Default Re: Snow Chains

I have not used the "spanners". They may be available from the web site that I mentioned.

The bar chains look like a great idea but I would expect them to wear very quickly on hard surface. I measure the longevity of a set of chains in hundreds of miles, certainly not thousands.

When a cross link breaks, and it will happen, be prepared for some serious noise. I have had them break "off center" where the end of a broken link starts doing a number on the underside of the fender. That is the main reason I won't use chains on a restored car. You can easily install a "beater" set of rear wheels and not worry about the rims. Fenders are another matter. Gar Williams
