Why it's important to select the correct vehicle and tyre size
Vehicle
There are a surprising number of vehicles that cannot use traditional snowchains, the types that put chain on the inside of the wheel as well as on the tread. This is usually because there is not enough space between the wheels and the shock absorbers; this can be a problem for ordinary SUVs and 4x4s as well as for high performance cars.
You will find this important information in your car handbook - please check this before using your snowchains! Our database is intended to do the basic work for you but, with so many new vehicles and tyre sizes, it should only ever be treated as a guide.
Tyre size
Please also check your tyre size - if you buy incorrectly-sized chains they will be either too tight or too loose.
Ladder track chains
The good news is that car handbooks usually only refer to "traditional snowchains". Ladder track chains such as the Polaire GRIP and Spikes-Spider range only put chain over the tyre tread, so are not subject to these restrictions. They are also ideal for use on rear wheel drives where there is minimal space between the top of the wheel and the wheel arch.
Travelling with pets

Small pet carriers
Emanuele Bianchi Design have been designing and manufacturing small pet carriers for over 15 years. Their products are innovative and smart, based on a deep understanding of what helps pets to travel in as stress-free a way as possible. The user-friendly features are born of years of experience and product refinement.
The materials and manufacturing are top quality, but Emanuele Bianchi Design don't charge a 'fashion' premium, so when you look at what goes into making such superb bags, especially in the context of other premium pet carriers available, we think these carriers are exceptionally good value for money.
The Infinita / USB and Contour Messenger bags are ideal for small dog breeds, especially if you're walking out and about, shopping and meeting friends. It's the same for the Jet Set carriers, although these can hold larger breeds and, thanks to their hidden 'Forma Frame', they hold their shape and are therefore also ideal for cats - who also really appreciate the privacy and the well-padded, cosy interiors.
All the carriers are ideal for car travel. The side-release buckles on Infinita / USB and Jet Set can also be clicked into a range of accessories to allow for safe and easy transport on bikes and motorbikes. There are wheeled accessories to make air and train travel massively easier, and even a crash-tested ISOFIX connection for Jet Set, so you can be confident that your best friends are travelling at least as safely as you!
The Marsupack is an over the shoulder travel bag for small pets. It works best when worn in front of you, where a nervous pet is well protected, can see you and be reassured. It's easily extended to allow your pet more space.
WalkyBasket is the perfect accessory for taking your dog with you on your bike. It attaches quickly and easily to the handlebars using a quick-release fitting system. It can be easily removed from your bike and includes a padded strap so you can also carry it on your shoulder. Features include a water resistant removable lid, two mesh pockets on the side and a front zipped pocket so you can carry small items that your dog may need.
