AutoSocks are a very simple, and workable accessory that can be kept in your 4×4, ‘just in case’. Very easy, and quick, to fit, you slip these ‘socks’ over your wheels to get maximum traction in difficult circumstances. OK, so you should have decent tyres but many 4×4 tyre combinations are more road orientated. No, they are not an alternative to snow chains, but then for the majority of time, chains are not necessary on UK roads. We have tested AutoSocks in extreme snow conditions and were certainly impressed at the extra traction available. Of course, for a 4×4, you will need two pairs. Prices start from £49.95. You can get AutoSocks from The Roof Box Company, call 01539 621884 or go to: www.roofbox.co.uk
