Forget snow shoes you need snocks!

If we have a repeat of last winter’s conditions then we could all do with some snow socks or ‘snocks’, according to Automotive Wheels.

They are said to take just a couple of minutes to fit to each wheel, giving motorists a better grip in the snow. They do not damage the wheel like snow chains can and come with a two year warranty.

Snocks are said to be up to 98% as effective as snow chains but more economical to buy and come with a two year warranty.
