Snow chains Michelin Snekæder Extreme Grip SUV 280 – Michelin model MI008468

Michelin Snekæder Extreme Grip SUV 280 are heavy-duty snow chains designed for SUVs that require size 280 chains. Constructed with metal links and reinforced cross members, these chains increase traction on snow and ice and deliver improved stability when driving in winter conditions. The product features a simplified mounting system that enables fitting at the roadside and is engineered for demanding conditions such as steep or mountainous routes where additional grip is needed.

Advantages

These snow chains provide robust traction through metal link construction and reinforced cross members that distribute load and reduce slippage. The mounting system is designed for straightforward assembly, reducing installation time while allowing secure fitment on compatible SUV tyres. Built for heavy-duty use, the chains resist deformation under load and maintain consistent contact with the road surface to increase control on packed snow and icy roads.

Suitable for

• Drivers of SUVs operating in snowy or icy conditions
• Winter mountain roads and steep inclines requiring extra traction
• Emergency use when tyres struggle to maintain grip
• Seasonal use for regions with regular snowfall

Key specifications

• Designed for tyre size: 280
• Material: metal link construction with reinforced cross members
• Application: heavy-duty snow and ice traction for SUVs
• Mounting: simplified roadside fitting system for faster assembly
• Performance: enhanced stability and reduced slippage on packed snow and ice

How to use

Fit the chains according to the vehicle manufacturer’s tyre-chaining instructions and the supplied mounting guide. Park on a flat, safe surface away from traffic, engage the parking brake, and lay the chains flat beside the tyre. Position the chains over the top of the tyre and drive forward slowly to settle them into place, then secure any tensioning or fastening devices until the chains fit snugly without excessive slack. After initial fitting, drive a short distance and recheck tension and alignment, adjusting if necessary to ensure even contact and prevent damage to the tyre or vehicle.

Usage recommendations

Use these chains only on surfaces covered by snow or ice and remove them when driving on bare pavement to avoid excessive wear. Verify compatibility with your vehicle’s clearance and electronic systems before fitting. Maintain chains in a dry condition, inspect for wear or damage after each use, and store them in a protective bag or container when not in use.
