Why it's important to select the correct vehicle and tyre size
Vehicle
There are a surprising number of vehicles that cannot use traditional snowchains, the types that put chain on the inside of the wheel as well as on the tread. This is usually because there is not enough space between the wheels and the shock absorbers; this can be a problem for ordinary SUVs and 4x4s as well as for high performance cars.
You will find this important information in your car handbook - please check this before using your snowchains! Our database is intended to do the basic work for you but, with so many new vehicles and tyre sizes, it should only ever be treated as a guide.
Tyre size
Please also check your tyre size - if you buy incorrectly-sized chains they will be either too tight or too loose.
Ladder track chains
The good news is that car handbooks usually only refer to "traditional snowchains". Ladder track chains such as the Polaire GRIP and Spikes-Spider range only put chain over the tyre tread, so are not subject to these restrictions. They are also ideal for use on rear wheel drives where there is minimal space between the top of the wheel and the wheel arch.
Car Dog Guards & Barriers
We have a range of
Dog Guards, dog accessories, safety guards
and more from top manufacturers including BICE and PetEgo.
Dog Guards are a partition between your car seats and
the boot of your car, ensuring that your pet can not
easily enter the passenger area of your vehicle.
It's not only people who need to be secured in a vehicle
when it's moving.
In a head-on collision, anything which isn't fixed in
place will pose a threat to occupants as it hurtles
forwards - and that includes your pet dog.
This is why keeping your faithful hound in the boot
with a dog guard is essential for safety.
Even if you don't have a pet, a
safety guard
could be a good idea to stop items like shopping flying
through the car in the event of an impact.
ONLY for cars with rear seat headrests
