AUTOSOCK 697 Size-697 Tire Chain Alternative

Product Information

However these autosocks made it possible with ease and i could get to the main highway then remove them easily and quickly.

You will find this important information in your car handbook - please check this before using your snowchains! On a rear wheel drive car, uphill slope, sheet ice: You need some weight in the boot – it makes all the difference.I stil keep them handy in the winter or going to muddy festivals in the summer, even though I have a set of winter tyres now. THEY ARE HARD WEARING AND THEY LASTED ME 2 YEARS WITH CAREFUL USE, JUST PUT THEM ON AND HAVE TROUBLE FREE RUNNING. I found autosocks a little fiddly to get on, but once they were on, it was like the snow wasn't there at all.

The standard covers all EU countries, except for Austria, and has also been adopted by Iceland, Norway, Serbia, Switzerland, and Turkey. Full instructions are shown on each bag which, being fully waterproof, is also designed for easy and clean carrying of dirty AutoSock once you've taken them off the wheels (pull them off with the orange straps). I drove on, and was immediately impressed at how much grip they gave - I felt much less like I was trying to gingerly steer a duck on an ice rink.There was some wear evident after the 12 mile journey, but they were used again a few times, and still have plenty of life in them. For example, some claim to have German TÜV testing agency approvals, but in fact their TÜV certificate attaches to something else entirely, not to their snow sock copy; only AutoSock has been tested by TÜV against the TÜV standard for snow socks in force at that time. Got us out of our village and onto the A Road with no problem whatsoever when other cars stuck or precariously sliding about. I bought a set for my Honda S2000 which as you would expect is not the best vehicle for traction in snowy conditions, being a rear wheel drive sports car.
