Mazda CX-80 Tech Drive: How to fit snow chains

Snow chains can make or break a great winter holiday. Here is how to fit them to the Mazda CX-80. Driving on snowy roads and tracks can require the use of snow chains. Snow chains are mesh-like devices that can be fitted around a vehicle’s tyres. They provide extra grip when driving on slippery snow- and ice-covered surfaces. Depending on the Australian state you’re driving in, snow chains are often required to be fitted – or at least carried in a vehicle – when driving in designated snow regions during certain months of the year. This ensures vehicles entering these areas will be able to drive on these slippery surfaces and reduce the chances of getting stuck due to lack of tyre grip. The Mazda CX-80 offers plenty of traction from its i-Activ all-wheel drive system, especially when OFF-ROAD mode is engaged via the intelligent Mi-Drive system. But adding snow chains can add another level of grip and certainty on white alpine roads. Fitting snow chains to the Mazda CX-80 – or any vehicle - is simple.
