Halfords: No, we can order them. should be here in a week.

BMW: We dont stock them.
Me: Not even some standard sizes?

Shocking, not stocking snow chains in London.

Presuming that it was London

Me: Some snowchains please
Snowchain Dealer: We haven't got any
Me: what, they're the single most popular item for travelling through snow in the world
Snowchain dealer: Not round here sir.
Halfords: How did I get here, I was in a BMW dealer a minute ago?

Hardly surprising. Not exactly a fast moving stock item in the UK. Why stock something that they will be lucky to sell one a year of?

Snowchain: Nobody loves me, and then when I'm needed to do some work, I'm in too much demand!

Should have ordered them a week ago by the sounds of things.

OP, do you honestly think that it is economical for either Halfords or a BMW dealer to keep a supply of snow chains on hand in this country, "just in case" someone comes in wanting some?

[Orangecurry]

I've got some.

Make me an offer.

If it's good enough I might even tell you what size wheel/tyre they will fit.

Up the offer some more and I'll deliver them this afternoon.

The closer the snow-clouds get to Guildford, the more the cost will climb.


tick tick tick

[Ranger 6]

So have I...

and I'm closer to Guildford....

But they probably won't fit the BMW in your profile.....

[Uhura_Fighter]

You want some snow socks - fit the lot in the time it takes to fit one chain/wheel.

linky

Just google snow socks for other links.

[HellDiver]

You're a bit late looking for them now. Three weeks ago when the snow started would have been a better idea.

Cant stop or steer any better, unless they have decent off road or winter tyres - as shown by all the 4wd cars stuck last week.

Snow is set to start falling these eve for pretty much the whole week.
