    Thanks, I have used chains where winter tires gave up.
    Chains are for use in thick snow.

    My advice:
    Winter tires on Compact snow
    Chains on thick snow
    Studded tires on ice.

    1/2 inch studs for racing on ice.

    Andy,

    According to my local tyre fit shop, snow chains are illegal in the U.K.

    Snowchains are perfectly legal to use on UK roads as long as the tarmac surface has a protective covering of snow/ice. You are not allowed to use snowchains on cleared roads with exposed tarmac.
