Are textile snow chains approved by the DGT?
Safe driving
Explanation
Textile snow chains are approved by the DGT and are a valid option to improve tire grip in snowy conditions.
- Driving in snow is complicated because tires have less grip, which increases the stopping distance required.
- The R-412 sign indicates the obligation to use chains in snowy conditions to continue driving.

- Chains, including textile ones, are placed on the drive wheels to improve traction and safety when driving in snow.
Therefore, textile snow chains are not only allowed but also provide better grip in snowy conditions.
