We haven't bought our ride-on as yet but I just realised that in the winter we are going to have to ride it on a (private) road which is always icy and on an incline. Are there special tyres you guys use for grip on the ice?

Thanks for the detailed reply. I'm not very savvy with machinery but I can take your suggestions to the dealer when we buy. As there are no special tyres available is this a sales market ready to be milked? Or is there some other reason no-one provides this option?

Twist link are OK View attachment 496
V-Bar are better View attachment 495
4 link spacing OK View attachment 497
2 link spacing better View attachment 498
If you have ice I'd recommend V-Bar 2 link spacing ! :thumbsup:
Just wanted to pass this tip along for those who use chains...when I mounted them on my 318 I would first jack up the rear axle, then deflate the tires. I was able to get a snugger fit of the chains and more importantly, I also used what is called a "quick link" to secure the outer side of the chains rather than using the standard connection. Much more secure and no way will that connection loosen. Don't forget to reinflate the tires.
