In Germany, the maximum allowed speed with snow chains is 50 km/h.
Anyone who practices putting chains at home before the first snow will hardly be afraid of mounting and dismantling chains. Because chains on a clean road are subject to significantly higher wear, then they should not be left unnecessarily for a long time.
Snow chains on the Vectra may only be fitted to the drive wheels.
Mount chains only with thin links that protrude no more than 15 mm on the tread and on the inside of the tire.
Tires with size 205/60 R 15 must not be fitted with snow chains.
Tip: after dismantling, the snow chains should be washed with as strong a jet of water as possible, cleaned with a brush and then rinsed in a bucket of water with detergent preservative. In this case, traces of rust will not appear.
