You will need your tyre size to order chains.....see below on how to send
us your tyre sizes next to the *
The minimum is one pair on the driven wheels but two pairs are better,
particularly if you're spending a lot of time driving in conditions where chains
are required.
IF YOU NEED ADVICE OR HAVE ANOTHER TYPE OF VEHICLE
( EG. CAR , TRUCK , LORRY )THAT REQUIRES SNOW CHAINS
PLEASE EMAIL/PHONE US FOR INFORMATION.
WE ALSO STOCK POLAR*FIT&GO SOX SNOW SOCKS* FOR CARS WITH
LIMITED CLEARANCE.
WE ALSO CAN SUPPLY ALL THE OTHER EQUIPMENT (LISTED BELOW IN RED)
NECESSARY FOR A SAFE AND LEGAL SKIING TRIP OR DRIVING HOLIDAY
IN EUROPE.
PLEASE REMEMBER YOU ARE REQUIRED BY E.U. COUNTRIES TO CARRY
SNOW CHAINS / SPARE BULB KIT / WARNING TRIANGLE / BEAM DEFLECTORS
AND REFLECTIVE VESTS REGARDLESS OF ROAD CONDITIONS.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
POLAR CHAINS USE DIAMOND PATTERN LINKS WITH CROSS CHAINS OF
SPECIAL ALLOY STEEL TO ENSURE DURABILITY AND LONG LIFE.
POLAR ARE T.U.V CERTIFICATED, THE ULTIMATE GUARANTEE OF EU
APPROVAL.
THE LINKS THEMSELVES ARE 9MM WHICH MEANS THE CHAINS,
WHILST RETAINING THE NECESSARY STRENGTH, WILL FIT ALL CARS
INCLUDING THOSE THAT HAVE LIMITED CLEARANCE.
THICKER CHAINS CAN CATCH ON BRAKE/SUSPENSION PARTS CAUSING
MAJOR DAMAGE TO BOTH THE CHAINS AND THE PARTS.
THE CHAINS HAVE A SPECIALLY DESIGNED LATERAL TENSIONING SPRING
WHICH IS USUALLY STANDARD ONLY ON MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE CHAINS.
THIS SPRING ENSURES THAT, ONCE THE CHAINS ARE FITTED AND
TENSIONED, THE POLAR SNOW CHAINS REMAIN EVENLY SPREAD OVER
THE TYRE AND ARE HELD TIGHTLY TO THE TYRE ITSELF FOR
SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE.
THIS FEATURE STOPS THE CHAIN MOVING OVER THE TYRE DURING USE
WHICH CAN RESULT IN REDUCED GRIP AND THE CHAIN ITSELF BREAKING.
A BROKEN CHAIN IS NOT ONLY INCONVENIENT BUT WILL OFTEN CAUSE
SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE CAR.
OTHER FEATURES OF THE POLAR CHAINS ARE :
AND THEN REFER TO THE TABLES BELOW, THERE IS NO NEED TO
INCLUDE YOUR TYRE READINGS OR YOUR CHAIN SIZE WITH YOUR ORDER
AS YOU WILL USE THE DROP DOWN BOXES TO SELECT YOUR SIZES.
CHECK YOUR VEHICLE'S MANUAL REGARDING THE FITTING OF SNOW
CHAINS.
INCORRECTLY FITTED AND/OR USED CHAINS MAY FAIL.
CONTACT WITH ANY SURFACE APART FROM SNOW,ICE AND MUD
IS TO BE AVOIDED.
IF THERE IS AN ' N/A ' AGAINST YOUR TYRE SIZE THEN JUST CONTACT US AND
WE WILL ADVISE YOU ON THE SNOW CHAINS AVAILABLE TO YOU.
EXAMPLE - IF YOUR TYRE SIZES ARE 205/55/16 LOOK THAT UP IN THE
TABLE AND THEN LOOK TO THE RIGHT IN THE POLAR 9MM COLUMN
AND THE CHAIN SIZE IS E9-90.

FITTING IS EASY AND QUICK AS SHOWN BELOW :
Step 1
Take the chain out of its container, untangle if needed and hold it so that
the red cable is top side with the chain hanging down.
Step 2
Lie the chain flat on the ground and pass the red cable behind the wheel,
from right to left.
Step 3
Take the two ends of the red cable,one in each hand,and pull it up to finish
with two ends together on the front top of the tyre.
Step 4
Hook the two ends together.
Step 5
Push the red cable backwards so it lies on the rear tyre wall and centre
the chains roughly over the tyre tread.
Step 6
Hook the red flat hook at the front onto the yellow front chain.
Step 7
Make sure the red cable is still lying against the rear tyre wall.
Step 8
Take the bottom tensioning chain with the rubber tongue attached and pass it
through the sprung clip.
Step 9
Pull the chain as tightly as you can.
Step 10
Pull the chain back on itself and pass through the clips if possible.
Step 11
Finally hook the tongue to any convenient link on the perimeter chain to
prevent it flapping about when in motion.
Removing: To remove the chain, follow the same steps from the last to the first one.
Attention. Each chain is adaptable to several tyres and therefore it is difficult to achieve a perfect fit without turning the wheel.To achieve a perfect fit it is normal practice to re-tighten the chains after driving 100-200m.
