Only need to rotate the 4 new types; or till 'new types' worn out as the old spare one, then rotate all 5 types again.

I always rotate all 5 types and The dealer will 'forget' or 'mix up' which to which all time during the service. So forget the diagram and keep the eye on the types: the worses worn one put back as the spare in each service. And keep the best one as 'spare' when you need new set of types - get only 4 new types when time is up.

Thanks kwach10 www.autotecnica.com.au/snow_chains.html does have 19" snow chains (Grp460) and the company is in Victoria. Nice.

Two years ago, I went to Mt Hotham with my Prado. As I was approaching the toll gate in the 2nd gear, it took ~ 2 meters (~ 15km/h) to stop the Prado. I almost hit another Prado in the front It was the scariest thing in my life Now a day, I use 1st gear if too icing on the road & I keep testing the stopping distance Never use the low gear in my LandCruiser or Prado. Sorry to all 4x4 hardcore :rolleyes:

Thanks! Up to the snow with style this time

Hi All, Every years our family go to the snow (Mt Hotham) in our Prado or LandCruiser. We always carry the chains, but we never need to use them. So we have already forgot how to put on the chains :blink: We are getting an AWD Kluger (trade in our faithful LandCruiser) next month. If anyone drive both Kluger and Prado in the snow before, would you please tell us that is the AWD Kluger OK or NOT driving in the snow without the chains in Mt Hotham? Also, where we can buy the snow chains for the 19" Kluger wheels in Melbourne? Meta
