Id advise against it.. (happened on my XR6T rims when i took it up to the snow) - Lucky they were only used for drag events. |

Yeah I'll be putting some gaffa tape on the rims to prevent scratches. I found a set of snow chains that should fit the 195/45R16, I'll try it out. I think the problem is that there's little clearance between the inside of the tyre and the suspension components, the ones I found require a 10mm clearance. Had a stickbeak under the car and it looks like it should be okay. I'll see how it goes anyhow.
fiesta8u: thanks for the offer mate, but probably not the best without any rubber on it in the snow haha
