A netizen in Yantai, Shandong Province, tested the anti-slip cable tie he bought, and did not expect that the cable tie was broken in half after only one lap. Manufacturers said that the advantage of anti-slip cable ties is that they are easy to install, but they can only be used as an emergency and cannot replace snow chains and snow tires.

Another video shows that there are only 3 cable ties left on the tires of this car, and the netizens suspected of being the owner of the car in the video said that "running a lap is half broken".

Netizens in Anshan, Liaoning Province, also posted a video showing that the vehicle started in situ on the snow, and the anti-slip cable ties of one side of the tire were all broken in an instant.

In this regard, some netizens said: "This thing is not OK, I bought it before it is out of the community, all broken, get off the car to see that there is a card in the brake disc." "It gets crunchy as soon as it gets cold." Some netizens also said: "Can't tie too tightly." "Electric vehicles are estimated to work."

However, it is recommended to tie at least 10 tires when using, and the speed of the vehicle should not exceed 30 kilometers per hour, especially when starting too hard. Mr. Yang introduced that the durability and toughness of the cable tie are also related to its material, the general anti-slip cable tie is made of PE material, the tensile force of one is less than 300 niu, and the anti-slip cable tie pull of PA material can reach 1000 Niu.
