Snow chains for standard size car - GBP65
Snow chains for standard size car - GBP65
peugeot snow chains (rrp GBP85)to fit a small to standard size car. We purchased these chains in Jan 2008 for our ski trip. We used them twice so they are practically brand new. Very simpe to use and much higher quality than the no brand chains that are available.
snow chains/ snowchains are compulsory on most Alpine roads, even for 4x4 vehicles. Increasing numbers of people also carry a set for UK use, for snow or for grass, e.g. to give essential grip in green field car parks during the British summer.
They're particularly suitable - sometimes almost essential - for cars where there is limited clearance for your hands between the top of the wheel and the wheel-arch; they also appeal to people who just appreciate the technology.
The 'automatic' element is that there's no need to grovel around in the snow at ground level while you push a standard chain around the back of the wheel, no need to join a steel hoop together and then push it over the top of the wheel (which is where the "limited clearance" issue is important). You just push Classic automatic chains over the top of the wheel, drive forward a quarter turn so the tensioning chain and behind-the-wheel pulley system is visible, and then pull the tensioning chain tight before wrapping it out of the way.
They include pull through eyelets which prevent any part of the chain from touching and marking alloy wheel rims
They also have a reversible chain mesh for a long lifetime (but don't grind them down on the tarmac!)
They're supplied in a smart strong zipped waterproof ballistic nylon carrying case 50 x 50 x 4cm, so they'll pack nice and flat in your car.
We rate these chains very highly for ease of use, but they've also scored very high marks in test results for their traction, durability, tracking, braking distance and smoothness of running.
