Maximum grip in a few minutes: discover the Rombo Rapid T2 snow chains

The snow chains are essential when you face extremely snowy or icy road conditions, especially in mountain areas or in case of heavy snowfall.

The 9 mm Rapid T2 snow chains are ideal for those looking for a practical and quick to assemble solution. Thanks to the self-locking tensioning flexible cable, installation is quick and easy, even in difficult conditions. The 9 mm "d" section compact mesh structure ensures strength and high performance, while the internal side cable is covered with coloured PVC for increased visibility and convenience. The external visible coupling, combined with the self-locking tensioner, further facilitates the operation, ensuring a perfect grip on the wheel.

How to mount Rombo snow chains?

1. Positioning. Park your vehicle on a flat and secure surface. Make sure the handbrake is engaged. Extend the chains in front of or behind the drive wheels, depending on the type of traction of the vehicle.

2. Insert the flex cable. Run the flexible chain cable behind the wheel and connect the two ends of the cable to the top of the tyre.

3. Distribution of the chain. Position the chain on the tread evenly, ensuring that the links are distributed over the entire surface of the tyre.

4. External coupling. Connects the external coupling to the wheel and secures the self-locking tensioner to ensure a good adhesion of the chain to the wheel.

5. Tensioning. Move a few metres forward with the vehicle to allow the chain to fit perfectly on the tyre. Check that it is well-tensioned and adjust the tensor if necessary.

This process makes mounting quick and easy, even in snow conditions. Still have doubts? Watch our video tutorial!

F.A.Q.

When are snow chains mandatory?

They are to be used on road sections indicated by local ordinances, generally between 15 November and 15 April, except in specific cases, or when you plan to travel on roads where the grip of winter tyres may not be sufficient.

How do I know if the machine is cateable?

To find out if your car is catenabile, first check the registration: some cars, especially those with wide tires or low trim, may not be. Make sure there is enough space between the tyre and wheel arch (at least 4-5 cm) and that the chains are compatible with your tyre size. Cars with four-wheel drive or low height may require thin chains, such as 7 mm or 9 mm. If you have any questions, ask a mechanic or contact us to check compatibility.

How do you know the size of snow chains?

You can consult the table we have included in the description to find the size that suits your car.

Where do you put the snow chains on a 4x4?

On a 4x4 (all-wheel drive) vehicle, snow chains should preferably be mounted on all four wheels to ensure maximum traction and stability in snow or ice conditions. However, if you only have two chains, mount them on the front wheels if your car has a predominant front all-wheel drive, or on the rear wheels if the dominant traction is rear. Check the manual of your car for manufacturer’s specific instructions.

Rapid T2 chain approval

This product complies with the European standard of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport.

WARNING

Early installation. Install chains before entering snow or ice, so you can avoid difficulties and dangers when road conditions get worse.

Reduced speed. Once your snow chains are in place, do not exceed the recommended speed (usually 40-50 km/h) to avoid damage to the vehicle and the chains and to ensure safety while driving.

Removal on clean roads. Remove the chains when you get back on a road that is free of snow or ice, as driving on asphalt with chains can damage both the chains and the tyres.

Compatibility check. Make sure the chains are compatible with your tyre size and that the vehicle is suitable for use, following the manufacturer’s manual instructions.
