Thought I share a picture of the winter snow chain package that is Macan EV 20" soecific. For those of you that like running your car into the snow covered terrain.

I've dealt with that type of chain before. Once you know how it's pretty easy to put on, slightly harder to take off though. The first time you go to put it on, make sure you do it someplace warm where you can put it and and take it off a few times, because connecting the 2 stiff pieces behind the wheel blind is difficult until you know what you're feeling around for.

Thank you sir! Hopefully not worse than 4x4 truck chains and zip ties on my Taco TRD.

Here's an instructional video for this exact type of chain (RUDmatic CLASSIC | CLASSIC V | MAXI), I have bought the same from Porsche. It's an expensive collection of metal links...

Apparently there's no need to connect the hoop behind the wheel.

I'm not going to practice, instead I'm hoping not to have to use them...



And Porsche says to use them only on the rear axle.

When you need them,you need them. Always put chains, safety and first aid kit and water in my vehicles during winter driving. Just like to be prepared in case of problems in mountainous areas with spotty cell service. Only had to use them a few times, but made things much better.

Totally agree, one time I had to drive down from the ski resort down to the valley through a pass just when it started snowing. I was in a Model 3 on summertires with no chains. Was the scariest thing I ever did. Have never left for the Alps without wintertires and chains since.
