Brambles Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Clive, certainly when I had XC's I always managed in snow but I now have Agilis camping and are a lot better for grip, especially when moving off or braking on snow. Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave J S Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Brians advice is sound ( price is important. Snowchains £150 autosocks £65 approx) but I have heard of a material that you can spray onto your tyres that give good traction. I wonder if anyone out there could elaborate.

sheer lunar-see Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 got my chains from Ebay, brand new, £55.95 a month ago. we off to Morzine for a bit of skiing on the 6th jan, meeting up with friends and family. Let you know how we got on, or not. Havn't used chains since I worked in Norway in 1978-80, incidentally on summer tyres both winters, in a type 2 vdub van, only trouble I had was the oil, had to change to a lighter viscosity as it was so cold, the engine had trouble turning over.
