Omeo Ski Hire (Billie’s) has the
Konig self tensioning chains that are just so easy to
fit all makes and models of car and four wheel drive are
the Traction Chain. All vehicles traveling towards Mt
Hotham are required by law to carry snow chains and to
fit them where directed during the snow season. All
chains are all Diamond Pattern. Our staff is required to
demonstrate the fitting of chains to your specific
vehicle to ensure you can fit them yourself should this
be required as well as make sure they do fit correctly.
Chains will not be hired out without such a
demonstration. For through-travelers, chains hired at
Omeo Ski Hire may be returned in Harrietville at Hoys or
Myrtleford at Ray's Ski Hire, and similarly chains may
be picked up in Harrietville or Myrtleford and returned
to Omeo Ski Hire in Omeo. Chains are specific to each
tyre size, and you will need to be able to tell us the
correct tyre size when hiring chains. Tyre sizes are
usually found in a format such as 205/50R16 on the
sidewall of each tyre. Problem tyres are the low profile
they have no room between the tyre and the rim of the
car and makes it impossible to work with, you need to be
able to fit your hand between the rim and the tyre. Book
