Snow Socks

Snow socks are a great alternative to clunky snow chains that are made of textile. An alternative that is easier and quicker to use, and it will also spare you from swapping to winter tyres. Snow socks for tires are fabric socks made for you to easily slip them over the wheels on cars or lighter commercial vehicles.

It is important to mention that when we're talking about cars, tyre socks get placed over the front tires or rear tyres depending on whether your car is front or rear wheel drive. These light tyre socks will give your vehicle a better grip on roads covered with ice or snow. The best thing about these alternative tyre chains is that no mistake can be made during putting them on, since there is just one possible way for you to fit them. Snow socks can be reused multiple time and they only take up a minimal amount of space in the boot.

You are probably wondering how tyre socks work. Namely, snow and ice stick to the textile that is particularly developed to keep away water that appears between the ground and the tire. In that way snow socks for tires are helping to improve the grip and keep it dry. The special fabric also has an unusual characteristic that contributes to the maximization of the friction contact with the ground.

Tyre socks work very well in wet snow locations, so they are especially recommended for areas where snow is only a sporadic condition and where not a lot of population is using winter tyres. They are also good for vehicles whose clearance around the wheels is limited. The major advantage of having snow socks for tires over chains is the fact that fitting a sock is a whole lot easier than fitting snow chains, since nothing needs to be adjusted because they self-adjust automatically while you are driving. There are other advantages as well. Since there are no chains touching the road, socks run smoothly and they make no noise or vibrations whatsoever. Also you dont have to take them off the second you reach normal tarmac, unlike snow chains.

Some brands of snow socks have now been legally approved as alternatives to snow chains in areas where it is law to carry a set of chains. Keep us bookmarked as we will stock the best snow socks on the market.
