Slippery Conditions - Traction Devices Explained

Written by Thomas Ancart,

Traction devices allow you to travel safely on slippery roads and in adverse weather conditions. Most people who use these devices navigate in less than optimal conditions because it's their job.

Preparation is Key

Preparation for ice and snow conditions should begin before you hit the road. Equipping your vehicle properly can save you time & money but more importantly give you peace of mind. Choosing a traction device will depend on the conditions you encounter in your travel area, reliability, durability, and costs of initial investment and maintenance.

Each device has its pros and cons, and none is ideal in every condition so choosing an optimal method will require careful consideration of your specific needs. Doing the same old thing may keep you from discovering something better.
