Snow Chains for a Toyota Coaster..?
Permalink  

Was wondering if anyone has a supplier of Chains for a Toyota Coaster..?

 

I'm Looking to take the bus up to the snow for Opening Weekend and was wondering if anyone knows of where I can get chains to suit the coaster..?

 

 

And yes I have been up the hill for many an opening weekend..

I'm just gonna have a Better vehicle to sleep in..

I Spent about 80days one season camped in the back of the Old Panel van for stretches of 7-10days straight on the mountain and sleeping in the back.. It was cold at night but then I like to go to sleep in a cool room at night..  The coaster will just give me a better set of accommodation for the weekend..

LoL..

Just take a note of your tyre size and go to a 4wd shop.
Might also need to take note of the gap between your rear wheels to make sure the chains will fit through there.

If where you intend to go gets bad ice, you might need a set for the front wheels as well.
Steering and braking traction are just as important as drive traction.

Snow T

Piranha at Boronia Vic. make snow chains for any vehicle tyre size up to road graders.

I prefer the diamond pattern over the ladder type............much smoother ride and easier to put on wheel.

Got over 3 years out of a set doing either Hotham or Buller weekly in a 48 seater coach.

Regards,

Ruff
