Description

There are many cheap fakes on the market that haven’t been safety tested like AutoSock and do not perform to the same high standards as the genuine article. Snow tyres for my vehicle are expensive, and it is annoying that you pay all that money to only use them a few days a year (most years in the UK). There are many cheap, fake snow socks on the market that haven't been safety tested like AutoSock and do not perform to the same high standards as the genuine article. On the few patches where the road had been cleared and gritted, I was able to drive on without having to remove the socks and replace once we hit snow again.

I own a BMW, so I knew that when the snow hit, it would be sat on the drive, but with the autosock, it drove out of my icy estate, ( I had to hang on to the roof rails to stop myself falling over) as if it was nothing. Our car, with today's wide tyres, was useless when caught in snow a few years ago so bought a pair of these.They are a little tricky to get on, particularly if the gap between your wheel and the wheel arch is not very wide.

I used the socks to get from where I live, hilly and country lanes, to the main road and they were fantastic. The socks provide stability in difficult driving conditions, and are easy to take off when the weather improves. I HAD PREVIOUSLY HAD A ACCIDENT AFTER IT HAD SNOWED ON A STEEP HILL WHERE I LIVE SO I BOUGHT THE SOCKS FITTED THEM ONTO THE DRIVE WHEELS WHICH IN MY CASE WAS FRONT WHEEL DRIVE.

AutoSock have been tested and approved to the new European standard EN16662-1:2020 for "supplementary grip devices" - this includes not only metal snow chains but also devices made from other materials. We drove home on narrow, snow covered roads, up and down steep inclines, only passable by tractor, 4 x 4's and cars fitted with Autosocks.

In France, the new “Mountain Law” (“Loi Montagne”) requires that winter equipment must be carried on special road sections in mountainous areas between 1st November and 31st March. During the same year, the AutoSock for Truck product range gained approval as a traction device by the CDOT (Colorado Department of Transportation) / USA.e. pull off slowly, stay in as high a gear as possible, “anticipate” even more than normal, avoid hard braking. user name) και συνθηματικό πρόσβασης (password) με σκοπό κατά την επίσκεψή μας στον ίδιο ιστότοπο αργότερα, να μας "θυμάται" και να μην χρειάζεται να κάνουμε login. I loved them, I knew that no matter where I went, in whatever weather, my Ford Ka would get me home (and it did) in fact it got me where most 4x4 dared not pass!

They’re reusable, take up minimal storage space, and in many circumstances work better than winter tyres or snow chains. Used on my BMW320, on the short drive from the village and notably in April 13 when it was too snowy to get out. AutoSock are lobbying for Austria to follow European legislation and to adopt EN16662; until further notice ski-drive visitors to Austria should take snowchains - but AutoSock will of course also be useful on the non-driving wheels, and on slushy roads where snowchains are useless.This is no big deal and will not affect their performance until it becomes obvious that they are looking ragged and well worn – then they need replacing.
