I have nothing against Thule because they make good products. But for the same money as this and many other similar products, you can buy a set of real winter tires, steel rims, a light jack and a four-way key. Winter tires that can travel thousands of kilometers on the motorway even at high speeds. Winter tires that won't slip or knock you-know-what out of your fenders. Winter tires that run like regular tires (albeit a bit noisier). Winter tires that can be stored in your garage, basement or storeroom and used for many years.
