Snow chains Michelin Easy Grip EVOLUTION 17 - Michelin, model S9000702

Snow chains Michelin Easy Grip EVOLUTION 17 are traction accessories developed by Michelin to improve vehicle grip on snow and ice for cars with compatible 17-inch wheels. Designed for temporary winter use, they help increase traction and braking performance on snowy or icy roads while remaining compact and easy to install. The design balances grip enhancement with compatibility for vehicles that do not allow traditional metal chains, offering an alternative for short stretches of winter driving.

Advantages

The construction combines rubber and high-strength fiber elements to deliver consistent traction on packed snow and ice without damaging wheel rims or surrounding components. Their relatively low profile and adaptive form allow use where space between the tire and wheel arch is limited. Michelin Easy Grip EVOLUTION 17 are lightweight and store compactly, reducing the space required in the trunk. The system is engineered for fast fitting and removal compared with many conventional chain solutions, and it minimizes vibration and noise during use.

Suitable for

• Passenger cars with compatible 17-inch wheels requiring temporary traction assistance.
• Short stretches of snow-covered or icy roads, such as mountain passes and rural routes.
• Drivers seeking a non-metallic alternative to traditional tire chains where permitted.

Key specifications

• Wheel size compatibility: 17-inch wheels.
• Material composition: rubber and high-strength textile/fiber elements for traction.
• Intended use: temporary traction on snow and ice, not for permanent or dry-road use.
• Fit type: external traction device requiring mounting over the tire tread and sidewalls.
• Storage: compact, lightweight design suitable for trunk storage.

How to use

Fit the Michelin Easy Grip EVOLUTION 17 over the tire according to the manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring the traction elements are centered on the tread and that the system is properly tensioned. Drive slowly and test the fit at low speed, then recheck and retension if necessary. These snow chains are intended for temporary use only; remove them when reaching clear, dry roads to avoid excessive wear. Regularly inspect the product for damage and replace if any component shows significant wear.

Usage recommendations

Use only on snow or ice and follow local regulations regarding traction devices. Maintain reduced speeds and avoid abrupt maneuvers while chains are fitted. Store the product dry and clean after use and follow any vehicle manufacturer restrictions about using traction devices on your specific model.
