Thread: Car Chains Free

Anyone looking for a set of chains? pretty sure these are snowsweat orange band ones.

NZ Made, never used. Just kicked around in our wagon. Pretty sure was for the Corolla even though may not have been the correct size at the time..

$FREE pp.

I'd be keen if they fit. Is there a size on them?

I guess orange band,, possible red but hard to tell. Label worn off. Picture is sizing chart if it will let me upload..

Like 205/50/15s or similar if the are orange. Can’t upload the table atm.. let me know your size and can check.

Ok. Thanks. Bit small for what I need.

Bugger. I’ll keep digging cause somewhere in my mess is a bigger set off my old mates CRV. Can’t put my finger on them just now.

No problem. Thanks for your effort.

Anyone.. these will be off with the the pile to the recycling centre at the end of the week happy to post. Will be about $15 at a guess.

do not chuck them out....I will go check my set,pretty sure they same colours...hold the line caller.

Local high school? Must be someone needing a set going into winter

hmmm nope ours are orange and purple like yours but have more wee orange spacers each side of links.....however,you can get away with quite a bit with chains AS LONG AS you drive slowly,so if one comes off you dont wreck stuff...try fitting onto the spare tyre at home,as long as it will fit across width well with decent amount coming down the side wall and you can join up the ends of chains....you can add an extra link or 6 if needed... you should be fine, another trick is to add bungy cords of some type some how across outer edge to help pull chains down onto tyre treads...years ago we hired a set...13" tyres I said...got down to glenorchy and the chains were as loose as hell.....my first experience /knowledge that all tyres werent same fatness or profile...we got by but had to drive less than 10kmph or they flailed around and hit mudguards......

if all else fails hang them on your letterbox with free sign...they will dissappear quick enough.

That’s not a bad shout.. I have a range hood to pass on aswell..

The old refuge centre here goes well, so when I say recycle.. genuine reuse not rubbish as such.

Either way no stress cheers for having a look
