Tire chains may be illegal in certain areas because they can cause damage to the roads, increase road noise, and affect handling and braking performance on dry pavement. In regions where tire chains are prohibited, alternative options like snow tires or traction devices are recommended to improve traction in snowy or icy conditions.
