Default RE: MB + snow = pure fun

The chains works fine, gets alot of more grip. 10-15 cm of snow was no problem but not much more than that, otherwise it hangs on the chassi and just spins.
I still have problem with snow get stuffed into the air filter and choking the engine, need to make something up. No one else driving in the snow?
The snow is melting now so no more snowdriving for a while.


amitysanimal:
Yes O-ring chains are better but I gave up that idea when I started to make the chains, it was enough work to do them. The slip is minimal because there are at least one cross link between the snow and the tire at all time. You don't need to drive very fast to have the chains lifting from the tire and then the cross links touches the snow about 1-2 cm before the tire.

CowboyBob:
Works great on ice not have no/little effect on snow and the chains did work

I couldn't take any pictures while I drove it so you have to settle with a poser.
