    Where? I have read the legislation on this... You can't state something is illegal unless it's backed up by legislation. Fact is they do as good or even better job than chains. If the RTA is to naive to realise that, it's their problem not mine. I'll use products that are going to give me the best situation in snow and ice. And these days, that's NOT snow chains.

    Oh well, lucky I don't drive a 2WD car.

    another brand:

    http://www.rud.com/en/produkte/schne...kw/hybrid.html

    this is more traditional chain, but doesnt have the chain link it the rear so easier to instal on low profile tyes or lowered cars. also doesnt have metal link so doesnt scratch your rims.

    suitable for 2WD.

    wont be in Oz til October so no good for this season

    youre right rocket. as a forum chatter its absolutely my obligation to "back this up with legislation".

    I would suggest that if someone is looking to buy, then they do their own homework. i'm merealy passing on comments from another forum (dedicated to snowy stuff)
