Snow chains
Going skiing in a Range Rover Sport and need to take chains or socks - which are better and how many wheels is it best to put them on?

All four. Socks only any good on soft snow. Get ripped to bits on hard stuff.

Honest John's Guide To Winter TyresSimilar questions
Here in the UK I drive a 4X4 fitted with M+S rated tyres.
How do these compare with "winter" tyres as, for example, required by law to be fitted on all cars in Germany for the winter months beginning...
I had Pirelli "Sottozero" winter tyres (Sotto means 'under' in Italian) fitted to my Vauxhall Vectra and found them so much better on lightly snowed roads.
However I became afflicted with overconfidence...
I have a Mercedes A-Class (2002) and wanted to know whether it was best to get winter tyres and steel wheels or to go for winter tyre socks. Any advice would be great.
