Sand chains...

Anyone lese having any input??

Rolf,

An uncle of mine lived in Uganda for a while. He bought a VW van which came with mud chains to help the VW through patches of mud after heavy rains. When he got back to Europe he took the VW with him and used the mud chains with good effect in the snow when skiing in France.
So the chains you saw might actually be mud chains instead of snow chains?

Hanno
