is that a set do you no?
They come in pairs
I am a bit daft with snow chains, I carry them with me all year round, even though I have a 4x4.... 4x4s are no better than two wheel drives on ice,... the ones advertised here are good value,.. everyone should have a pair,.... and more importantly KNOW HOW TO FIT THEM,... I have seen so many people fit them wrong and risk a lot of damage

Remember Highlander snow chains are also good for deep mud.
i believe you need lots of snow and regular depths of it, if you fit snow chains and drive over a clear bit of road you damage the road and could be fined! not suitable for the south west as we dont have enough regular falls of snow to warrant the use. our normal weather is RAIN and lots of it.
I had a look at the Lidl chains several weeks ago but the sizes they stock wouldn't fit either my Landrover or my Peugeot 306, so I got a pair from Amazon for £34.

To fit the Peugeot, that is. 175/70 13
