Experience with snow chains
I have just bought snow chains for my car that are naturally suitable for the tyre size. But what I didn't know was that, at least in my case, the manufacturer of the car specifies exactly which tyre size can be fitted with snow chains (car manual). In my case, only 4 dimensions were specified and unfortunately not the tyre I have. My enquiry with the manufacturer of the car revealed that this is indeed the case, as if fitted anyway (tyres fit, of course), the wheel arch can be damaged as the distance between the tyres and the fitted chain can be too small. Lesson learned: always consult the car handbook to see whether chains can be fitted for the tyre size.
