All new cars use tie down points on their frame (or unibody)from the
manufacturer to the dealer
I recently saw a fellow hauling an old f**d PU on a trailer behind his chevy
PU and he used a pair of snow chains that he cut in half to make 4 pieces,
set one piece over each tire and used ratchet straps to tighten them to the
trailer .....given your location I don't know if you could find a good set
of double link snow chains though.
