Spikes-Spider COMPACT - size C3 with 19mm...

The Spikes-Spider COMPACT has all the key characteristics of any Spikes-Spider chain system - it fits tyres which can't accommodate conventional snow chains, only takes 30 seconds to fit to both driving wheels, and is held in place by the pre-fitted hub mounting plates. "No stress!" Each COMPACT is easily adjustable to fit a range of tyre sizes, so giving excellent value. More important for day to day use, the traction arms can either be folded into the centre of the device or can be very quickly removed so that the whole lot can be stored in the recesses of your car boot, ready for when you need it.

Speed and ease of fit: Once the hub mounting plates are fitted, (about 10 minutes a side) there's no doubt that Spikes-Spiders are both the fastest and the easiest chains to fit; you'll appreciate this when it's dark, cold and snowing!

Please note that if you are new to this system you need to order both the Spikes-Spider and the hub mounting kit; both these items are pre-ticked in the order section at the bottom of this page.

How they work: They use studded synthetic claws to give a firm grip in both snow and ice.

As well as ski-driving, they're also ideal for UK snow use, especially in hilly areas.

Fitting is very quick and easy:

• If snow is expected, or before you leave for your sking holiday, fit a Spikes-Spider hub mounting plate to each driving wheel.
• When you need extra traction, take the COMPACT out of its carrying bag, remove the decorative cover from the mounting plate, push the COMPACT over the top and sides of the tyre and "Click" home the locking plate.
• Do the same on the other side, get back in the car, and off you go!

Other things you'll appreciate:

• No part of a Spikes-Spider touches the metal rim, so there’s no possibility of damage to alloys.
• Only smooth heavy duty plastic touches the wall of the tyre, so you won’t damage the tyre if you kerb it (kerbs aren’t so visible in snowy conditions).
• Spare parts are available - online ordering follows soon.

Delivery charges and arrangements:

Free delivery offer for snow chains!   As part of our Snow chains SALE we have added a free delivery option for all orders including snow chains, except for orders which also include a roof box. It covers all UK addresses except for any delivery address that includes a sea crossing.

See below for our normal delivery arrangements:

We charge a contribution towards delivery costs, depending on what you order, where you live, and how quickly you want the goods.

For most UK addresses, the charge for our two to three day service is £5.50 (£9.50 for orders including a roof box) and our charge for Next Working Day deliveries is £8.50 (£12.50 for orders involving a roof box). AutoSock, and small spare parts, are charged £3.95 (1st Class post) or £5.50 (express courier, usually Next Working Day).

There are different charges for any delivery including a sea crossing, and deliveries to Skye - we will contact you with a quote on receipt of order.

Orders for Next Working Day delivery need to be received by 4.00pm.

There are no deliveries on Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays. Next Working Day orders placed on a Friday will be delivered on the Monday, Next Working Day orders placed on a Saturday will be delivered on the Tuesday.

We are very flexible with our deliveries and will aim to deliver on a day and at an address which suits you. 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.

No retailer or courier company can ever "guarantee" a Next Working Day delivery. 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.

There are two parts to our snow chains end of season sale:

(1)   A free UK mainland delivery option for any snow chain order except any orders including a roof box or a sea crossing.

(2)   Huge discounts off our already discounted prices:  

• RUD, Spikes-Spider and Thule snow chains - at least 10% off!
