Wanted, SNOW CHAINS.

[Paultrol]

Morning Guys,
I am after some chains to fit tyre size 285/70/17
That's about 102" long. I only need 1pair as not enough room on front.
Cheers Paul.

I have a pair of snow chains in the workshop, I will try and check in the next few days to find their size.

[firebobby]

Not for your Trol I hope :eek:

You have a Nissan Patrol not a wide tyred, low slung BMW. I would have no problem driving my truck through snow, I have driven the T2 through lots of snow and up some pretty steep snow covered hills with out chains.;)

Point taken,but I'm travelling through 9 countries hopefully and its a legal requirement in at least 2 of them.

Snow socks are crap in my opinion, used to see dozens of them littering the roads having come off vehicles.
Chains are brilliant when there is a good layer of snow, better all round option is winter tyres, but as you're just need chains to comply with the law, there's no need for winter tyres. Just learn how to fit chains before you go as it's not advisable at the side of the road at -5ºC. The other tip is to fit them the night before a snowfall as it's easier to take them off in the morning if the snow doesn't fall.

Like the price but if it comes to it and I do get stuck, I'd prefer chain.

Good point about fitting the night before. :thumbs

As Don says, proper winter tyres make a huge difference. Snow socks are meant to get you out of trouble, but some leave them on and they don't fare well :thumb2

Fez we're going skiing in Feb and need some for a transit I havent bought yet lol I think the 30 x 9.5 15s might be a goer. How much please ?

[SilasStingy]

Good luck finding those snow chains! I think Trolpower is all you need and the roads are well kept here during winter. But if it makes you feel more safe :naughty
Snapped this picture this morning while driving to work. It's getting cold now and expect it to get even worse in February!
