Chains?

[Guest]

So what is the deal with fitting chains to our BE/BH Legacy's especially if they are lowered?

I'm heading down to the mountain at some point this month and don't own any. I don't really want to buy any either but with mine sitting a little lower and not having any experience with chains, are rental chains at the mountain going to fit if I need them?

Hey Brah, chances are you wont need chains, its not going to be 4wd AND chains this time of the year, though some freak snow storm may come through. I normally live up the mountain in winter, and in the last 4ish years I've only had trouble maybe 3 times? Chains are easy to fit, you'll be able to rent them down the bottom of the mountain and they normally help you fit them. I think they're about $80 to buy depending on where you go? Dont think your car being low will be an issue unless its ridiculously low

I know at mount hutt they are real fussy on who they hire chains to, the one time I have had to use them this season (been up twice a week since early june) they wouldnt put them on because they said the car was to low (this is a bg gt wagon standard as, not lowered or anything) they said they were sick of people making claims against them that there chains had damaged their cars somehow or another, so had to head back to methven and rented some chains from the servo there.

Also been up in a mates little nissan pulsar and they wouldnt fit chains because it had "fancy alloys" lol they wre sh itty factory nissan 15 inch alloys lol
