WHAT ARE THEY?
AutoSock are textile 'socks' which you slip over the driving wheels on cars or light commercials. There's only one possible way to fit them, so no practise is needed. AutoSock are reusable time and again and take up minimal space in the car.
WHEN SHOULD YOU USE THEM?
They work well in wet snow conditions and are therfore particularly appropriate for the UK where snowfall is sporadic and few people use winter tyres. Even 4 x4s ususally have wide tyres which are wholly unsuited to winter driving. AutoSock have been shown by the TUV to be more effective on snow than winter tyres, with the further benefit that you only fit them when you need them.
HOW WELL DO THEY WORK?
AutoSock were launched in Norway in 2002 after a long period of testing, evaluation and improvement. Sales have grown exponentially, with millions of pairs sold so far, worldwide, mostly on recommendation. When you've had the opportunity to test them for real you'll soon realise why. Most people are not only surprised but astonished at the difference they make to general traction, cornering and braking.
HOW DO THEY WORK?
Snow and ice sticks to fabric, which is why many people still put woolly socks over their shoes when walking on ice or snow. AutoSock's specially developed textile "wicks away" any water that's found between the ground and the tyre, (generated e.g. by the warmth of the sun, or wheel spin), improving the dry friction grip. The textile also has and unusual weave that maximises the friction contact with the ground.
