To fold tire chains, lay them flat. Check for tangles. Place one chain on top of the other. Fold the end with large clips inward. Use a tarp to separate layers and roll them up. Store safely for future use. This method enhances clarity, improves usability, and prevents damage.
Once the chains are gathered, fold each side over the center. Aim for a compact rectangle that is easy to handle. Use a sturdy bungee cord or strap to secure the folded chains. This prevents them from unfolding and makes storage more manageable.
To store the chains, place them in a durable bag or container. Label the storage container for easy identification. Store it in a dry and accessible location, such as your vehicle trunk or garage shelf.
Following these simple storage tips for tire chains ensures they remain in good condition and ready for use. Next, we will discuss the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to maximize the effectiveness and safety of your tire chains.
