Today were going to be test fitting the Glacier snow tire chains, part number PW2029C. Well
be mounting them on 235 7016 tires on a 2008 Ford Escape. Our Escape is front wheel drive
so well be mounting them on the front tires only. Be sure to check your owners manual
for more information on the use of tire chains with your vehicle. To mount the chains first
well turn our wheel all the way out. Well lay out our chains on the ground to make sure
there are no kinks in them and to position the chain in the proper orientation.
This set of chains has a right hand side and a left hand side so well going to make sure
we use the right hand side here on the passengers side of the vehicle. We want to make sure
that the hooks for each of the cross pieces are facing out so that they dont make contact
with the tire. We also want to make sure to position the chain for the proper rotation.
Once weve done that well take the chain and set it up on top of our tire. We want to make
sure that its spaced evenly on the inboard and outboard side of the tire and well pull
it down forward to the base
of the tire.
