I am planning a trip to the French Alps in late February in the stationwagon and was wondering if anyone has experience of fitting any of the above to a Thema. I spent Christmas in Norway a few years ago and drove a hired Opel while there fitted with 'winter tyres' and it performed very responsively on the packed snow roads. Not sure at present what the law is in France for winter conditions so will have to check that out. Any input would be most welcome.

Up into the Alps it's got to be chains, as you've no doubt seen in another thread I've bought a set of Jeko Snow Straps, that go around the width of the wheel and tyre with 6 to a driving wheel, while I was very impressed by the video advert for these on Youtube, they are not accepted as an alternative to snow chains, problem is you can't fit chains to a lot of Alloy wheels, so it would be worth checking the situation regarding your Thema wheels first.
