Snow chains to borrow?

[irondoc]

I'm heading up to the Victorian ski fields in the middle of July. Has anyone got any chains I could borrow?

I have the standard 255/60/18s on at the moment, but do have some 235/70/17s I can swap to...

I am in Sydney

Thanks
Lucas

From memory they are relatively cheap to hire, and towns near the snowfields have hire places that are open late.

Most people just pick up a set of their way up, and drop them off on the way back. Which ski field are you heading to?

As a side note - If you havent fitted chains before, best to have a practice in the car park - doing in for the first time in snow, in the dark, most likely cold with cars going by isnt fun. Its worth chucking in something to kneel on, some gloves, a rag and a head torch.

Dave,

Great advice. I still have flashbacks to nights fitting them to my LC Torana on the Alpine way in my early 20's (circa 1990) when working up there for a few season. Also, had some interesting moments cause I didn't want to fit them so kept driving......

Cheers David.
