Default Snow chains for V70

I believe the Volvo accessory list includes snow chain for V70. Anyone got any experience of these, or recommendations for something different?

This will depend on what your planned usage is.

If it is for an Alpine skiing trip then winter tyres and chains would be a requirement, not a recommendation. If only to combat the recent snow in the UK, a pair of snow socks might be sufficient unless you live at the top of Snowdon for example.

I believe the Volvo chains are made by Rud. I have some of these for sale (Brand new) but it depends what tyre size you have as to whether they will fit!

I've used an identical pair abroad and they were excellent.
