We drive back to Geneva on Wednesday evening with a few more cm of snow expected. So there's a chance we could need snowchains. I'm reluctant to rent a set because it's more expensive than buying the cheapo ones. Anyone know of a French equivalent to Halfords we can pick up a dirt cheap set? I'd try bringing them back and reselling to recover most of the cost. Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person. From French sector of airport turn left away from runway then right at two roundabouts. Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see? You need to Login to know who's really who. Also, 2 years ago the super u at Bourg had lots. Probably no good if your car has not-so popular tyre size. Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do. LittleBullet , Carrefour in Moutiers also sell them, as does Geant the large supermarket in Albertville. Very reasonably priced as well. As you say, cheaper than renting them. You'll need to Register first of course. LittleBullet , Assuming you are flying and renting a car. Buy snow socks in Halfords in UK, if unused take them back and get a full refund Only flaw in this plan is if you get a free upgrade of hire car. Then you can post your own questions or snow reports Thanks everyone, few back up and there too. Hadn't thought of the Halfords idea, one to try another time. Has anyone tried taking snowchains on as hand luggage? After all it is free. LittleBullet wrote: Thanks everyone, few back up and there too. Has anyone tried taking snow chains on as hand luggage? You could also end up with a free upgrade, as they had resold you car. Unless you plan on taking them back if you do not use them, then it may be less hassle to just rent some. You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net. Recall metal snow chains normal type were contentious when someone tried to include in hand luggage on past posts. Thought they had to leave them coming back. Ski the Net with snowHeads. Likewise any Roady - just make sure you have the tyre size written down, it can be a bewildering array of numbers on the boxes. I wouldn't risk taking something which might not fit the random car I was given by a car hire company! And if picking up a car with chains in the boot, it's worth checking they actually fit - they sometimes don't! And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports. So if you're just off somewhere snowy come back and post a snow report of your own and we'll all love you very much. Stop at the grocery store. You know it makes sense. Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:. Be sure that your model of vehicle can actually take chains without damaging the wheels and components. Just because a chain set can be fitted to a particular tyre size doesn't necessarily mean that it's OK when that tyre is on a particular vehicle. Also, some chain sets will show they fit a surprisingly wide range of tyre sizes. Which is not something you want to be doing when you're actually trying to fit them. I had this with the latest set of chains I bought in the UK - it took about 25 minutes per set to adjust the chains to fit my particular wheels. So if you do buy new chains - in the UK or abroad - read the instructions carefully to see if they need this sort of initial adjustment. So if the chains you're looking at fit only a narrow range of tyre sizes that's potentially A Good Thing. Was a bit touch and go but we managed to find snow chains at Geant in Albertsville, Carrefour and Feu Vert were both shut by the time we got there. I'll update you on my disposal strategy later this week. LittleBullet , Great result! Went to the supermarket on the way home, didn't use the snowchains so simply returned them for a cash refund. Thanks everyone! I bought chains for our hire car from Feu Vert in Carcassonne en route to the Pyrenees last year. New Topic Post Reply. Snow Snow Snow!
