traction in snow

[overchecking]

there supposed to be the best thing to use, apparently a lot of car manufacturers are in talks with the makers, for what reason i dont know but thats what i read,

maybe to supply them with there own branded ones.



me myself i run a van and i get about easy, no sliding no loss of control and its been belting snow here, low gear with low revs = no slide.

too many times do i see idiots in first gear rev'ing the bollocks out of the car and all it does is spin the wheels.

Sounds like an idea my neighbour had, she was out putting the bin out in here high heeled boots with socks over the top of them !!! i thought she was mental ! but your feet actually stick to the snow, if they could tranfer that idea over to cars and get it working it would be cool.

they have there tyre socks i think you can get them on ebay although there not cheap,

the manufacturers are maybe in talks just to get branded ones.

they do work though.

Yeah agree, in the thick snow and ice no grit you can quite 'happily' do 20 MPH, untill you come across some dick-head doing 5 MPH, then you can't really over take them, bastards.

If you feel a 'twitch' just ease off the gas (american wording)

The snow socks are excellent. The in-laws stay on a steep street and I got stuck at the bottom of it over xmas and the father-in-law had these snow socks, slipped them over the wheels and away I went...no probs.
