These are top quality "no frills" traditional snow chains, excellent value for money, quick and easy to fit. They include all the features we expect to see in a premium snow chain, and the packaging is excellent by any standards.

They're entirely suitable for occasional use in the UK or on e.g. a ski-drive holiday.

Select Vehicle

After selecting your vehicle we will show you the correct size of Polaire XP16 for your vehicle and tyre combination. Please note that the price may vary between sizes.

This is a great value pair of snow chains, quick and easy to fit and remove, suitable for on road use on 4x4s, pickups, vans, and single-wheeled minibuses.

Polaire's XP16 range has been designed to compete with budget chains on price, and also to offer some features that are usually only found in the premium brands (e.g. König, RUD). The main difference is that their chain steel quality isn't as good as König's - these Polaire chains are of course entirely suitable for on road use anywhere, e.g. occasional use in the UK or on ski-drive holidays - but the Polaire and König fitting systems are very similar, and Polaire's carrying case is the best we've seen anywhere.

Additional notes:

  • These Polaire chains are made from case-hardened manganese nickel (MnNi) alloy steel to provide an optimum combination of strength and hardness.
  • Suitable for vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes.
  • Chains will wear out if driven on tarmac or concrete. These XP16 chains can be reversed and fitted 'inside out' on the tyre so that both sides get equal wear, helping them to last much longer.
  • Each XP16 chain link is 16mm high, D-shaped to make it bite well into snow and ice.
  • Supplied in a strong zipped fabric carrying case, together with a pair of plastic gloves, and a couple of emergency spare links (pliers are required).
  • All Polaire chains meet the requirements of Austria's Ö-Norm 5117 and Germany's TÜV.

Important safety information: The purchase and use of snow chains is a technical business, and a complex one to manage in the online environment. These traditional chains will fit around the tyres you have chosen but it's possible that they're not suitable for use with the combination of your tyre size and your particular make and model of car.

If you have only chosen your tyre size to reach this page, without reference to your type of car, please visit our "What fits my vehicle?" database via the link "Select Your Vehicle" to check whether they are approved or not. Our suppliers have provided this database information, but it must be treated only as a guide to what is likely to be permitted - it's not intended to be a substitute for you checking your own vehicle handbook.

  • If you find your car and tyre size, and only a small number of chains are listed, maybe only one option, these are your only safe options.
  • In any event, please check your vehicle handbook to see what it says about the use of snow chains. If it says, for example, "The use of snow chains is not permitted" or "No snow chains with a link size wider than 10mm may be used", this is important information! But also note that what we call "Ladder track chains" or "Front-fitting chains" may always be used, unless your driving wheels are just about touching the wheelarches and there is obviously no space to fit anything to them.
