No idea why Renault are sending me emails, but they just have.. They're doing snow socks for £60. No idea if that's a good price or not just thought I'd share

Linky is www.renault.co.uk/winter

Link now correct...

With snow chains now at around £20-£30 I wouldn't bother with snow socks. I know a few folks who have them and they like them but I was managing to drive about in the bit of snow that was on the road with standard tyres. Once the snow got a bit deeper, chains were the answer, or find a hedge and park through it.

Snow chains are £20 from Lidl but a bugger to put on snow socks are easy to put on and quite effective but £60 is a lot more than Asda were charging for a similar product.

I saw snow-socks at asda for £35 a pair.
Probably more than that once the snow hits

The chains I used last year took less than 2 minutes to fit and that was with thick gloves in a foot of snow in a blizzard. Nothing like the ones I used to have which cost over £100 and took about 20 minutes to fit!
