Your Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can I use AutoSock when tire chains are mandatory?
AutoSock is a legal alternative to snow chains for cars and trucks in the majority of Northern America, Europe and Asia. In the U.S., most states do not regulate traction devices for cars and SUVs. However, where there are traction laws in place, AutoSock is approved. Check out your local state regulations here.
How does AutoSock perform compared to winter tires and snow chains?
Proper winter tires (not 'all season' tyres) are an excellent choice for the winter months but they have their limitations. Winter tires lose grip when the combination of snow and slope counts against them. Drivers worldwide are using AutoSock on winter tires to e.g., climb steeper hills on icy roads and for making safe descents in loaded vehicles. AutoSock can be more effective than snow chains in many situations, especially on ice. AutoSock does meet all performance, safety and durability requirements of any snow chain standard worldwide. Not sure about the tire chain standard for your state? Check out your local state regulations here.
Should AutoSock be mounted on the front or rear wheels?
If you have rear wheel drive, please mount AutoSock to the rear wheels. In order to increase braking and steering performance, it makes sense to also mount AutoSock on the front wheels. Please check and follow the instructions of your vehicle`s owner manual concerning traction devices / snow chains. Some manufacturers do not allow mounting of traction devices to the front wheels.
