@c6gav The rope used was 10mm metric, equivalent to 3/8inch imperial. If neither is available use 1/2inch rather than 1/4inch.

how thick is that rope..??1/2 or 1/4 inch..??

Great video/tutorial. I never knew this was an option until now.

A word of caution. Ensure that there is sufficient clearance for the rope to pass the brake caliper when the wheel rotates. On many cars there is not.

Greetings from Detroit, MI USA! I'll be keeping a length of rope and a knife in the back of my car from now on.

On compacted snow the ropes show hardly any signs of wear, but (as with chains) as soon as you drive on tarmac or chippings they deteriorate rapidly, so the length of time they last depends more on where you drive rather than how far you drive. It's best to change the ropes when they show signs of fraying rather than have them break and become entangled.....and yes, I have often seen those puzzled faces!!
