hi, I just want to know if there is a speed limitations for this snow chain? and if there is what is the maximum limit?

Expert Reply:
With the Pewag, Glacier, and Thule chains, I recommend a maximum speed of 30 to 35 miles per hour. And with some chains, the maximum speed is 40 miles per hour.
Check your vehicle owners manual for specific information on tire chain use. It may list a different speed and if it is lower than the max speed for the chains, you must go by the lower speed rating.
I also attached an FAQ on snow chains plus an install video for you to check out to the right.
