The best possible handling characteristics are achieved when snow chains are fitted on all four wheels of the
vehicle. However, it is also possible to fit snow chains on only one axle (preferably the rear axle).
For safety reasons, vehicles with snow chains must not be driven faster than 30 mph (50 km/h).
fObserve the respective road traffic regulations.
fUse only Porsche-authorized fine-link cross-type or edge chains.
