I saw a car with chains - or some sort of grip-providing covers - on yesterday, and thought it was a good idea. But you would have to jack the car to put the chains on, and there is no way I would be able to do that these days, though in my youth I would have given it a good try
.
So, since the snow is not all that predictable, it could be a sprinkle that doesn't settle, or it could be like this, how would you go about getting snow tyres/chains fitted?
That's a serious question, I would consider it, but it would be impossible to get the car to a place where they could be fitted, since the snow started.
You DRIVE ONTO snow chains, essentially... there's also a kinda disposable (I think) tire snow glove that's all the rage...0 -

Problem with that is then when you hit parts that are not snowed on. You'd be taking chunks out of the road, lol.
Ah no, I know you'd take them off then but the hassle of that - just be careful.0 -

Depending on how they fit on, you might be able to drive onto them and then fasten them around the wheel. Pure guess though.I saw a car with chains - or some sort of grip-providing covers - on yesterday, and thought it was a good idea.
