Snow chains...
Discussion
You don't need them in the UK, a set of proper winter tyres will get you through 99% of what we get here.
In all the "traffic chaos" that happened last time it snowed my l200 on winter tyres was going anywhere in 2wd most of the time, i only needed 4wd when pulling people out of ditches etc.

t with a lead foot your not going anywhere.Snow chains may be beneficial this week...have you seen the weather forecast?
That said - what's the point in having chains if the roads are grid locked with cars that haven't...they would only really be beneficial out in the sticks with no other traffic to impede your process.
Wrapping rope around the rim almost as good as chains...just loop the rope through the 'spokes' a couple of times and tie in a knot...assuming the rope won't interfere with the brake calliper of course.

Last time it snowed we had drifts collecting on the road making it 4' deep, i had no problems getting anywhere, by far the biggest problem i had was snow compressing then lifting the front of the pickup by it's bashplate.That said - what's the point in having chains if the roads are grid locked with cars that haven't...they would only really be beneficial out in the sticks with no other traffic to impede your process.

I have snow chains (they were bought for a trip to the alps) I have them in the boot of my car but don't really expect to use them. The main thing that will stop me using them, as highlighted on another thread, is the variance in conditions on different roads, i.e. some clear some covered in snow.
Its like having 4 bags of sand in the boot, holding the back end down nicely.
