AutoSock were launched in Norway in 2002 after a long period of testing, evaluation and improvement. Sales have grown very fast in the years since then, mostly on recommendation. When you've had the opportunity to test them for real you'll soon realise why. Most people are not only surprised but astonished at the difference they make to overall grip, cornering, and braking.
"This cheap alternative to snowchains or to winter tyres is staggeringly easy to fit... I used them while driving in the French Alps last week and can confirm they are absolutely superb."
Nat Barnes, AA Motoring Writer of the Year
They're also now approved by many car manufacturers, including BMW Group, Fiat, Honda, Jaguar, Lexus, PSA Peugeot Citroën, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Toyota, and VW Group.
The bottom line is that AutoSock will provide a massive boost in all round confidence when driving on ice and snow, and hopefully "Get you home" or to wherever you're going, but don't overcook it, i.e. you should always drive with particular care in wintry conditions.
Each set contains:
There's only one possible way to fit AutoSock, and no practice is required.
Please note that AutoSock will wear out with use, and that worn out AutoSock is not a guarantee issue! They'll get you moving and keep you moving - see the "Driving with AutoSock" notes on the Downloads page.
Following the last two winters there is a particular problem this year with copy and imitation products in both the Irish and UK markets. AutoSock created and developed the car snow sock concept, and own the relevant patents. They consider that all other snow sock products on the market are likely to be infringing their patents, and are taking legal action against many of the copiers. Fleet managers in particular may wish to check that any copies they buy have proper product liability insurance in place, and that any test centre approvals that are quoted on the advertising for these copy products do in fact exist!
Please test AutoSock at the first good opportunity, and then pass the word!
