ISSE C60058 Classic Issue Snow Socks for Traction, Size 58

Product was used once and fell apart.I ordered this tire sock according to the chart shown to fit my wheels and tires. We just had a heavy snow and at the time when I used these socks there was approximately 3 inches of snow. I live on a pretty steep hill (30 degrees) and I had to use these socks to get up the hill. With a ton of wheel spin and very little grip from the snow socks I made it up the hill just to find the snow socks shredded.

We bought these a year ago for Christmas and finally had a need to use them. After a day of skiing and lots of new snow we put them on our car to come down off the mountain. They worked great... until they shredded. They were torn to pieces by the time we got to the bottom of the resort road and needed to get on the highway: About 3 miles of snow covered road. Very frustrating. Real waste of money unless you’re looking for an easy to install 1 time use.

This snow socks works very well under following conditions:- the roads you travel are all covered with full snow and ice with no part of your journey on roads that have no snow or ice.This will work very well on places like ski area where everywhere are snow and ice and no bare aspalt surface.- the snow is not taller than your vehicle ground clearance.This snow socks will not work under following conditions:-on roads that are full of melting slush. The slush and water will get soaked onto the socks making it too heavy and they will then drag themselves off your wheels when you drive over 20 MPH.- on roads that are only partiality covered with snow or ice but not completely covered by snow or ice. The aspalt or concrete surface part of the roads would destroy the socks in mins.For emergency snowy condition, this is an excellent solution if you don't have snow tires.

I was finally in a situation that needed these snow socks. An icy low traffic road with a fresh layer of snow from the night before.They went on fairly easy and was able to put them on in about 5 minutes. I tested it out a few times speeding up to 10-15 mph downhill then stomping on the brakes. They worked like a charm and allowed me to stop almost instantly. I was extremely happy with it.By the time I got to the main road there was a mix of ice, mud, and snow. I knew I should not drive with these things on pavement, but it was still too dangerous to take them off. I kept the speed under 30 mph and was able to go a good distance in the mud with these socks. However, as soon as I met pavement my left tire sock instantly popped out into my wheel well.The socks lasted about 15 mins. I had to cut it out because it was tangled around my rotor/caliper, and I was crushed.6/10 would buy a snow sock again.0/10 would buy these socks again.Lessons learned:Snow socks are a great alternative if you only do a trip to the mountains once in a while. I would get snow socks again, but I would make sure they have bands on the outside to keep the sock from slipping into the wheel well. These don't have bands or fabric that keeps the socks from slipping inward like the autosocks.

Got me out of a pinch today when a snowstorm hit. They worked as expected. The amount of traction I received from these alone was phenomenal. My car stopped and handled 100% better. Took me not even 5 minutes to get them on the wheels. I do recommend to keep a set of work gloves with you as you will get your hands dirty. They come with some plastic gloves but a nice cheap set of work gloves will be better. As the others say you shouldn't take them on bare pavement. Honestly though in a pinch they come on and off in no time at all.

I live in northern PA up on a back road hill and have a log driveway which is also up a steeper hill. I was excited to have my snowsocks delivered today so I could leave without the worry of not making it back up the hill and driveway in my front wheel drive Ford Focus Hatchback. Long behold I wasn’t able to make it after several attempts, so I got out and within 5 minutes had the snow socks on and was on my way up the driveway without a fuss or even a slip... Great buy and recommend them!!

I recently moved to Nevada and snow chains are required on some roads when the snow gets bad, well I had these in my trunk and they got me out of a bad situation because I have a rear wheel drive car and was going up hill. They were a little tough putting on as I had never used them before. Once I was able to get them completely on I had no problem getting out of the jam that I was in.

Worked great on my rear wheel drive car. Took less than 10 minutes to put on first time less than that afterwards. Used them on 5 separate occasions putting 60 miles on them and they still appear brand new after a wash. I would advise only using them to drive around town though. If your doing highway driving spend money on chains or studs as you can't exceed 35 mph with these. Most snow I used them in was about 3 inches and my rear wheel drive car could make the hills without any wheel spin and it also helps with stopping.

Je m'en suis servi au moins deux ans de suite, pour monter et descendre de la station (Avoriaz). La première année, la police obligeait à chaîner dès Morzine sur route sèche (à 13km de la station). Avec tous les commentaires que nous avions vus nous étions inquiets qu'elles s'usent sur le goudron avant même d'arriver à la partie enneigée, mais en roulant lentement tout s'est bien passé, accroche parfaite, et aucune usure en arrivant en haut, du coup pas besoin de les remplacer. L'année suivante, on en a eu besoin à la descente cette fois. Et quelle descente... Alternance de goudron, neige, et glace, tenue de route toujours parfaite, et on les a retirées après 40km. Cette fois il y a des trous au niveau du relief des coutures, donc je vais les remplacer avant cet hiver. Elles auraient pu tenir des km en plus, mais pour une nouvelle saison je préfère des neuves.Conclusion: ça fait le job. Clairement c'est de l'appoint, c'est pas aussi durable que des chaînes. Mais pour une voiture non chaînable, quand on va à la montagne l'hiver une fois par an, pas la peine d'investir dans des chaînes ultra fines à 400€. C'est vite mis, vite enlevé, léger, compact...C'est pas fait pour quelqu'un qui vit avec la neige 4 mois par an, mais de toute façon il ne serait pas en train de lire cet avis.

I have a 4x4 with winter tyres and have never needed to use snow chains whilst on ski holidays. So to be lugging chains around on the off chance you may need to use them one day is a pain. Not to mention the nightmare of fitting them, rolling around in the snow etc.These snow socks will get you out of trouble should you get stuck. They are so easy to fit and remove, they are light and can easily be stored in the spare wheel well.

Chaussettes achetées pour se rendre dans les alpes à 1600m.Positif :- super rapide à mettre en place. En 30 secondes les 2 chaussettes étaient posées.Négatif :- S’usent très rapidement. Utilisées à la montée et à la descente. Une fois arrivée en bas gros trou dans une chaussette = a jeter.- Il y avait 10 cm de neige et les chaussettes n’offrent clairement pas la même tenue de route que des chaînes classiques.Pour résumer : à privilégier si vous pariez que le niveau de neige sur la route sera très faible.

Snow expected so just got these... perfect fit .. only negative comment is.. "storage bag and gloves" ....consist of a thin plastic bag and thin plastic gloves ! ... so shall find something a bit more substantial and better gloves . ..bring the snow on ! :)

good product at a good price, not used yet
