As it says, really............
I'm taking a Mercedes Sprinter Minibus down to La Tania. Can I legally do it with 1 set of chains, or do I need 2 sets ( for all 4 wheels )??

One set for drive wheels is legal requirement.

Sprinters are rear wheel drive so just stick them on the back

If you take snow chains it wont snow. The snow chains theory is akin to the umbrella one. Take it, you wont need it... leave it at home and the heavens will open

are you sure???
Everywhere that I've read said you use one set on a 4x4 ON THE FRONT WHEELS as they're the ones that do the majority of the breaking and all of the steering.
I would never put chains on the rear wheels of my 4x4s as I value my and my clients lives too much!!

muzza77, Always front wheels, unless you have a weird diff set up then sometimes all 4 wheels. My forester has them on front, manual states better all 4.
