There’s a surprising amount of technology in snow chains; not only do they need to work as efficiently as possible, but they must be strong enough to cope with all likely situations, be easy to fit and remove, and be long lasting. Most modern cable chains are quite similar, so what's so special about RUD's easy2go chains?
- they have ‘cross grip’ links rather than ring joins. It takes longer to make chains this way, but they're much stronger
- they use 4mm wedge-shaped chrome-manganese fine-grained alloy steel chain – for better grip
- stationary fitting, i.e. there's no need to move the vehicle forward or backwards to complete the fitting process
- there's a patented "Permanent Tensioning Device" which removes the need to stop and re-tighten the chains
- the integrated wheel rim protection minimises the potential for scratches on alloy wheels
- the quick release ratchets speed up both fitting and removal
- they have a reversible chain mesh for a long lifetime (but don't grind them down on the tarmac!)
- they're supplied in a strong zipped ballistic nylon bag, making them easier to pack away than into a plastic case, and easier to store in tight spaces

Why choose RUD? Simple - they're reckoned to be the best. But don't just take our word for it; RUD are official suppliers to Audi, BMW, Jaguar, Landrover, Mercedes, Saab, Volvo, and VW, amongst others, and also supply the British Army - ample evidence that their snow chains are as good as they come.
