Bicycle Chains to Improve Cornering on Ice - will it work? 

It basically mimics ice skates. Put chains on the rear tires and that will help the rear end from kicking out as easily

seems like tires with groves would be good to secure a chain in

The chains are smooth in that direction. If you had short bits welded across between them (like a ladder) it would work much better for stopping. It might put you into the windshield.

when you added the second one it lead to a "chain reaction" 😂

with 2 chains you basically turned the front tires into skis

You should use chainsaw chains. The direction of the teeth would determine grip. Careful not to get cut.

Love that you guys are starting to do more scientific approaches. Willy nilly is fun but there's some good stuff in here and multiple runs of things help get the anomalies out.

Great works sir ! Just a thought about improving the braking with the chains, I’m thinking if maybe every 10 or so chain links you inserted an appropriate sized bolt and nut through the chain link so , the end of the bolt protruded through the chain link about 5 mm , essentially making the chains like spiked tyres. Given the nut and bolt would be slapping the road every rotation it may require a dob of weld on the nut/bolt to secure the bolt from coming loose or crush the end of the bolt in a vice .

A lot of motorbike hill-climb racers use chain like this--transverse across the rear tire--for improved traction in the dirt. It works extremely well.

vlads laugh is so funny

now, for threaded studs that let you anchor the chain at certain points. marvelous work as always

Id be interested in seeing 1 chain on each but not in the middle. Like all on outside or all in inside or one out and one in. I theorize this will not limit the contact of the tire on the ground as much, so braking would not be effected as much. And the offset for steering may allow for a quicker ability to grip.

Weld transverse links between two lengths of chain to the width needed for the tire, 8-12 cm apart along the circumference. Widen the separation between the two loops to the edges of the main surface area.

You guys crushed it again ! Amazing

I want Garage 54 to make a video on how fast you can spin a studded tire until the studs start flying out.

I’ve done 1 chain like this on the front wheels of my 4wd tractor for snow removal, it works pretty good

Tire keels. Sold only by Ronco.

I love the paint work on this vehicle! For stopping improvement the chains should be attached radially. I suggest an experiment with radial chains on the drive wheels, and like you did here for the steering wheels. For a second experiment, add the chains radial all the way around, then add chain like you did in this video over the top.

I wonder what would happen if you added chainsaw chains to the rear tires with the teeth pointed forward on the contact patch to aid in braking.

I thought this went well. I seen how you did the tire to the motorcycle. where it ran across through the spokes of the rim. Would you be able to to do that on a car tire? I understand the caliper will have clearance issues. Just a thought. I definitely thinks it's worth trying out the chainsaw chain, to replace the bike chain. I agree with that idea I had read in the comment

I am wondering if you could attach the chain with the studs by using a longer stud to go into the stud holes and thereby making the chain more stable on the tire.

Add small bolts in the spaces in the chain and tack weld on. Maybe 10 mm proud of chain and 4 mm bolt

chaiswaw chains!

Chains front and rear I think would make it handle like it were on rails. Wonder how chainsaw chains would grip?? 🤔

You should try to put chains on rear wheels as well.

9:08 vehicular jack slaughter.

Looks like fun. 👍 always a great job everyone keep at it.

1 chain front, 1 chain rear!!! gotta try it!!

Have you tried diverting some of each cylinder exhaust into another cylinders inlet. Wondering if that would become a natural supercharger or something similar?

Very good show thank you

Love watching your channel

I think it would be nice to see how it would turn with chains on the back too, love the show's

Obviously you need 3 chains per front wheel to increase contact area, some of the chains also need to be thinner. This is because of the angle of the tire changes when you are steering. Normal snow chains on rear wheels would help with braking.

Put some screws in the open part of the chain for the back tires.

instead of bicycle chain maybe you should use chain saw chains, you should get turning grip and stopping grip, if you have the teeth pointed the right way.

chains with little spikes or something like this and also on rear tires. Also it would be interesting to see, what old lada or mosvich engine do with modern 0W20 oil. oil pressure and so on how engine works with this oil. Also 0W30 oil. 0w20/5w20, 0w30/5w30 own choice, other number is important in this test.

try sharpened bolts in between some of the chain links

Cut a groove into the tire so the chains sit a little further in, just like the studs. That way you have more contact with the rest of the tire.

Thanks Vlad for another fun video. would like to see tires with cleats sticking out of tires by 1/2 inch . anyway keep the videos coming may GOD bless in these troubled times.

Between the two rows of chains, a thick wire or rebar could be inserted crosswise, on the front and rear wheels. 

Chainsaw blades coming up next...😅

Some people put what they call grooved tires on the front of their sand rails for better steering in sand.

Lets Do This!

I think it could be better if u put the chains horizontally

How about you remove the front wheels and replace them with some kind of ski? I did this to a Honda ATC and it worked good enough in the snow for a trike 👍

chain the back tires to stop oversteer ?

put some screws, nails, or some kind of studs sticking out from through the links in the chain to improve grip

How about just put two regular chains (not from bicycle, motorcycle or chainsaw)? Tire pressure will hold them in place and may be they would not get skids. Well anyway in tractor regular chains without any spikes will be enough, better than without them anyway. But there was some ladderstyle between them also...

Ice skates! EDIT: How about fitting ice skates in place of the front wheels. or a snowmobile setup?

Might stop faster if you turn the steering wheel slightly (slightly!) left and right. Ice skates, after all. Next time, try putting crossbars under the chains at regular intervals. Reinventing the tire chain, but for fun. Mostly, I'm curious how long those bike chains will last, especially if you hit pavement. But there are heavier chains . . . .

Chainsaw chains next? On the back also to stop the fish-tailing might help

Thank for putting your videos in English.

it works even better if you use an old tire and cut a groove in the tread about half the dept of the chain ive seen them use chans on go kart slicks for racing on ice and they first cut grooves in the tires (angle grinder held against a turning tire works eaziest )

Can you run a car without a thermostat? i am curious to see with this cold weather if the car will get to operating temperatures

Why not test this breaking with ABS???

I wonder if you turn wheel all the way to the left or right while hard braking and it should brake better then no chain 🤔

There's a lot of American rap songs that talk about this technique. They love talking about putting 2 chains per tire.

Put a chainsaw chains around wheels, will get alot better grip also for acceleration!

Probably better than the remanned tire chains my company provides for our semi-trucks lol

I wanted to see them on all four.

Please test if piston rings are rotating, I myself believe they are constantly rotating, however many of my friends believe they do not. I believe only on seriously worn engine when cylinders become oval they might not rotate... Or if anyone reading has some videos about it, or proof, please do let me know :)

Nice to know

Chainsaw chains next on all wheels!

Standard short hex head self drill / tapping screws (shed roofing) as studs for tyres. ???

Need try with chainsaw chain. Terth helps stop

Make a plow at the back as brakes.

Hey Guys, How about chain saw chains on the 2 Drive wheels !???

Maye try it with the the chains on all four wheels.

Chainsaw chains!

next time try with chains from chainsaw... :) should improve lateral grip as well. в следующий раз попробуй с цепями от бензопилы... :) должно улучшиться и боковое сцепление.

Silly Garage 54. A bicycle chain isn't what you want, a Chainsaw chain is!

Nuts and bolts though chaines

Two chains!!

Why not on the rear wheels?

What happens when you hit bare pavement? It doesn't look as though you have any. hahah I love your channel.

Love it.

You guys turned those tyres into ice skates

ABS would improve braking distance I wonder?

2 CHAINS!

Replace the bearings of the conneting rod on the crankshaft with ball bearings

Wonder how the braking would go with a car that has anti lock braking system. ??

If RWD, put them on the front and if FWD, put them on the rear. Might help in a couple ways but hurt in braking still

make some train wheels on a lada and drive it on the tracks

put them in horizontal line threw the rims you will have so much traction but use motorcycle chains!!

why do you not put chain saw chains on

Try the chainsaw blade chain.

O que acha de testar combustíveis de supermercado, como óleo azeite, querosene, bebidas alcoólicas diversas, álcool de limpeza etc. E ver o rendimento deles.

What about 2 Chene per tire for all four tires

Should have tried chainsaw chains, I would bet the stopping wouldn’t have been so bad. Just be careful not to get run over.

science 👌

One chain per tire, all four tires! The problem with 2 chains per tire, is turning them into ice skates. Excellent lateral control, (steering) no acceleration, no braking.

Love it 👍

Actually it's a proven concept. Dune buggies sometimes use front tires with a big rib in the center.

Try a chainsaw chain... that'll work. 😊

For braking, you need the chains sideways

How about some chains in the back to stop over steer

Use chain saw chains more bit nice

Does the lada not have abs

1 chain on all 4

Old bike messenger trick is to wrap zip ties around your rim 2 between each spoke, front and back for snow riding. It works killer.
