Test fitted snowchains and now not looking forward to fitting them in the cold when its most likely on a wet gravel road...

/quote]

there are tricks and tips for chain fitting...

firstly what type of chain are they

what vehicle is it

I have driving on Ohakune MT road professionally for 20 years and although we run predominantly AWD vehicles now WE always carry chains as well...

I'm listening!!

They're just the snow sweat - easy fit chains you can buy from most of the auto stores..

I'm using them on my 96' GTB Wagon with the standard 17" rims.

Any tips would be great

[DRFVDR]

hehhehe real tips would be dont run 17"

I hope they are not these as I would not trust them as far as i can throw them

I am hoping that these are the ones u got

quick tip even though they are quick fit, I suggest you take a some wee blocks of wood to drive up on to makes it easier to fit,also sometimes it easier to jack car up so to give you more room around the tyre

also take your time,dont rush it and make sure you retension them after a few 100 metres, so many times i have seen a car stranded because a loose chain has come off, and even worse is the body damage cause by a loose chain catching on bits

Put pod filter set up off my other engine into my 96 last night. Goes way harder.

Today i started my high performance weight reduction

I just don't need it. I take the bus now. I pay $150 a month to insure a car I use two, maybe three times a month. Can't justify it any more

Oh.. I've got the top ones.

The diamond pattern ones do look much better.

Where can you get the diamond ones?

Driving onto blocks sounds like a good idea though!

[DRFVDR]

Repco should have them, or get them to order them in for u
