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.

Seat
We have not yet been told which chains may safely be used on this vehicle. We are listing all the snow chain options for this tyre, but please double check your vehicle handbook to see whether the use of snow chains is permitted.
Note that any of the 'Ladder track chains' in our list may be used even if your handbook tells you that snow chains may not be used - the handbook will be referring to 'Traditional chains' which also place chain on the inside of the tyres, which is where there can be insufficient space to fit chains.
