ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A tire-chain assembly for a vehicle-mounted wheel basically comprises annular inner and outer holders respec- tively engaging the inner and outer faces of the wheel. A least one traction chain crisscrosses over the road-engaging surface of the wheel between the two holders. The inner holder is of variable diameter, so that it can be fitted over the tire and then have its diameter decreased to allow the traction chain to be tightened on the wheel. Mechanism on this inner holder is connected via a flexible element that passes over the road engaging surface of the wheel to the outer face of the wheel so that a pull on this mechanism will reduce the diameter of the inner holder and tighten the chain assembly on the wheel. The outer end of this flexible element, Which may be a chain, is then secured to the holder on the outer surface of the wheel. A chain comprising a plurality of locking dogs or hooks may be constituted as the tightening mechanism so as to ensure self-locking of the tire-chain assembly on the wheel.
