What Makes the Werkthor WT 50 Stand Out
The combination of stainless steel material and a 2-pack configuration offers both durability and convenience. The chains are designed for straightforward fitting and consistent traction on compacted snow, making them a practical choice for regular winter commutes and occasional mountain trips.
Ideal for...
Drivers of passenger vehicles with 13"–16" tyres who need a dependable, certified snow chain set for winter conditions. Suitable for daily winter driving in snowy regions as well as occasional use on mountain passes and rural roads where snow and ice are common.
Application of the Werkthor WT 50
Check the tyre width and rim diameter of the target axle (must fall within 13"–16" range)
Install the chains on the drive axle before entering snow or icy road conditions
Drive at reduced speeds (max 50 km/h) and remove chains once road surfaces are clear
Store the chains in a dry location after use to preserve the stainless steel surface
Werkthor is a specialist manufacturer of winter vehicle equipment, focusing on snow chains and traction accessories. The brand's product range is built around certified, durable materials — primarily stainless steel — designed for European passenger vehicles. Werkthor chains are distributed through the Alltron/Brack wholesale network and are available on the emparo Swiss online shop.
The WT 50 set fits passenger car tyres with rim diameters between 13" and 16". Check the tyre sidewall for the exact rim diameter and width before purchasing to confirm compatibility.
Yes. The Werkthor WT 50 is certified to both EU and Ö-Norm standards, which are the recognized European safety and performance requirements for snow chains on public roads.
The chains are made of stainless steel, which resists rust and corrosion. This material choice ensures the chains remain functional and visually intact across multiple winter seasons with proper storage.
The set includes two individual snow chains — one for each side of the drive axle. No additional hardware or tensioners are listed in the supplied components.
After removing the chains, allow them to dry completely before storing in a dry, ventilated area. Stainless steel does not require special treatment, but removing road salt and dried mud after each use helps preserve the surface.
