I drove a few yards and got out and checked - they had self centred wonderfully - no need to faff around getting them perfect - as you drive forward they align themselves nicely. I work in the emergency services and therefore felt compelled to get in to work in bad weather so I could help those in need.

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.I had previously struggled to get out of my road (there are hills within 300 meters both sides of my house) in the snow which led to me not being able to get to work for a couple of days. I didn't want to wait until I was stuck, and I could already feel that the car had very little traction -it was only still moving at the point because it was level. These arrived within 24 hours and after being fitted allowed me to drive - slowly and with care - on the compacted snow covered rural roads. 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.

Most people are not only surprised but astonished at the difference they make to general traction, cornering, and braking. The following note (1) makes a business case for adding AutoSock to this list of options and (2) aims to explain that, when comparing AutoSock to other snow socks, you are comparing chalk and cheese. She manage to use the all wheel drive ability enough to get off and onto a minor road which was inches deep in fresh snow, by this time is 3am in the the morning ! You can check the size guide page to confirm which tyres are approved for the AutoSock size that you have. I had a practice fitting in the daylight, in good weather, and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was.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). Commence fitting from the top of the tire downwards, move the vehicle half a wheel turn and pull the remainder into position. AutoSock is the first snowsock product worldwide to have been tested and approved to the European standard EN16662-1:2020 for "supplementary grip devices" - this includes not only metal snow chains but also devices made from other materials. They are also ideal for use on rear wheel drives where there is minimal space between the top of the wheel and the wheel arch. and held firmly in place by suction cups, this nifty product will prevent you from scraping your windscreen for five minutes every time there is a frost!

I was able to drive normally, though slower around corners, and maintain a constant steady speed up and down hill. I've only needed to use them once but that allowed me to get home which would have been impossible without them. Very importantly, AutoSock's specially developed 'GripTech' textile also absorbs and "wicks away" any water that's found between the ground and the tyre, (generated e. 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.

All our vans have a Tikkina 2 in the glove compartment and they come in handy all year round - especially in winter. The alternatives were to wait a few hours in the freezing cold whilst it was removed, go back to town a find a hotel - and ignore the kids at home - or drive around the blocked road on narrow hilly country roads, guaranteed not to be ploughed, let alone gritted. AutoSock are suitable for vehicles with limited clearance and also improve electronic safety systems like ABS.

Some people use AutoSock because they are anxious about driving in snow, and want to be sure that their vehicle will stay on the road. They've also been approved by many car manufacturers, including BMW, Fiat, Hyundai, Jaguar, Kia, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, PSA Peugeot Citroën, Seat, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo. You don’t need them, but it obviously makes sense to fit AutoSock to the steering wheels as well as to the driving wheels, because the car will then travel in the direction you intend!

AutoSock does not require maintenance but we recommend shaking out dirt after use and letting it dry properly before repacking. cookies είναι μικρά αρχεία κειμένου τα οποία αποθηκεύονται στον φυλλομετρητή μας κατά την πλοήγησή μας στο διαδίκτυο. Both we and AutoSock in Norway have tested many of these products and, even just looking at them side by side with AutoSock, we know that we wouldn't want to trust them on our family cars or Company vehicles. Every component in an AutoSock has a purpose in design and quality – the road contact fabric, the number of straps, the front mesh.
