Boron Alloy Tire Chains – Maximum Strength, Wear Resistance & Long Service Life
Boron alloy tire chains are built from high-strength boron-alloy steel for exceptional durability in the harshest winter conditions. The boron infusion allows deeper heat treatment and a harder finish, keeping traction edges sharper for reliable grip on snow, ice, and rugged terrain.
Why Choose Boron Alloy?
- High Strength: Engineered to handle heavy loads and high torque without stretching or deforming.
- Outstanding Wear Resistance: Hardened links maintain traction edges longer than standard carbon steel chains.
- Lighter for the Strength: Higher strength-to-weight ratio can reduce strain on suspension and driveline.
- Corrosion Protection: Often paired with protective finishes like zinc coating to resist rust and road salt.
Best For
- Commercial trucks and buses operating in severe winter corridors.
- Heavy equipment (loaders, graders, skid steers) working on icy, rocky, or mixed surfaces.
- Agricultural and industrial machinery needing long service life and rugged traction.
Selection & Compliance
Match chain size precisely to your tire dimensions and follow the manufacturer’s installation and tensioning guidelines. Check regional requirements before use — see tire chain laws by state for U.S. guidance.
