Snow chains give more traction.
Metal chains can be placed on cars in areas where it snows so that the tires don't glide over the ice.
The chains on tires reates traction, because it breaks the ice.
Lay the chains out in front of or behind the tires. Pull over them or back over them. Wrap the chains around the tire and hook them. It's also, a good idea to fasten a couple of rubber snubbers/bunjees criss crossing them across the hub. The chains will chew up your tire if you travel on a road with less than 3 inches of snow. But, California requires you to use chains with less than an inch. Depends on the state. To make it even easier, first drape the chains over your tires so there is an even amount of chain hanging from both the front and back of the tire. Next drive forward over the chains until the tails from the front stick out the back and can reach the other end of the chains. It is not recommended for front-wheel drive cars to use chains as they can damage the vehicle's drive train. You should only put chains on the "stationary" rear wheels, never on "turning" wheels. This is not feasible on front-wheel drive cars as the rear wheels do not supply any power.

In some weather conditions, tractors cannot perform well without chains attached the tires for traction. Snow, mud, and ice are all conditions that would make it rather difficult for a tractor to perform its normal duties. Neglecting to attach chains to farm tractor tires could result in the tractor becoming stuck in a bad position. Attaching chains would greatly affect the tractor’s performance against hairy situations such as these, and it would greatly eliminate the possibility of getting stuck. Preparing the Tractor for Attaching the Chains You’re going to need a little bit of room to attach the chains to the farm tractor tires, so park the tractor in a location that allows about 8 yards of room to move forward. Preparing the Chains Start by laying the chains out directly in front of the tires that they will be affixed to. Be sure to face the side of the chain that will go against the tire up so that they are facing in the proper direction when you go to drive over them. Also, it’s important to remember that different sized tires call for different sized chains so keep this in mind when preparing the chains. You can do this by measuring the circumference. Driving the Tractor over the Chains Hop on the tractor and move it where the tires are centered over the chains. This is an important step because you will want them to meet perfectly at the very top of the tire when you’re going to connect them together. So, yes, there should be an equal amount of chain before and after the tire. Connecting the Chains over the Tires While holding the front and back parts of the chains, pull them together over the tire. If you correctly drove over the chains, they should meet directly above the tire in the center. Now that they have met, it’s time to connect them. There may be slightly different variations of the way they connect depending on the manufacturer of the chains. Make sure there is no slack whatsoever. Testing the Chains Hop back onto the tractor and perform a test drive to insure that the chains stay properly attached.
You simply lay out the chains ahead or behind the tires and drive the car over them. Then you do up the clips. Or you can spend an hour doing it ELMO'S way. Your choice.And also where ever you buy it from they will put it on for you.

Studded tires have small metal studs protruding from the rubber, which provides more traction. Snow chains, which wrap around the surface of normal tires, work even better, though they are a hassel to put on.
You can buy tires online on online auction sites. Also you can buy the in online parts and cars shops and stores. They can be found all over internet.
When the brakes are hit very hard over a short distance, the wheels of the vehicles stop but there is still momentum in the vehicle. Due to this there are skid marks on the surface it is travelling. This is called as skid in tyres.
A monster car is any vehicle that is modified or built to show more of a truck look. Generally monster cars have very over sized tires, large engines and suspension.
A person who is 'kicking tires' on a car lot is someone who is just looking the cars over but does not intend to buy. Doing the same thing in a retail store is referred to as 'window shopping.'
