All products must be test fitted before full use. Whilst we supply chains or socks to fit your tyre size, we are unable to guarantee arch clearance on your specific car. Therefore we recommend that you try the chain on and check the fitting and clearance is ok before use in snow conditions. Automotive Wheels Ltd do not accept any liability in damages to your vehicle or to the purchased item caused by ill-fitting parts which are used without testing.

It is the responsibility of the fitter to ensure that the chains/socks are fitted correctly before driving on them. Any damage or costs incurred through damage caused by poor fitting or negligent use will not be the responsibility of Automotive Wheels Ltd or any of its trading names. All chains and socks should be fitted reasonably tightly around the tyre and loose parts should be tightened and checked to ensure that they will not cause damage to any vehicle parts.
