Review: The BEST traction device ever invented! - 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.
Review: Auto socks - I've switched from chains to these. I don't live in the snow, but travel to it often. If I lived in it, maybe chains are better, idk. These are easy in, easy off. If they hit bare pavement, they will wear out quick.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These Snow Socks DO THE JOB.... (caveat please read)
*by C***S 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.
