chains and damage to the road surface. Regularly inspect the links for signs of corrosion or mechanical damage after each use.
