Posted: Nov 16, 2010 |Comments: 0 | Views: 298 |

Tyre socks are or snow socks are designed to fit on the tyre to give maximum traction in snow or frost conditions. The tyre sock is made from new textile material using the very latest's techniques in design.

Years ago when frost and snow would last for some time the older generation would adapt to these conditions by wearing socks outside their shoes for better grip and it worked. The weissenfels tyre sock is a brilliant idea to allow people get home or complete their journey in safety. Last winter in Ireland how many people were trapped in their homes because they could not travel in the snow or had to abandon their cars on the road side, even 4 by 4 vehicles found it difficult to get grip.

The  tyre sock is very easy to fit by slipping on over the tyre, Start at the top of the wheel and pull it down both sides to the bottom of the tyre, then drive forward about one meter and pull the tyre sock on over the remainder of the tyre and that's it. It only takes two minutes to apply the tyre sock and allows you to continue your journey in a safe manner.

The s tyre socks are lightweight only one kilogram, easy and fast to fit, give a smooth ride and are reusable. They come in all sizes to fit whatever size tyre you use in your car .The tyre size is engrained on the tyre and may look like this, 195 /60 /16, these are the figures you should quote when ordering your weissenfels tyre socks.

The pack contain a pair of socks which should be applied to the drive wheels of the car, in most modern cars the drive wheels are in the front of the car. Ideally for more safety and traction the four wheels should have tyre socks as this should help in preventing the rear of the car from sliding.

    Snow socks are a better alternative than snow chains for people who have to drive in snow and where snow falls can sometimes last for short periods. People who live in isolated areas or where salting trucks do not travel may be more affected. Snow chains can be cumbersome to fit and will not fit some cars where there is not enough of clearance.
