What is the maximum speed a motor vehicle fitted with snow chains is allowed to travel?

In Germany, when a motor vehicle is equipped with snow chains, the maximum allowed speed is 50 km/h. This speed limit exists because snow chains can affect the vehicle's handling and braking, and driving faster can lead to reduced control or damage to the chains and tires. Following this rule helps ensure safety on icy or snowy roads. Therefore, even if conditions allow for higher speeds, you must not exceed 50 km/h when using snow chains.
