AutoSock for Trucks were launched in 2006 after a long period of testing, evaluation and improvement. The car version has been selling since 2002, mostly on recommendation, and anyone who's had the opportunity to test them for real will immediately realise why. Most people are not only surprised but astonished at the difference they make to general traction, cornering, and braking.
They can be used time and again and, unlike snow chains, can even be fitted on a hill, after you've got stuck. When tested on a 12% incline, where the test trucks slipped back down the hill before AutoSock were fitted, the AutoSock for Trucks could be fitted on the slope, and then the trucks moved both up and down the hill, repeatedly, without any problems. A similar test was done on sheet ice on a 6% incline. They've also been approved by the German TÜV.

AutoSock are a very important "Get me home" product when driving on snow. Just pull a set over the driving wheels of your car if you are worried about the conditions, or after you have got stuck, and you'll be amazed at the difference they make. But you need a set in the car before you set out!
Although developed in Norway, they're particularly appropriate for the UK, where we experience sudden and sporadic snow fall, usually short lasting, but so often the cause of massive disruption and inconvenience while it lasts.
A fraction of the price of winter tyres & reusable
AutoSock are the 'original & best'. There are many cheap fakes on the market that haven’t been safety tested like AutoSock and do not perform to the same high standards as the genuine article.
From its beginning, the AutoSock product has been developed in close collaboration with car manufacturers and the german TÜV Süd. Since 2001, AutoSock has been certified by TÜV Süd as a "winter emergency driving aid".
In 2008, AutoSock passed the requirements of the new ÖNorm V5121 and are approved as a snow chain equivalent. During the same year, the AutoSock for Truck product range gained approval as a traction device by the CDOT (Colorado Department of Transportation) / USA.
As well as the car manufacturer endorsements, AutoSock meets the requirements of the European snow chain standard EN16662-1:2020, and may be used on vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes GVW in the EU (except Austria), and in Switzerland, where there is a requirement for snow chains to be carried.
Austria told the market in June 2022 that it does not accept the new standard EN16662-1:2020, in place from 1st December 2020, so AutoSock are not approved in Austria where it is mandatory to carry snow chains, and to use them if the conditions require it. We hope that this anomaly will be resolved soon.
AutoSock are so simple to fit that they require no practise and only take a couple of minutes to install - even with freezing fingers!
AutoSock are suitable for vehicles with limited clearance and also improve electronic safety systems like ABS. They won't damage your alloys either (unlike some snow chains).
AutoSock will automatically self centre when you begin driving.
