When to use snow chains and when to use snow socks

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Snow chains

Video tutorial

In this video we try to clarify for which situations chains are suitable and for which snow socks are suitable. Chains are the best option when there is abundant snow and icy ground; they are available in various sizes depending on the tire size; with chains you can also drive short stretches of unplowed asphalt; they are the best option for driving on uphill roads, while they are really inconvenient in cities.

Snow socks, on the other hand, are suitable for all cars with little maneuvering space in the wheel arch, and are very effective with thin layers of fresh snow, so much so that they are approved in Italy as "additional grip devices". Snow socks are not recommended on uphill roads, but are excellent in cities.
