tyre chains for snow and ice

[lakis123]

from your experience what chains or autosocks for snow and ice have you tried with 225/45-17 tyres for vectra-c 1.8 non-vvt.

None as you have to take them off when you get to a clear road, So winter m&s tyres is whats best to fit.

Just stay at home tbh, is there any where you need to go badly enough that its worth risking it?

The autosocks are supposed to be much easier to put on and take off. Snow chains are really only for use on hard packed snow as well.

Almost definitely more hassle than they're possibly worth.

I use Klack n go on the 225/45/17's (2.8 elite) and they work fine. Just need to take them off when you hit dry roads.

Do they ruin your alloys or tyres ? Whats your experiences ? Its essential I get to work too

[stripey]

If on for a long time then they can damage tyres but for occasional use in this country no issues. Never noticed any damage to the alloys either - although I might have another look when i go back out this afternoon

They look good. Hope theres no damage. I saw some thule ones just now, looked great. One problem, £300 !!! Forget that !!
