AutoSock AS_HP_540E Winter Traction Aid Size HP 540 E

I keep Autosocks in all my cars having first used a pair in the German Alps years ago which got me out of a spot of bother. Easy to put on and take off they provide an astonishing level of grip and whilst they are not for prolonged use they will get you going and keep you moving. Bung them in the washing machine after use and they will come up as good as new and be ready till the next time. Excellent for emergencies, makes putting on snow chains almost redundant and importantly will not damage your expensive wheels or body work. I have seen and used several of the look-a-like ones on fleet cars but Autosocks are the ones I have bought for my own use. Highly recommended as long as you appreciate that they have a finite life and distance/speed limitations. But if you have ever fitted snow chains in the dry on a practise run and cursed, imagine how difficult they are to fit when it is a blizzard and your stuck in a dangerous position and they scratch your alloys. As they say in Yorkshire, These'll Do....and they do.

it was not my size but will change it

This is my 4th set, I have to get a new set when change my vehicle, but I still have the old ones. I had to use them once when the road to my house was under 3" of compacted snow, and it's steep too. My van became stuck when I had to give way to a car coming down (that would not have been able to stop). As a result I could not set off and I was stuck. I put these on and easily drove the rest of the way home, then reversed up onto my drive aslo steep. I was truly amazed at how well they work. Their value is only apparent when you need them!

Bought for a ski trip, used to drive back down the mountain in ~10cm fresh snow for 5-6km. Easy to fit, smoother ride than traditional chains, lower price and work just as well in conditions we were in. Rinsed through, dried and ready for next year. 6 stars.

Looks to be a quality product, but until the appropriate weather arrives, it's difficult to tell the effectiveness! Could have received a higher score if the main product had not already been opened and the gloves that are supposed to come with, removed. I would return it, if it wasn't already Winter and would no doubt need them as soon as I send it back!

Had big issues in last March's snow so bought these snow socks as a get me home. Arrived yesterday just in time to try them out.The grip is insane! Pulling out of junctions, turning into junctions, uphill, downhill, absolutely no slip or spin at all.I drove on hard packed snow, fresh snow and deep slush.The ultimate test for me was to reverse 90 degrees onto my driveway that is on a slope and had 10cms of snow on it. Yep, no problem at all.Fitting is a bit of a faff as I have 18" wide wheels with little space to work in. However, rather that than not get home or be in a ditch! Gloves are provided but I would suggest getting some elbow length gloves as you may get mucky cuffs reaching behind the wheel to pull the sock on. I would imagine that my wife's Honda Jazz wheels would be easy to fit the snow socks onto as a comparison due to skinny wheels and lots of room.The snow socks did self centre and driving at 25 mph they stayed in place.Massive thumbs up and big confidence booster as I would be stuck - literally, in snow if I did not have these.Come as a pair with gloves and a bag that expands to accommodate the socks once removed.

Appears well made - fortunately not been used yet! Takes up no space. A good insurance in case it does snow at least can get home.

These are a replacement for a set I've used for two years. I have a new car with different tyre size. The old set still had wear left, they are amazingly effective and have got me out of trouble on 5 or 6 occasions. Easy to fit and remove. You have to try them to believe how good they are. Ideal for our here one minute , gone the next winters.

van muy bien, faciles de poner y FUNCIONAN

Excellent compromis en cas de sol enneigé

Habe regelmäßig eine hundert Meter lange steile Schotterzufahrt zu bewältigen.Im Winter, wenn ungeräumt, auch mit Allrad und Winterreifen manchmal nicht zu schaffen.Die Socken sind deutlich leichter montiert als Ketten und noch schneller wieder runter gezogen.Auch deutlich kleiner im Packmaß als Ketten, leichter sowieso.Ich kann mir auch vorstellen sie schon am liegengebliebenen Fahrzeug zu montieren (dreiviertel des Umfangs aufziehen, dann vorsichtig eine halbe Raddrehung vorziehen bzw. zurücksetzen).Zur Montage muss man in den Radkasten greifen, also mit schmutzigen Ärmeln rechnen.Bei der Fahrt nicht zu hören. In der Schneespur sieht man das Reifenprofil durch die Socken! Aber sowohl auf Eis wie auf Schnee richtig guter Grip. Bin begeistert.Viel Haltbarkeit auf Asphalt traue ich den Socken aber nicht zu. Perfekt um im Schnee zu fahren, aber nichts für Kilometer auf festem Untergrund.Habe mir nochmal zwei für die andere Achse besorgt (Allrad). Ist sicherer, habe ich bei der letzten Talfahrt gemerkt (und billiger als ein Ausrutscher).Also: Nichts für ganze Passstraßen aber perfekt für Notfälle und Fahrt auf Schnee.Dafür unbedingt meine Empfehlung.Update: die Socken sind recht sensibel was die Reifengröße angeht. Gehen wohl wirklich nur genau für die angegebene Größen (bei Ketten kann man da oft noch Nachspannen o.ä.) Probierte auf Rädern mit 5% mehr Reifenbreite, da haben die schon nicht mehr gepasst.
