Which of the following is sound advice about tire chains?

Correct answer: Practice putting them on before you have to do it in the snow.

Answer options

  1. AUse any heavy-duty chains, even ones sized for other tires.
  2. BPractice putting them on before you have to do it in the snow. Correct
  3. CCheck them for damage only at the end of each winter.

Why

Learning to fit chains for the first time on a cold, snowy roadside is slow and leaves you exposed to passing traffic, so practice ahead of time. Also carry chains that fit your drive tires plus extra cross-links, and check them for broken hooks or worn links before winter trips.
