Snow tires can give us a little extra confidence when the roads become slippery and snow-covered. However, there are also snow chains that many drivers use to increase traction on snowy roads. So, which one is the best option for you? Is there one that is better than the other? We’ll cover the pros and cons of snow tires and snow chains here.
The difference between snow tires and snow chains is that the traction of the chains adds large ridges to the outside of the tires. If you live where the roads are covered in snow and ice, snow chains are a great option for making the daily drive safer for everyone in the car.

However, roads that don’t have a truly consistent layer of compacted snow or ice are not a good option for snow chains, as they can cause damage to your vehicle or the roads.
In most cases with frequently falling snow and sometimes icy roads, snow tires are enough to add traction and make for a safer daily drive. Rain and ice during the winter months can make roads even more slippery, so it’s important to take care while driving.
