I bought a drivers handbook and it says tyre chains should be fitted to the rear two tyres.

Hi Iain
The handbook doesn't state 2WD or 4WD, so assume that Mazda mean the rear on both versions. That makes sense where maximum traction is the concern.

I'm only driving south to the snow if me chains arrive in time, Rhod.

Otherwise I'm coming up for that cuppa you promised (It will be sunny, won't it?) :lol:

It's ALWAYS sunny in Argyll - sometimes there's a bit of cloud & precipitation between the sun & the ground :lol:

As an ex Southerner with more interest in looking after my chums than saving a few pennies, I have ordered a pair.

See me in the next week to recieve your Christmas pressie Iain.
