Product Restrictions and Care
1. 50mph is a maximum speed to use Snow Socks at – not a recommended speed.
2. The socks are not to be used instead of a snow chain when chains are more appropriate, or where legally required.
3. The socks should only be used when on snow, once the car is on a gritted tarmac road, the socks should be removed and stored in the car.
4. Braking should be applied gently, if braking occurs sharply the material can wear through and the effectiveness compromised.
