Snowsocks

AutoSock is the high tech solution to an age old problem - how to give road tyres the grip they need on ice and snow to get you home!

AutoSock - textile wheel covers with an elasticated edge; you just slip them over the driving wheels when you find yourself getting stuck. ("Yes - it really is this easy" and "Yes, of course they work!")

Be prepared for the winter by carrying a set of AutoSock in your car, happy in the knowledge that fitting them is easy. If you can pull a sock over your foot you can push a fabric cover over a wheel.

> fitting them requires no practice.
> they weigh less than 1kg and take up minimal space. It's sensible to keep them with the spare wheel, always ready for use
> they are relatively universal, i.e. one size fits over 60% of cars
> they're reusable again and again - providing value for money for years to come they work!

Prices start at only £49.95!

Probably the most difficult part of the operation is remembering that they're there!

AutoSock provides an ideal "Get me Home" or "Get me to that meeting" solution - but only if you keep a set in the car! Although developed in Norway, they're particularly appropriate for the UK, where we experience sudden and sporadic snow fall, usually short lasting, but so often the cause of massive disruption and inconvenience while it lasts.

Although it is important to emphasise that AutoSock are not a substitute for winter tyres, the use of winter tyres is sometimes difficult to justify if UK snowfall is only occasional and short lived.  The good news for AutoSock is that tests show AutoSock to be more effective than winter tyres when used on snow, including hill starts, braking and cornering.  These tests used AutoSock on winter tyres, but it is our experience that they also make an extraordinary difference when used on summer tyres.
