Spikes Spider ALPINE PRO
ALPINE PRO’s features
- Simple and extremely fast to fit and remove (Fitted from the outside in a matter of seconds. No need to reach behind the tire or lie on the ground)
- Will not rust – Designed using heat-treated, high chrome steel chain and engineering-grade polymers
- ABS and traction control compatible – vehicle safety systems continue to work as normal because the chain does not grip the tire
- Zero-clearance compatible – The chain system does not extend around the back of the wheel making it ideal for modern vehicles with very limited clearances behind the wheels and inside the wheel arches
- Adjustable to suit a range of wheel diameters right up to the biggest 4×4 tires
- Will not damage or scratch alloy wheels
- Outstanding traction on ice and snow 150mm+ depth – ALPINE PRO provides outstanding traction in deep snow, ice, wet grass, mud and on steep gradients and hilly terrain
- For heavy-duty use and vehicles up to 5,000kg.
Construction
The ALPINE PRO model boasts a full-circumference chain complete with horizontal traction cleats (rather like a bulldozer or tank track). The system does not grip the tire at all, but provides a continuous traction surface between the tire and the road for outstanding grip.
The high grade polymers used in the SPIKES SPIDER system are extremely resistant to abrasion whilst remaining strong and flexible in temperatures as low as -40C. High-chrome stainless steel chain resists rusting and provides excellent traction throughout the full wheel rotation.
Adjustment
The ALPINE PRO system is available in 5 sizes up to 850mm overall wheel diameter. Each size has approximately 6cm of adjustment in overall wheel diameter (please see the Tire Size Selector to select your size)
