Tire chains on L322 with 20" wheels

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking to buy a set of tire chains. The issue is that Land Rover officially says that I should not use chains on my 20" wheels. They say I should buy some 19" wheels just for this purpose.

Sorry, I'm not going to buy and haul around with me a second pair of wheels/tires to swap out if I hit a area that requires chains even with 4WD.

On another forum (Land Rover Forums) one member suggested I could install some chains and keep the car in off road mode (under 30 MPH).

I did some poking around for some low profile chains and one set that looks like it may work for me is the Security Chain Company Super Z6 chains.

Has anyone tried to use chains on an L322 with 20" wheels? Any suggestions or ideas?

Thanks again!

I tried fitting chains to an L322. IIRC they were fine on the rear, but would not go on the fronts as there was not enough clearance around the back. The only issue with 20's was that the chains potentially touched the wheel rather than just the tyre, but I was OK with that risk.

For the L405, I have Thule K77's with do not go around the back, so can go on all 4 wheels - not that I have needed them since buying Confused

/\ They are the ones I have - premium price but will certainly fit. I have 2 sets, but not needed to use them in anger yet.

/\ Good to know for certain. Smile

Yes not low cost, but compared to avoiding serious damage it is also not expensive Smile
