To fit 215/40/17 or 215/45/17.
Still boxed - unused. Bought in a French service station for €90.
Any sensible offers.

Sorry Dave I don't know the answer to that.
I have never used (these or any other) snow chains so I don't know how much give there is in the chain!!
The info on the side list numerous 14" and 15" tyre combinations but just the two for 17"!!

Maybe someone on here knows the answer?!!!!

DO NOT attempt to use snow chains that are not the EXACT type for your tyres. You will just be inviting tyre/alloy damage and they won't lock or work properly.

I use them all the time here as I live near a mountain region.

Ebay is probably you're best bet. Annoying that they're not more flexible, as I have a golf with 225/45/17 and a P1 with 205/45/17 !! Typical !!

Good luck with the sale though !
