Practice question

Why should commercial drivers never use tire snow chains on dry, bare asphalt roads at high speeds?

  1. Driving with chains on bare asphalt damages the road surface, destroys the tire casing, breaks chain links, and causes severe vibration and loss of steering
  2. Chains grip bare asphalt better than rubber, so braking distances shorten
  3. Chains fitted to the drive axle remove the need to reduce speed on any surface
  4. Chains left on dry road wear evenly and can therefore be left fitted all winter

Answer: A — Driving with chains on bare asphalt damages the road surface, destroys the tire casing, breaks chain links, and causes severe vibration and loss of steering
