Choosing your Snowsweat snow chains

Not sure which Snowsweat snow chains are right for you?

I have a 2WD passenger vehicle (family car/sedan/van/campervan/ute/hatchback)

Snowsweat snow chains are made for use with standard factory road tyres – the most common tyre used on public roads. Choose your chains by selecting the best fit for your usage:

I want a good value pair of snow chains that are quick and easy to fit: Easy Fit
I’m a season pass holder and I like to head off the beaten track: Diamond
I am not confident driving in snow and I want to reduce wheel slippage so I feel safe: Diamond

You may be able to use Snowsweat snow chains, but only if there’s enough clearance.
Tip: To check if there is enough room to fit chains safely on a modified car, turn the wheel to a hard lock, then run your hands over the tyre tread and behind the wheel. Also check the inside of your wheel arch for signs of wear. If tight turns are causing wear on the inside of your wheel arch, then you won’t have enough room for snow chains.

I have a car with enough wheel clearance, but there isn’t much room to get my hands around the tyre to fit snow chains: Diamond or Diamond 4x4

Once you’ve chosen the right chains, you’ll need to get the right size.
