Polaire Steel Sock 116 Snow Chains
Polaire Steel Sock 116 Snow Chains
Polaire Steel Sock snow chains are an innovative solution designed for drivers who demand complete control, safety, and driving comfort in winter. Their hybrid design , combining steel links with a flexible webbing, makes them ideal for even extreme conditions—on snow-covered roads, steep climbs, or icy trails—where standard winter tires are no longer sufficient.
This model was designed for passenger cars and SUVs where space between the tire and suspension is limited. At just 6 mm thick on the inside of the wheel , the Polaire Steel Sock is among the thinnest and most versatile snow chains available on the market. It's an ideal solution for vehicles whose manufacturer doesn't specifically designate the installation of traditional steel chains.
A durable construction combining polyurethane plates with 9mm square steel links provides excellent traction, stability, and abrasion resistance. The diamond-shaped tread pattern allows for better pressure distribution across the road, improving cornering traction and shortening braking distances on snow and ice.
The Polaire Steel Sock is equipped with an intelligent self-tensioning system that automatically adjusts the chain to the tire while driving . Thanks to the flexible rubber band, installation is quick and easy, and doesn't require moving the vehicle. The system reduces vibrations and ensures perfect adhesion, ensuring a quiet and stable ride even at higher speeds.
The chains are fully compatible with modern safety systems such as ABS , ESP , and TPMS , making them suitable for use in most modern vehicles. The Polaire Steel Sock meets the requirements of European standards – EN 16662-1 , ÖNORM V5117 , and B26 – which apply in countries where the use and possession of snow chains is mandatory.
The kit includes two chains , 12 adjusters , protective gloves , and installation instructions . The entire kit is packaged in a semi-rigid case with a zipper and a carrying handle for convenient storage in the trunk. The maximum speed with chains installed is 50 km/h , which is standard in this category and guarantees safe use.
The product fits many popular tire sizes , making it a universal solution for a wide range of vehicles. However, before purchasing, it's recommended to check the vehicle's manual to see if the manufacturer allows the use of chains with a specific link thickness.
