Snow Chains

woods767 · Nov 12, 2009

Im hoping to take my P38 to the Alps this winter, if i put a set of Genral Tyre AT2s on it, will i still need snow chains?

Its just got road tyres on it at the moment.

Rich.

They is compulsory in the Alps in Winter.

Then it would seem pointless to dish out £500 on tyres! Snow chains it is.

yep you get stoped and told to fit them

If it is really cold a good set of winter tyres make a hell of a differance. Have two sets of tyres for wifes audi quattro winter ones are way better in cold weather.

Does an AT count as a winter tyre, or are we talking about a different compound? Also the snow chains say "Do not fit with ATs or mud tyres", so i guess your screwed if you got off road tyres then.

just one warning about chains, if you never used them before make sure you put them on properly nice and tight or you will feck your tyers up.

I would say not our winter tyres are marked with M+S AND A SNOWFLAKE . It is recommended that winter tyres are run at temperatures less than 7 degrees.

The P38 Owners handbook specifically advises against using snow chains...

Not sure why.

if you are in the alps, which by its very nature is a snowy cold mountainous place used/famed primarily for skiing and snow related sports, would it be wise to fit skiis.

or am i being a dumbass!!!

or even better get one of thos piste basher chassis and plonk the p38 shell on it, that'd be cool!!
