Guys , what can i say, the snow socks are great, unknown to me until last night a neighbour has some for his ford focus , we live on a housing estate with a hill to get out, always untreated for days and with the snow we had last night, i saw them in action,
OK i could get out but doesnt take much to spin with low profile tyres etc even starting in 2nd or even 3rd gear and several other cars didnt make it, but with the socks, no problems.
Basically the socks gave much more grip/traction and control and you have more confidence and always helps you avoid those plums who drive to fast etc and for those situations where you have to stop on a hill etc....it does happen.
For £40 for something that gives you much more control worth it in my book. probably wont snow for the rest of winter now....well they will always be there for the future years.
