There are lots more on the bay though, but non seemed quite as cheap.
Edit they seem to be scarce on bay now, I guess a mad rush to buy them in last few days.

They are held away from the rims by the rim protector lip on the tyres, I guess they may scratch a bit, but I'm not to bothered the wheels aren't Mustang standard anyways, just factory fit Peugeot 16".

These are only for low speed use on snowy roads anyway so really wont get much use to be honest.

I think I may need some of those tomorrow.. I have a fair bit of driving to do!

[DoubleTop]

wow that's cheap, snow chains for me start at £120, even on the bay of e. Good to see some thought going into your transport :clap

Not a bad thing to have with you if you get stuck, could make the difference between getting home and not.

[coiler]

you can really see how they help the grip, smooth tyre with a cm of tread VS line of metal every 8 inch to dig in the snow.

Shame about the alloy scratching action, but cracking price.

120 quid! wtf....

back in the states I had some fabric ones that worked great and cost me 19.99 USD from walmart! I had rota grids which are knockoff Volk TE37 basically but still did not want any scratching.

That would be like driving round with a pair of woolley socks on your car, which are greeat for grip in snow :clap

No, they are quite effective.

[DoubleTop]

They're so expensive for me because I already have 28.5" tyres on, and it's a 4x4 so they need to be real strong chains. On performance so far though, the big tyres and 4x4 has been fine, no slips unless 'playing'.

Thats what i'm saying they would be good :D

also the benefit they wouldn't damage roads without snow on them like chains do?

[gurusan]

Sorry, I read your post before I'd had my coffee :) And yeah I think they are slightly kinder to the roads, but there are still metal chains in there, just encased in some tough material wrap.

[Aaron]

What happens to the fabric if you hit a road which is snow/ice free?

[Will]

Went out last night did some drifting with my friend Ask0r (he's a member on here) in his Peugeot 206 totally span out at one point....it was great ;)

[Iaink]

[coiler]

Probably on the hard shoulder of the M60 knowing Will :surprised:

Icy 'backstreets' of the village where I live :clap it was at midnight so nobody was around (if that counts towards anything).

[PMM]

Has anyone ever brought those 'Snow Socks' instead of snow chains ?

[gurusan]
