“With so many of us caught out by the big freeze last year, it is important to be better prepared for whatever this winter will throw at us,” said Sophie Thomas, Vauxhall Accessories Manager. “If we need to make it home from work, get to the train station or pick the kids up from school after a sudden change to icy conditions, Snow Socks are a perfect solution. They’re easily fitted and stored, and, if used according to the guidelines, will last for years.”
The covers, which are TUV-approved, are less cumbersome than snow chains and offer a higher level of efficiency compared to snow tires. Users can slip them over the driving wheels.
The socks are made from a textured fabric that sticks to dry snow and ice, with the fibres on the covers being arranged at the right angles in the direction of travel in over to offer a high level of traction on the road.
The Snow Socks are available at Vauxhall Retailers, have a starting price of GBP49,95. We have to mention that the products are not a Vauxhall-only features, as they are suitable for all makes and models.
