Tire Chains Fold over fastener

Tire chains with a fold-over fastener use a specialized fastening mechanism to secure chains to the tire without traditional rubber or chain tensioners. Instead, they utilize a fold-over design to hold the chains tightly in place during operation.

The fold-over fastener typically consists of a durable metal bar or hook attached to the end of the chain. This bar or hook is folded over the chain links to create a secure loop, which is then locked in place using an integrated latch or additional fastening device.

To install tire chains with a fold-over fastener , position the chains evenly around the tire tread and ensure they are centered. Bring the ends of the chains together, align the fold-over fasteners, and fold the metal bars or hooks over to create a secure loop. Many models include a locking mechanism to keep the fastener secure during use.

For the best results, always follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions for fold-over fastener snow chains . After installation, test the fit to ensure the chains are snug, with no excessive slack or overtightening.
