Chain for mounting on a vehicle tire

A chain comprising a sliding block chain for mounting on a vehicle tire, wherein the chain comprises a chain mesh which is disposed on at least a tread of the vehicle tire in a mounted state of the chain, wherein the chain mesh comprises a plurality of chain strands, wherein each chain strand of the plurality of chain strands comprises a plurality of chain links, wherein each chain link of the plurality of chain links comprises two essentially straight longitudinal legs disposed parallel to one another, wherein each chain strand of the plurality of chain strands comprises a first strand end link and a second strand end link, wherein each of the first and second strand end links are connected to one of the first and second strand end links of another of the plurality of chain strands by a connecting ring, the connecting ring having a width that is larger than an internal width of each of the first and second strand end links, thereby preventing the connecting ring from tilting relative to the first and second strand end links,

• wherein each chain link of the plurality of chain links is positioned obliquely in the mounted state of the chain positioned on the tread at alternately positive and negative angles with respect to the tread, wherein at least one chain link of the plurality of chain links is provided with wear elements,
• wherein each wear element comprises a wear web, wherein the wear web is fixedly connected to each chain link of the plurality of chain links, and wherein the wear web extends parallel to the longitudinal legs of the chain links, and
• wherein the width of the connecting ring consists of a radial distance between an outer perimeter of the connecting ring and an inner perimeter of the connecting ring.
