Product Description

The AutoSock is a newly developed tyre cover, aimed at increasing tyre-to-road friction when driving cars on icy or snowy roads: Perfect temporary winter aid for vehicles. Easy to mount and dismount even in cold and difficult weather. Comfortable while driving maximum speed *0 km/h. Does not cause noise or vibrations. Lightweight and easy to store. Self-centering. Reusable and machine washable. Environmental and recyclable. No damage to alloy wheels. Approved by TUV and GS. Fits almost all passenger cars. Approved by leading car manufacturers. Works on all vehicles with low clearance between the tyre and the body, as well as with all electronic safety systems (ESP, ABS). Instructions: It could hardly be easier! Stop the vehicle and apply the hand brake. The vehicle must not be on a slope during fitting. AutoSock should be fitted to the driving wheels. Use the accompanying gloves and begin mounting from the top of the tyre working downwards. Stretch the elastic band over the top of the tyre, so that the band is on the inner side of the tyre. Then pull the crossing strap in order to adjust the AutoSock into the correct position - as far down as possible until the front panel becomes centered. Once in the proper position, with only the lower part not over the tyre, move the vehicle approximately 1m and pull the remainder into position. The AutoSock will automatically self-center when you start driving. How do they work? It is well known that snow and ice sticks to textiles. AutoSock is made from **0% high-technology fibers. These fibers, which become hairier with use, are arranged in a specific pattern in order to optimize grip. The specially developed textile has the advantage of handling water film found between the icy and snowy road and the tyre, (generated for example by heat from the sun, or wheel spin), thereby maximizing the grip. Which AutoSock size fits my tire? To find the correct AutoSock size for your car, simply enter the tire dimensions into the sizefinder to the right. How well do they work? AutoSock is more effective than winter tyres and are also more effective than snow chains in certain situations. They have been tested and formally approved by several leading car manufactures, and TUV SUD in Germany. AutoSock can be mounted on summer tyres and winter tyres (with or without studs). What sort of conditions can I use them in? They will improve traction on snowy or icy surfaces. It is recommended that you take them off when you get back to road conditions where no snow or ice is present, ***** dry asphalt. During the approval test by TUV, AutoSock passed the distance and durability requirement of the snow chain norm (ONorm ***7). Nevertheless asphalt & concrete driving is not recommended as it increases fabric wear considerably. If my car has ABS, can I use AutoSock? Yes, AutoSock can be used with all electronics safety systems such as; ESP, ASC+T, ASR, ABS. Unlike other traditional friction equipment, AutoSock improves the performance of the electronic safety systems as such. If my car is a four-wheel drive can I use AutoSock? Yes, you should use it on the front axle. On which tyres should I use it? AutoSock should be fitted to the driving wheels. Does the vehicle have to be jacked up to fit AutoSock? No, just stop your car and engage the handbrake. Make sure the car is not on a slope during fitting. Pull the AutoSock over the driving tyres and downwards as far as possible, and then move the vehicle approx. 1m, to pull the remainder into position. AutoSock will automatically become centered when you start driving. If you are stuck, do as above, but then make a small wheel spin instead of moving the car.
