Snow Chains

<< < (2/3) > >>

BRO:
This is cool... (in more ways than one  :wink: )



Obviously 4 chains is the best way to go exploring.... BUT if you've only got 1 set for 'emergencies' - and they are required surely front is best... direction and drive instead of just pushing from behind... ?????

Anyone got any experience?

I've been told elsewhere that the 4WD and newish  :wink: standard tyres are pretty good on snow anyway... ????

Hi

the picture looks like its from this years croisere blanche, which is a great event and well worth doing.  attached picture is also from this years event. as you can see there was a lot of snow!

for 4x4's you should always fit chains on all 4 wheels, but in an emergency (ie you only have one pair), the majority of opinion suports fitting one pair to the front wheels so at least you can steer.  Since best advice is to fit 2 pairs, i can't see a  reason why you would only be carrying one set, unless one pair was broken.

you need to be be careful fitting chains to the front and ensure that they do not foul on the brake lines.

in terms of tyre choice, I  have found that AT's are the best in snow,  MT's dig too much.

HTH
