Kia Motors has announced the development of integrated snow chain tires, which are still in the development stage.

Kia Motors Unveils Upcoming Integrated Snow Chain Tires in Development

【PhoneAuto News】Recently, Hyundai and Kia jointly developed a technology called “snow chain integrated tire”. This innovative tire introduces shape memory alloy modules for the first time. When encountering wet and slippery roads, simply press the switch to automatically activate the anti-skid chain function, greatly improving driving safety and convenience.

According to PhoneAuto, the reason why this unique tire can activate the anti-skid chain with the touch of a button is because it fully utilizes the characteristics of shape memory alloy in its energized state. When the vehicle is driving normally, the anti-skid chain made of shape memory alloy is hidden inside the tire. Once the driver activates this function, the shape memory alloy will be stimulated by the current to restore its original shape and increase the vehicle’s grip and stability.

He revealed that this technology will first be applied to Hyundai and Kia models, and the team will continue to develop other related technologies to enhance the safety and practicality of automobiles.
