## Long description

Michelin CB-12 STR 040 snow chains are steel traction chains engineered to improve grip on snow and ice for compatible passenger car tires. The design combines cross-chain links and a tensioning system to deliver stable contact with the road surface, helping to reduce wheel slip and improving braking and lateral control in winter conditions. The set is intended for seasonal use on snowy or icy roads and should be fitted only to tires listed as compatible by the manufacturer.
Advantages
The steel construction provides durable traction in low-temperature conditions while the integrated tensioning mechanism simplifies installation and maintains a secure fit during use. The pattern of links balances forward traction and lateral stability, supporting more consistent braking on packed snow and improving control on icy surfaces. The compact components allow the chains to be stored conveniently when not in use.
Suitable for (tasks / use cases)
Temporary traction aid for passenger cars on snow-covered roads
Driving on icy roads where additional grip is required
Occasional winter trips in regions with heavy snowfall or frozen surfaces
Improving braking performance and lateral stability in slippery conditions
Key specifications
Material: steel links designed for winter traction

Compatibility: designed for tire sizes specified by the manufacturer
Intended use: seasonal use on snow and ice for passenger cars

How to use
Fit the chains to the drive wheels following the manufacturer's sizing and fitting instructions.

After initial short driving, stop and recheck tension; retighten if necessary. Remove the chains when driving on dry pavement to avoid damage to tires and road surfaces, and store them in their case or protective bag until the next use.
