The new 'High-Performance' AutoSock car socks are now featured on the Auto Express website - www.autoexpress.co.uk

Under the title of 'Cool sock for big wheels', it explains how the "newcomers are designed to give extra grip in bad weather conditions to models with wide, low-profile tyres on up to 18-inch rims".

AutoSocks are textile wheel covers with an elasticated edge; you just slip them over the driving wheels when you find yourself getting stuck. ("Yes - it really is this easy" and "Yes, of course they work!") Be prepared for the winter by carrying a set of AutoSock in your car.
