What does SAE Class S mean?

What does SAE Class S mean?

Class “S” is the Society of Automotive Engineers’ (SAE) definition for the least amount of space that should be provided around the drive tires of any vehicle to accommodate the use of a winter traction product.

What are Type S tire chains?

Class S tire chains are designed for use on vehicles with restricted wheel well clearance. I have attached a photo that shows the areas where clearance for Class S tire chains is needed. For the A dimension a minimum of 1.46inches (37 mm) between the top of the tire tread and the wheel well is needed.

How do I know what size chains I need?

To determine which size of tire chains you will need, check the size of your tires first.

1. Look at the sidewalls of your tires.
2. Locate the first three numbers grouped together.
3. Find the two numbers after the dash and before the R.
4. Locate the two numbers directly after the R.

Is class higher than S-Class?

S-Class (S級, S-kyū): The strongest and most prestigious class of the Hero Association. Every hero in the S-Class is equivalent to an emergency army division.

What kind of traction cable do I Need?

SAE Class U Regular (non-reinforced) and lug reinforced passenger tire traction devices for vehicles with regular (non-restricted) wheel well clearances. SAE Class W Passenger tire traction devices that use light truck compo- nents, as well as some light truck traction devices.

What does SAE stand for in tire chains?

Definitions of SAE Classifications. SAE CLASS “S”. Regular (non-reinforced) passenger tire chains and cables for vehicles with restricted wheel well clearances. 1.46″ clearance on tread-face, 0.59″ clearance on side-wall. SAE CLASS “U”.

What kind of traction aids do I Need?

Available in three different models (Compact, Sport, and Alpine Pro), they attach to a hub-mounted system that allows its multiple traction arms to wrap around both the outside and driving surfaces of your tires. Spikes Spider traction aids can be installed in under two minutes, and don’t require you to reach inside of the wheel well.

What makes an autosock traction system so good?

The AutoSock utilizes specially patterned fibers that optimize grip on slick surfaces by managing the thin layer of water on top of ice and snow.

What is the difference between SAE and SAE class W?

SAE Class U: Regular (non-reinforced) and lug-reinforced passenger tire traction devices for vehicles with regular (non-restricted) wheel well clearances. SAE Class W: Passenger tire traction devices that use light truck components, as well as some light truck traction devices. Driving too fast with chains.
