We were snowed in 3 times last Easter in Switzerland. You can get snow chains etc from Rudds, they do several types, chain and rubber 'chains' for all sorts of cars & lorries. Before going last March I enquired on what we used to call 'Town & Country' tyres but could only get Michelin tyres at #10 - #15 more than normal ones. Will report on how effective these AutoSocks are when I've used then (Wednesday, Thursday????)
