hello and thank you in advance for your help!

i want to buy snow chains for my A3 2006 with 225/45/R17. i really would like something that mounts easily, but i find only limited information. i would like to avoid the snow cables hassles, and look for some RUD chains but it seems they don't work on A3. Any suggestions? Also, is the autosock legal in the US? Do Spikes Spider need a special adaptor kit?

thanks!

Great questions. Seems like you have all of the information that we have discussed previously. The question is if the AutoSock will be accepted as a traction device, not if it is legal or illegal. Not sure about the Spikes Spider? I'd hate to spend the money on the AutoSock, get to the top of the pass, only to have the CHP turn me away and send me back down the hill.

Let us know what you decide.

hey chef -- thanks for your reply. i share your concern about getting stopped at the top of the pass and being asked what *IS THAT*? that's why i am considering the spikes spider. however, i am not sure if there is a specific mounting kit i need for those. they seem to go on the wheel nuts but i have no idea what size those are? 21mm? anybody?

This is an old post, I had a similar question.

I was looking at a product goclaw at flextrax.com has anybody tried this? I have a FWD 2002 A4 with a sport package and was wondering if these work well on our cars..

Thanks

has anyone used chains? if so, which ones and were they used on the stock 225/17/45 tires?

FWIW, I had the dealer explicitly explain that I was to NEVER put snow chains on my car. Not sure if you changed the wheel set-up if you'd have the same limitation???

There is another post on the Autosock that the CHP will not allow it as a substitute for chains.



Cheers!
