Default Autosock “snow chains”

Bought brand new for £70 3 years ago for my Volvo XC90 (tyre size 275/45/20) but never used.

Very useful to keep under the boot floor for emergencies or to be compliant if travelling to Europe. I never had to use them in the Volvo XC90 (now sold) but had a pair for a golf which worked a treat in the alps, being a lot less fiddly than proper chains!

Item is located in Witham, Essex. Collection preferred but can post at buyers expense. Price £35.

Pack contains 2 snowsocks, size 698.

Info from https://www.autosockdirect.co.uk below:

AutoSock were launched in Norway in 2002 after a long period of testing, evaluation and improvement. Sales have grown exponentially, with over 2.8 million pairs now sold worldwide, 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 general traction, 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).

The media often make the mistake of assuming that all snow socks have the same performance as AutoSock, and may be used where AutoSock are approved for use as a snowchain alternative. Some retailers of snow socks also make incorrect statements. The facts of the matter are that many snow socks were approved in France (up to 1st December 2020), but AutoSock is the only snowsock that has ever been legal in Austria, Italy and Switzerland.
