2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey
Snow Chains

Over on another forum there is a big debate going on about using snow chains on a 4WD wagon.
If you read various Owner's Manuals from Land Rover they recommend putting chains on the Front for some models (including the Sport) and on the back for other models (Disco S1) and on all 4 wheels for others (Freelander), the only combo I haven't seen is putting them on diagonally oposite wheels which makes me wonder......................... does it really matter with a 4x4!
And why put them where LR suggest - somebody reckonned putting them on the back wheels was best to give better traction going downhill others say otherwise so what are folks views on this seeing as in the UK we rarely need to use them anyway, but if you are snow driving in some European Countries they are mandatory. When I worked up in Iceland you were required to run on studded tyres in certain winter conditions............. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW
