Titan Chain Diamond Alloy Snow Tire Chains Installation - 2013 Ford Focus

Speaker 1: Today on this 2013 Ford Focus, we'll be test fitting the Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains with a Diamond Pattern and Square Links, part number TC1547, and this is with tire size 215/50/R17.Here's what are chains look like installed. This is an SAE Class S rated chain, which is critical for a vehicle such as this one that have very low wheel well clearances. Our built-in manual tensioner makes it easy for us to take the slack out of our chain. Our square links with the diamond pattern on our chain gives us superior traction in snow and ice, giving us the ability to accelerate and stop much better. The reason why this diamond pattern is better for traction is because it will dig into snow and ice giving you something to bite onto, so you have the traction you need in order to get moving and to stop easier.As opposed to other chains on the market, which features large links, these small links here will give us a smoother ride. The reason why having the small links gives you a smooth ride is because the chain itself is closer to the tire so you have much less of a bump that you're going over, so it's not like you're running over railroad tracks as you travel down the road. more
