Abstract
In the several embodiments, a tire chain, and a method of installing a tire chain in which a line extends from each of the opposite ends of the portion of the tire chain that encircles the inside of a tire. In a preferred embodiment, the two lines cross the treaded portion of the tire diagonally, so that one line crosses the other, and are connected to the portion of the tire chains that encircle the outside of the tire. Preferably, the two lines are connected to each other at the point where they cross, which is about at the center of the treaded surface of the tire.
