You could try using Auto Socks:

Heard about them on Major Nelsons (Xbox) podcast. Apparently they are becoming very popular in the states. The good thing about them is that they don't need to be removed when you drive on patches of road with no ice and snow. They are also quite universal so one size fits many wheels.

Check out the Demo Movie, quite impressive!

Edit: Gutted, just checked the size chart and the biggest they cater for is 265/75-R15

Some of the "truck" ones should fit tho

Will, you should have got a Gallardo or something with 4wd. might have stood a little bit more of a chance or getting up the mountain!

Will Gill · 27 Dec 2007 at 11:07

seems the wheel size is a nightmare to cater for

275,35,19

PITA!

Sounds random but it might be worth giving mercedes a call, my S-class tyres are that same size, and mercedes definately do snow chains for my car.

Are these actually any good though? I stumbled accross them recently when I was looking for chains, but I wasn't so sure they'd be as good?

From what the guy who's Pod cast I was listening too, it does seems so, apparently they are very hard do get hold off in the states.

The website and video has lots of links/shots of successful reviews. They are also German TUV approved.

Ki$$ goodbye to your 5k deposit. I remember being in a 5.3 XJ6 with no chains in the Jura mountins, very scary for the owner at the time
