The Compact 4x4 chains are popular for their unique compact design and easy use. Made in New Zealand the Compact 4x4’s have been constructed to suit motorists travelling around New Zealand during winter sightseeing, accessing ski resorts and for safe travelling. The unique compact design makes it easy to store in the back of the vehicle. These chains can also be used in mud and to get out of other sticky situations.
