What do you do anyway, if you are using 275/40/R20 for winter tires as well? I haven't found any chains in that size.

when i went to france I bought a set (not on a RRS), but they had a return policy that if you didn't use them you could return them, less a percentage of the cost (like a hire charge) or get a percentage off if you keep them and
swap cars/wheel sizes with in a year. (Look up Europa Ski Lodge on google)

Obviously if you have to use them there was no return or swap available, but there is always the for sale section on here

www.roofbox.co.uk have a set of Farrad clamp on spikes for a RRS on 19" in a sale for £178

Think you'll have to have a set of 19" wheels with winter tyres that can take the chains.

I'm not sure there is enough clearance for snow chains on 275/40/R20's. So although this company makes them I doubt that they will take responsibility for any damage they cause to your RRS.

LR says in the handbook that you can't fit snow chains to 20" wheels.

So be careful. TDV6 - gone

Then I obviously have a problem; I will be going to places in Austria where chains are required, but I can't find a set of 19" rims available for normal money here in Switzerland.

Am I allowed to have 19" rims and tires on the front, and 20" rims and same brand/model tires on the back? Or is that complete nonsense?

Well I suppose a set of winter tyres and any old set of chains in the boot to keep the Police happy and hope you never actually need them will suffice  TDV6 - gone

Killerbob, I would imagine not a good idea. If the car wasn't designed to do so then I imagine it would upset the balance of the car and POSSIBLY be a safety risk.

Personally, I wouldn't risk it
