Choosing the Best Tire Chains for Your ATV

Elizabeth Morgan

There is an endless selection of tire chains available for all styles of motor vehicles, and ATVs are no exception. ATV tire chains vary depending on both the style of the vehicle and the driver's preference or needs.

One of the first things a potential ATV tire chain purchaser may want to consider is whether they want two or four link spacing. Spacing refers to the number of side chain links skipped between cross chains. With two link spacing, cross chains occur every two side chain links, and with four link spacing, cross chains occur every four side chain links. Most experts agree that two link is always better, because it provides for a more consistent ride by having more chain on the face of the tire. The result is a smoother ride, allowing for more steering control.

V-Bar chains, which are helpful on hills, ice, and hard packed conditions are available in both two- and four-link spacing. However, they are not recommended on pavement since they can damage the surface. Other options include Super Stud chains, which are a good choice for extreme traction applications. Some brands offer two robotically welded studs on every other link to provide the best traction possible, and the diamond pattern allows for a smooth ride. Finally, D-shaped square link ATV tire chains keep the chain on top of the tread for great traction and are easy to install.

With a variety of options available for every vehicle, ATV tire chains are a great way to increase safety and fun when crashing through the great outdoors.
