    Snow chains for larger tyres

    Hey guys, where is the best place to find snow chains for larger size tyres? I trawled eBay and no luck with regard to chains that will fit my 285/75/16's. I would like to buy instead of hire as I want to more trip up to the snow in the troll.

    Cheers Adam

    I would have thought that most 4WD shops would stock them

    Yeah I should go in to one instead of being lazy and trying to buy off the net.

    There's plenty of them down here as well, just make sure they're the diamond pattern chain and definetly suitable for off road use as well (just in case). You'll spend a bit extra but you'll have chains for life. I think KONIG make a decent chain

    Hey Bob, not so mate, there are plenty of tracks to drive up around Jamison Mt Matlock through to Woods Point over the snow season. The Mecca mate, got to be done every year.

    Group of mate from my club do a boys swag trip up into the snow, got a permit to drive Mt Skenes last year was great.
    Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!! ....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
