Hi everyone,
We're planning on driving to the snow in Victoria, Australia. I've read reviews that recommend the Accord Euro Luxury (as well as some other cars) as suitable for driving in snow conditions.
However the manual says not to use chains on this size wheel/tyre combo. I used to live in Colorado and never used chains, however in Victoria under certain conditions it is compulsory to fit chains. (Otherwise an expensive fine:eek: )
Has anyone used chains on this tyre/wheel combo?
There appears to be plenty of clearance in the wheel well, and as long as there is no damage to the car, I am not worried about what Honda say in their manual. (Often overly cautious. Thanks to you litigious Yanks :wall: )
Any info would be great.
Thanks
