I saw your recent reply about snow socks. I have a pair of AutoSocks, which I have used three times. In January I travelled twenty-six miles in them on partially gritted and very snowy non-gritted roads. I found them to be amazing. In places I was driving through two to three inches of fresh snow up and down steep hills in a Volkswagen Touran. I passed abandoned vehicles and at times I was one of the few vehicles on the road. When I got to a gritted stretch of road I slowed right down to about fifteen miles an hour and they did not shred. There is some minor wear on them but apart from that they are fine. I would strongly recommend using them. They are not quite as easy to get on as the adverts make out but once on they are brilliant.
