They do make them for 35's. Are you looking to hire or buy? If you plan on hiring a set it may pay to ring around first and make sure places have them and ask if they've fitted them to 35's. Most places should have some to suit tho if they also cater to buses.
I just bought a set today for my 35 Claws after a 4 month hunt for reasonably priced ones ($80
). My experience tells me that there are many chains listed as fitting 35's that don't actually fit (plus actual tyre size can vary).
And yes, 4 wheel drives must carry them.

Perisher and Thredbo 4 wheel drives do NOT need to carry chains.

Mt Buller's chain requirements can change daily and are communicated through radio and daily reports and local retailers.

The urban (rural?) myth up here is people have been made to fit their chains to prove they're correct. But chance it at your own peril. I have been coming up here for 4 years and this is the first year I have carried chains.Eddy wrote:cool! so get some chains for a shopping trolley and ... ... carry themTrusa wrote:

Yeah second hand and one damaged (but fixed this arvo).dogbreath_48 wrote: Good price! Second hand?
thanks for the info guys, thats what i have been thinking.
i could probaby get some through work but i dont know if its worth it for me as i go down to the snow (resorts) maybe once or twice a year.
the other trips are to my property outside of cooma and i dont really need chains there... if anything id need a winch

Until you get into a situation where you need them. Then you slide off the road, into a ditch.Eddy wrote:cool! so get some chains for a shopping trolley and ... ... carry themTrusa wrote:

Then the helpful guys who pull you out also pull the piss out of your dumb arse.
