RUD-compact GRIP chains (pair) size 4030 no. 4716960 - RETURNED

RUD's Grip chains are perfect for occasional UK use or to take on the family skiing holiday. They're quick and easy to fit, and there's no need to move the car when fitting. The first picture shows both the outside of the wheel (left) and the inside of the wheel (right), and the smart new grey and orange colouring. Other features:

• 4mm chrome-manganese fine-grained alloy steel chain – wedge-shaped for better grip. Each link is 12mm high.
• Diagonal configuration track pattern.
• Reversible chain mesh for a long lifetime, but even so you should avoid grinding them down on the tarmac!
• Includes integrated alloy wheel protectors to help prevent the chains scratching your wheels
• Supplied in a strong zipped nylon bag which velcros to the carpet in the boot. It's much easier to use than a plastic case, and you can kneel on it when fitting the chains.

If you want to trade up a level we recommend RUD's easy2go chains; these are not much more expensive but they are continuously re-tensioned thanks to a "Permanent Tensioning Device".

Why choose RUD? Simple - they're reckoned to be the best. They're a German company who pioneered modern snow chains. But don't just take our word for it; RUD are official suppliers to Audi, BMW, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Saab, Volvo, and VW, amongst others, and also supply the British Army - ample evidence that their snow chains are as good as they come.

Important safety information: These chains will fit around these tyres but it is possible that they are not suitable for use with your particular make and model of car. If you have only chosen your tyre size to reach this page, and you would like to buy RUD chains, please visit our "What fits my vehicle?" database to check whether they are approved or not. You should in any event always check your vehicle handbook before buying snow chains made by any manufacturer. If it says e.g. "The use of snow chains is not permitted", this is important information!

Delivery FAQs

When will my order arrive?
There are no deliveries on Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays, except for postable items where Royal Mail has a Saturday delivery. Express Delivery orders placed on a Friday (before 1pm) should be delivered on the Monday or Tuesday, Express Delivery orders placed on a Saturday or Sunday should be delivered on the Tuesday or Wednesday. The arrangements for Very Heavy Items are different and are shown above.

What about Next Working Day delivery?
We have offered a reliable Next Working Day service for well over 20 years but, due to the pressure on the couriers caused by the coronavirus crisis and the huge increase in online shopping, we can no longer be confident about the delivery date, which is why we now call the service ‘Express delivery’. Most Express delivery orders will arrive on the next or second working day, but some will arrive on the second or third working day, or be split between these days. So-called “split deliveries” happen when the couriers do not have enough trailer space for everything that should be moved around the UK, so they will load what they can and leave the rest for the next trailer.

Is my delivery day guaranteed?
No retailer or courier company can ever "guarantee" a Next Working Day delivery. As well as split deliveries, 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.

Do I need to be at home?
We are very flexible with our deliveries and will aim to deliver to an address which suits you – this does not need to be your home address. 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.

Payment options:

We take the following cards, and also PayPal. Please note that the entry on your card statement will be from "The Roof Box Company".
