5. Chains
If you are planning a ski trip, some countries make carrying and using snow chains compulsory.
However, even if they’re not required by law, it’s a good idea to keep a set in the boot.
Prices start at around £40, but you can save money by hiring.
An alternative to steel chains are textile bags to slip over the tyre, such as the AutoSock (£50). They’re more user-friendly than chains and easier to store.
