Snow socks are used to increase your vehicle’s traction when driving on slippery roads covered with snow and ice.

They must be removed when road conditions change to dryer conditions with asphalt exposed, or the material will be quickly damaged.
Snow socks offer extra traction nearly as good as snow chains, are easier to install and won’t damage the road like snow chains can. They can be used in areas where snow chains are prohibited.
