malcolm.dobell Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 Try here. http://www.spikesspider.com/ or here: http://www.roofbox.co.uk/spikes1.html 195/65x15 equipped cars can use normal snow chains. On some versions with wider tyres there's no space between the tyre and the suspension strut for normal chains. Both my current and previous Alhambras were affected according to the manuals. Anyway once the wheels are prepared for fitting the Sport Spiders, actually fitting them is a doddle compared with chains. For something completely different try these. http://www.roofbox.co.uk/snowhome.html look interesting but have only seen one pair in Valmeinier on a Renault Laguna Quote
Tigger Posted November 24, 2006 Author Report Posted November 24, 2006 Have just purchased a pair of 9mm chains. Have had them on a ramp to play around to see how they fit. After a play around I can now fit them without a jack and fairly quickly. ;) There does seem to be enough room to allow them to pass the suspension Strut. Will try in a local fiels to test them out. Hopefuly will not need them when we go . I only want to use them just in case. :D Quote
