    5.0 out of 5 stars These Snow Socks DO THE JOB.... (caveat please read)
    Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2022
    Recently purchased these for a trip to Mammoth Lakes Calif. over the Christmas holidays. It snowed hard for four days straight. It was the heaviest snow fall in ten years. We took my wife's 2014 Mini Cooper Countryman AWD. After hours of digging ourselves out of the snow I was able to install the snow socks on the front two drive wheels. We then drove to the main highway, which was temporarily opened, and drove "30 miles" in snow and ice with white out conditions along the way at times. The snow socks performed extremely well. The ride was smooth and steady with very little, if any, sliding. Absolutely no vibration. As the altitude dropped the road became slushy and was a mix of snow and asphalt. I thought this would damage the socks, but that did not happen. We still maintained great traction. Speeds varied from 20 to 35+ MPH for the entire trip.
    The snow socks were a breeze to install. "The trick came in trying to remove them." The cold snow and ice shrunk them around the wheel. Attempting to grab the inside seam of the snow sock, and pull it back over the tire, proved to be more difficult that I anticipated. The clearance between the fender-well and the tire, on our car, was very tight and my hand just barley fit in between to grab the seam. The socks were now on very tightly. Understand, GOOD gloves are paramount!! The gloves provided are junk! The thickness of the gloves does add to the difficulty of removing the socks. Have a very good pair of gloves in the package with the snow socks. Some 'good' thick rubber gloves would work well. With this experience I would now approach the sock removal procedure much differently by picking a spot where there is adequate clearance and remove them a little at at time. This product is excellent for what we used it for and I would not hesitate to use it again. Attached is a photo of the socks after removal and 30 miles of use. They took a beating but still held together. They proved very durable and I believe they can be used again.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST traction device ever invented!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2023
    I use these on all my vehicles but initially bought them for my BMW. Chains tear up delicate sensors and can do damage to the suspension parts, so are not recommended by BMW. And, if you've ever been stranded somewhere trying to put chains on in the cold- it's a nightmare! Enter the Auto Sock. When I purchased my first pair, I don't think many knew about them in my area. They were so easy, but how could they work so well? I was able to drive up hills with ice, in my little car, while 4X4's were spinning out all around me WITH snow tires on! The look on the other drivers faces was priceless!

    As a nurse, when I get called in to work, I can't say no due to snow and ice- I have to be able to get off my hill. These make that possible, and do it with ease. I even use them on my Subaru for even better traction on icy surfaces. They give me such piece of mind that I recommend them to everyone I know. With a recent large snow storm, my city was paralyzed. I actually gave my old pair (8 years old, used many times with only a dime sized hole in them) to a young woman who couldn't get up my hill and had been trying to for over an hour. I think they were a little big for her tires, but her smile as she drove off easily was worth the effort.

    If where you live ever gets snow or ice, get these- no matter what type of vehicle you use. They truly are the easiest things to put on and pull off. They are very durable, and the same price as chains. And, I've never seen a snow sock laying in the middle of the road like I do chains. Another plus is unlike snow tires that take up a large amount of room in the garage, they also don't tear up the roads when the pavement is dry. I wish they made these mandatory for people who don't have experience driving in snow- there would be a lot less accidents and stranded motorists out there. If you are looking for a great birthday or Christmas present for your kids going off to college, or anyone you care about- these are not sexy and probably not on anyones's list, but they are a great gift that will keep someone safe.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Will definitely buy again!
    Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2024
    I decided to buy this after looking at all the options available for snow chains and cables. When I discovered CalTrans allowed the use of Auto Sock, I decided to give it a shot. We drove up to Big Bear Lake during a winter storm. When it came time to install the socks on the front tires of our Mazda CX-5, it took no longer than 5-10 min before we were back on the road. While cars with chains slipped and slided we kept going. We slid a little on the beginning when we were on black ice but then it gripped with the snow. We drove for 80 min not exceeding 25 mph with wind gusts up to 30-40 mph. It was a slow harrowing ride up as we did not know how long the socks would hold. Well, we made it to our cabin without any issues. The pictures show how the socks looked afterwards. Because the snow was melted by the time we were leaving Big Bear, we weren't able to test them out going down the mountain. All I know is those socks worked wonderfully when we needed them to. Next time, I will buy two sets of socks just in case. They were so easy to put on, anyone can do it and do it quickly. I highly recommend these for short term use. Because they are made of fabric, I don't think they are designed for repeated use. Since I only go up the mountain occasionally, these socks were perfect for our needs.
