hi all . need to get snow chains for a trip to the alps . ive been told its the law . can anyone tell me which are good , which are bad . i was more than happy to give the car a bit of a test with out them none

Get Spike Spiders. I have them on mine and I've used them in the Alps last week.

Easy to fit (once you've fitted the initial plate).

RRS Manual says fit on the front but as the braking works mainly on the rear I use four BUT you have to have the snow and ice setting on if you use four as that locks the Diff.

A set of Spike Spiders for the fronts should do you. 2005 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE in Artic Frost. 20" 2010 HST Alloys, sidesteps, Hawke tips, plus minor bits and bobs along with a remap. Four spike spiders ready for the Alps again now tucked up in their garage boxes...

All I can say is...... regular tires........ DON"T!!!! it'll end in

On regular tyres you'll be ok on the flat..... maybe sort of ok on a slight incline..... all over the place on most declines ...corners...and braking
That bit of rubber is all thats sits between your 2 ton plus RRS...and disaster !!

Spike spiders well worth the money... or at the other end of the cost scale a snowsock will suffice so long as its always on snow... and easy to fit as well...
