Default Centrax Volvo-N891 snow chains

Righto - my Dad wants me to sell the snow chains he got for his '08 V70 (then ended up part ex-ing it for an AWD XC70)

The chains have literally never been used but aren't compatible with the XC70.

I've attached pictures of the chains and the model number badge on the bag.

Edit: also, if anyone with a bit more knowledge could shed a bit more light on what models these are compatible with, it'd be a great help.

Wink chains

The chains are suitable for the tyre sizes shown on the label, you need to put them on all 4 wheels in the case of the xc70 or other modern electronic controled 4wd car.
Otherwise only the snowchained axle will get the power directed to it and this may be difficult to drive and cause a overstress in the cars systymn.
