Goodyear Ultra Grip 2 Snow
Coming with the reassurance of the Goodyear name, these Ultra Grip snow socks are available in five different sizes to suit a range of vehicles. The fabric design translates into good grip in poor conditions without causing unwelcome vibrations, and has the added bonus of TUV approval.
Husky Textile Snow Sock
One of the key features of the Husky Textile Snow Sock is that it comes in a much bigger variety of sizes than most rival products, to the point where you buy a specific size that matches the dimensions of your tyres exactly. That means you are certain of a good fit and minimal slippage once the snow sock is installed. Washable and supplied in a handy carry case, the Husky Snow Socks are finished in eye-catching red and white too.
ISSE C60070 Textile Snow Chains Tribologic Classic
These offerings from ISSE come in six different sizes to cover tyres between 13-inches and a massive 22-inches, with the latter costing somewhat more than the smaller versions. Supplied with a carry bag for storage and some light gloves to avoid getting your hands dirty during installation, the Textile Snow Chains are had to miss thanks to the strong black and red stripe pattern.
