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.
It's really important to select the correct vehicle, paying attention to the year of the manufacture

The Tikkina is Petzl's brand leader, a very robust and easy-to-use head torch; we supply the blue coloured version. It's a good all-rounder, ideal for use around the home, car, campsite, but it's not really bright enough for e.g. night-time running.
Features:
- Three lighting levels (ambient, standard, maximum) with a floodlight beam, controlled by a push button switch; push again to switch off the torch
- 100 hours of light duration at ambient level (2 hours at maximum level, 300 lumens, 65 metres). Most people think the standard level is good enough - 10 hours at 100 lumens with a beam extending 40 metres
- Push-button switch reduces potential for inadvertently turning on the lamp
- The light beam can be moved down for close up work
- Single easy to open compartment contains both the LED bulb and the batteries
- IPX4 water-resistance - "resistant to water splashes from any direction". In practice this makes it suitable for outdoor use in the rain, but it's not waterproof - don't use it under water
- Uses three alkaline AAA/LR03 batteries (included); also works with Petzl's CORE rechargeable battery (not included)
- Comfortable, adjustable headband which can be removed for washing
- Weight: 92g, including batteries
- Can be used with Petzl's helmet mounts and bike mounts - but note that it's not approved as a bike light for road use

Delivery FAQs
When will my order arrive?
There are no deliveries on Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays, except for postable items where Royal Mail has a Saturday delivery. Express Delivery orders placed on a Friday (before 1pm) should be delivered on the Monday or Tuesday, Express Delivery orders placed on a Saturday or Sunday should be delivered on the Tuesday or Wednesday. The arrangements for Very Heavy Items are different and are shown above.
What about Next Working Day delivery?
Most Express delivery orders will arrive on the next working day, if the order is placed before the cut-off time (see above). Some will arrive on the second working day if there has been a "split-delivery". So-called “split deliveries” happen when the couriers do not have enough trailer space for everything that should be moved around the UK, so they will load what they can and leave the rest for the next trailer.
Is my delivery day guaranteed?
No retailer or courier company can ever "guarantee" a Next Working Day delivery. As well as split deliveries, all courier companies occasionally have the same transport problems as can happen to everyone else, including snow blocked roads, closed roads, traffic jams, mechanical breakdown, an inability to find the delivery address, or to gain access to it if, for example, it's in a block of flats. We work with some of the best couriers in the business, and overall they provide an outstanding service.
Do I need to be at home?
We are very flexible with our deliveries and will aim to deliver to an address which suits you – this does not need to be your home address. Goods can usually be left without signature - we prefer this with roof boxes. There's a "Special Delivery Instructions" box in the checkout area where we'll ask you to choose a typical instruction and then amend it to suit your particular requirements.
Payment options:
We take the following cards, and also PayPal. Please note that the entry on your card statement will be from "The Roof Box Company".
