Handling in winter: bicycle chains on the wheel - and like a tram on rails!
If the chain is a bicycle chain, this does not mean at all that it can only be used on this vehicle. What if you put it on car wheels to improve cross-country ability and as an anti-slip device? Someone will say: there is nothing new here - back in Soviet times, bicycle (preferably motorcycle or combine harvester) chains were placed across the tire and came out of any mud. That’s right, but if these pieces of iron are placed along the slopes, what will happen? Moreover, all this should be done to improve not cross-country ability, but controllability.


We will just mount the chain on the front tires differently. First, let's lower the wheel, then select a chain (preferably two on each side) of the required length - connect several sections with locks. At the final stage, all that remains is to pump up the slope to the standard value. Enthusiasts of their craft from the Garage 54 channel will show you the intricacies of the procedure. Everything is ready - the wheels on the front axle with chains are installed, the weather is helping: there is an icy area that will play the role of a testing ground. Note: the tires are standard, studded, not some kind of special one. But first, let's drive without chains so that we can compare. How will a “classic” VAZ “shackled” in chains (first one per tire) be driven? Watch the video!
