There ment to be good but they can NOT be driven on the road of course...So if your driven in pure thick snow from start to finish then go for it...If your car is rear when drive they recommend you have all four wheels with them on

Put proper snow tyres on best all round solution. Prius was unstoppable last year - up hills, down hills, deep snow etc and tyres were cheapest possible at £35 each.

As said above, those snow socks are ok if your journey is snow/ice all the way, but a few miles of tarmac will shred them.

Do you know if I can get 225/40/18 snow tyres for that cheap? don't mind going a bit narrow like 215 or something but I can't find any under £80 Sad

likewise for me too.
snow socks look good for the snow but realisticly once out of the back streets then decent winter tyres should suffice.

i dont think many tyres or snow socks would get you out of this tho
