Snow Socks

Car Snow Socks

Winter conditions continue to worsen in the UK and while there's a greater amount of snow and ice and for a longer period than in previous years, the transport infrastructure has yet to be put in place that supports the driver in their aim to be able to drive safely in treacherous conditions. Winter tyres, which are a legal requirement in some European countries, are prohibitively expensive while snow chains are notoriously difficult to put on. One alternative to these solutions is the snow sock.

Snow socks slip easily over the driving tyres of a car and are basically a fabric based alternative to snow chains. They greatly enhance the grip that a car has on icy and slippery road surfaces making driving in winter conditions easier and safer.

Easy To Fit

Snow socks are also easy to fit. There is only one possible way to fit them and this means that you can't make a mistake when trying to put them on your tyres. You don't need to practice and you will be able to add them quickly and easily to any car or light commercial vehicle.

Ideal For Any Car

Designed for any car or light commercial vehicle, snow socks are fitted to the driving tyres of your car. In a front wheel drive car they go on the front tyres and for rear wheel drive they go on the back. Snow socks can even give extra grip to 4 x 4 cars. Simply fit them over the front tyres.

Snow Chains v Snow Socks

Snow chains are still a useful and viable tool for driving in regular or constant wintry conditions. In some countries, snow chains are still a legal requirement so if you're driving abroad then you should determine whether this is the case or not before travelling.

UK Winter Driving

The UK is enduring more difficult driving conditions but we tend to only require additional driving assistance for a few weeks of the year and this assistance may be intermittent rather than constant. The simplicity and ease of installing snow socks makes them a more beneficial and convenient alternative to snow chains on these occasions.

Why Use Snow Socks?

You'll barely notice that you're driving with snow socks on your car, except that you'll skid less and have greater confidence driving in bad conditions. The socks slip over the tyres and self align while you drive. They also lie flat against the tyre so that you do not feel the difference against the road surface. They are also easy to store so you can keep a set in the boot when you drive in winter ready to slip them on if conditions worsen.
