    Tip: After putting the chains on, drive for some 20 meters and then stop to check the chains again if they might need to be tightened some more.

    Bought my first chains some years ago in Aldi for £20 . While waiting to pay an old man behind me said . “ take my advice and put them on and take them off a few times in good weather, don’t let first time be at side of road in a blizzard,after 1 mile get out and check/ tighten them , and don’t drive like you have chains on drive like you don’t” . The put them on and off I good weather was best advice

    I use a set of tire chains (steel links not cables) on my Honda Accord and I have found their effectiveness to be very impressive on icy or deep snow (14 inches of snow). I have gone through ditches and even through piled up snow by the plow to get around stuck 4x4 trucks. Last winter I employed a hydraulic floor jack to put the chains on, first one front wheel and then the other. The jack cut my tire chain installation time down from 45 minutes for both to just 15 minutes for both. I'll do the same thing this year.

It snowed for 8 more hours till 8 inches which is rare for U.K. was only cab working in Leeds . They lasted about 100 miles untill disintegrated beyond use . Best £20 I ever spent earned £300

A Subaru will generally outlast an Audi by a large margin (and most other German cars), even if both cars are well maintained throughout their life time. But a subaru is much cheaper for maintenance in general, plus other Japanese car brands(like Toyota, Lexus.) can run for a long time even when they have been poorly maintained (Subaru needs to be maintained though). An Audi (and other german brands like BMW, Mercedes, etc.) will not only be more expensive to maintain, and so much more expensive to fix if something breaks, they will ALSO not run for very long if they are poorly maintained.

    Studded tyres only make sense if you're driving on really icy and snow-covered roads. It isn't advisable to drive them on tarmac once the snow melts. So, depends on where you live and how much snow you're dealing with. If it's small stretches of snow every now and again, snow chains make more sense.
