No socks, no snow chains: Yet, traction is maintained without stepping out of your car!
the classic snow chain solution
For decades, snow chains have been the go-to solution for countless drivers facing snow-covered roads. Known for their reliability, they offer outstanding grip even in the harshest of conditions. However, the task of fitting these chains can be daunting, often involving stepping out into frigid environments to adjust and secure them properly. Despite the promise of ease by seasoned users, many still find themselves questioning if they’re securely fastened.
the textile alternative
Enter the snow socks. As these textile-based solutions gained popularity, many drivers found solace in their simplicity and speed of installation. Not only are they lightweight and easy to store, but they also allow for speeds up to 30 mph under certain conditions. Yet, their effectiveness diminishes on icy roads, often leading drivers to carry both socks and chains as a precaution.
