<p>The invention relates to a snow chain for a tyre mounted on a wheel of a vehicle, which snow chain at least comprises an assembly of chains (5) to be fitted and tensioned round the tyre and the wheel.</p><p>When driving with snow chains fitted, the chains of the snow chain move on the tyre and the wheel. In the first place this leads to a reduced tyre life. In addition, however, the wheel is damaged during use of the snow chains, which mars its appearance, in particular in the case of light alloy wheels. The use of a snow chain may furthermore lead to damage being caused to the corrosion-resistant coating of the metal wheel, resulting in corrosion of the wheel, especially if salt is used.</p><p>The object of the invention is to provide an improved snow chain as referred to in the introduction, which is characterized in that a disc-shaped element (10) having a diameter at least equal to the diameter of the wheel can be fitted between the wheel and the assembly of chains.</p><p>The invention furthermore relates to disc-shaped element for use in combination with a snow chain as described in the present patent application.</p> |
