| Description: | Special Report Abstract: This study compares the traction performance of a group of all-season radial tires, highway radial tires, link and cable chains. The tests were conducted on ice and snow. The all-season radials perform slightly better on ice, presumably because of the adhesive compound used in manufacturing these tires. The chains significantly improved traction on ice over bare tires, the link chain being best. In snow, the bare tires performed approximately the same. The cable chains provided only a slight improvement, while the link chains again performed best. |
