Why buy chains when they exist?

Do not damage tires or wheel arches with hanging chains if they become loose. I wish I had bought this sooner because I almost had an accident in the mountains with the chains coming loose. Their only downside is that they have to be removed at night in sub-zero temperatures as they freeze and are likely to break more easily once you start driving again. I'm not deducting a star because they just work so well. You can't even tell they're on!

Rear wheel drive benefits from Auto Sock

After trying to drive on a snow and ice covered road with only winter tires I figured I'd have to leave the car in the garage until the end of the season. Before adding Auto Sock I was able to travel 5 meters on my 650 meter road before stopping. I have a rear wheel drive Mercedes E 350 and the traction control has disabled everything. After attaching Auto Sock to my rear wheels, I just kept climbing. I never slipped and felt the transmission upshift as the speed increased. I am very impressed…

Pros
  • Great product
Cons
  • Only available in black

I have a showroom in Sierras but I drive a Ford Fusion Energi which does not come with tracks due to the small wheel arch clearance can be. Unfortunately, I occasionally get caught in (or blown out of) snow on the road between San Francisco and my cabin, since it's at 4,000 feet, just above the snow line. I only need chains for about five miles of my trip and the AutoSock is perfect for my needs. They can be put on and taken off in a few minutes and offer a very good hold. I can't say how long…

Simple in every way

I took my family to the mountains to catch a snowfall in Big Bear Ca. As you can see from the picture, the road was not completely covered with snow, it was wet. I read some reviews about toe-snapping on the pavement, so I was apprehensive at first and drove the X1 carefully. To my first surprise it was really easy to fit compared to normal snow chains, secondly they let my car through the snow chain check, thirdly it didn't suffer much damage. I made sure I was driving under 25 mph. But the…

Exceptional traction in an emergency

As expected, my car's 4WD failed just as the 21 heavy snowfall in the Chicago area began. I had pretty decent all-weather tires that got me through the last couple of snow laps, so I figured I'd be fine even if my rear wheels weren't getting any power. nope I immediately got stuck in my lane. Luckily, my neighbors were able to help with the digging and shoveling, but it was a very stressful and difficult situation. I ordered a pair of these snow socks hoping they would help me get back to the…

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Hard to say

Takes less than 5 minutes to put them on even if you're just stuck in the snow and they are working very good. Spring. A moment of fun as the CX-9s tried to jump out of their area in front of me and turned towards the curb leading back to their area. It doesn't often snow in the town where I live, but when it fell last winter it saved our lives. Again, it's incredibly easy to install, even if you're stuck and haven't installed or tested them before (which, of course, was stupid of me not to…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Good but not great

Cars are great!

I bought these for our 2004 Toyota Sienna Van because it's not good in the snow. We live in DC so snow isn't a big problem most of the time. But I wanted something we can keep in the car if we ever get stuck in a snow storm. I originally wanted to get a set of chains but they looked like my wife would have a hard time getting them on the bikes by herself. Of course I was skeptical about Autosocks, but after reading the positive reviews I decided to give it a try. And boy am I glad I did! It…

  • Absolutely amazing!
