Thule snow chains

Thule, the world’s leading manufacturer in sports utility transportation has announced the addition of snow chains to its UK vehicle accessories range.

Produced in Thule’s Italian manufacturing facility, the extensive range of snow chains will be available from selected recognised dealers from October. The UK launch coincides with a rise in demand across Europe and the UK for high quality snow chains.

Peter Barker, UK General Manager, commented: “For Thule, the manufacture and distribution of snow chains is a welcome addition to our sports and leisure equipment transportation range.

Snow chains are a vital part of ski-drive holidays and are required by law in many destinations. We have seen a demand for a high quality chain by our customers, and are confident the Thule snow chains will not disappoint with their quick and easy application and durable, superior materials.”

The K-Summit snow chain is a key model in the range. With a patented rachet system the chain quickly fits to over 250 wheel sizes, with just eight chain lengths, mounting to the wheel in three steps.

Once fitted, the ratchet system centres itself as you drive. The K-Summit has zero clearance, which means no part of it touches the inner side of the tyre, so it can be used on cars with limited space around the wheel arch.

Details of all the snow chains available in the range and a dealer locator showing Thule’s stockists can be found on thule.com. A catalogue will also be available to download via the website.
