Before heading off
❄️ Snow Trip Checklist ❄️
✅ Check Weather & Road Conditions
Look ahead at weather forecasts
Check for chain fitting signs and road closures
🚗 Vehicle & Wheel Chain Safety
Check your car’s manual – Some vehicles cannot have chains fitted (e.g. limited clearance, AWD/4WD restrictions)
Chains only fitted to tyres up to 35 inches. Bigger still need them just cant get them. Check ARB or Piranha offroad for custom made
Ensure you know how to fit your own chains or ask for a demo (Check our chains fitting demo HERE)
Practice fitting before you go – don’t wait until you’re in the snow!

Fit to driving wheels (front or rear depending on your car as found in your vehicle owners manual)
