Michelin Easy Grip Snow Chains

Post by abindai » Sun Aug 22, 2010 1:37 pm

Hi there,

We've just purchased a set of Michelin Easy Grip Snow Chains for our Bongo. We purchased for the rear wheels as it's rear wheel drive, only to get them and read in the instructions that for Camper Vans they must be fitted on all 4 wheels. First of all does anyone know if this is correct (or if it's applicable for Mazda Bongos) or just being over cautious in an attempt to make us purchase an extra set?

Secondly if we do need a set for the front wheels does anyone know if standard snow chains will fit as we'd heard they don't normally fit on Mazda Bongos, and having spoken to a retailer there seems to be some confusion here? Our front tyre size is 195/80/R15.

Thank you very much for your help,

Dave & Abi
