Tire Chains 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be Greg N on  Thu Jan 31 04:48 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I have Weissenfels Artic Track 3030 chains for my 850. Same size tires as yours. They are made for the small S-type fender clearance and they really can be installed in about 1 minute each once you get the hang of them. Cost is $90US but Weissenfels also makes a 1000 series chain that has most of the same features and sells for $50.

Check out whether Gear on the Go (www.gearonthego.com) has a store near you or will ship. They are also offering a 25% discount coupon. Other possibility is to try www.weissenfels.com and see if they have a distributor listing.

Your Volvo dealer has chains that are designed for the cars but they want $300. I am quite pleased with my Weissenfels. Only concern is with the plastic ratchet mechanism and only time will tell about that.
