SNOW SOCKS

Does anybody have a chart/guide that can tell me the correct snow sock size for my California Wheel/Tyre size 255/45 r18 please?

On Amazon the sizes are in a two number format... like "66" but there is no conversion chart!

THanks for all above I changed my mind an bought THule Snow Chains instead. Easy fit version and cheaper plus will be a permanent fixture as the socks can wear out quite quickly apparently..

Not strictly related, but do you know any reason that I cannot open individual vehicles up on your website either from the sponsors list or direct to the website, only the email button seems to work?

I bought a pair of socks for my old 3-Series. They lasted one 250 metre trip up the hill!!!

That would be because the SOLD cars are no longer fully viewable as I no longer own them.

Some new stock is in but yet to be added to the website I only stock 2-4 cars at a time and they sell quickly and not usually via the website so it's not priority to update for a busy one man band... Thumbs Up

Hi,
have a trial fitting before you need them Thumbs Up

I had a set for the company car and its a lot easier to read instructions and mess about with the hooks ect when time is on your side

it also means if you know how to fit them you will Never need to fit them Whistle well that's what I found

Autosocks are approved for use in France.

You do need to download and attach a sticker to the bag to prove to the Gendarmes' they are approved.

Also worth looking at the guidance issued by Autosocks France.

As far as I'm aware this only applies to genuine Autosocks and not other brands of Snowsocks.
