Testing snow socks with a Volkswagen Golf

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf VII, MK 7, Golf 7 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Snow chains

In this video, we see an interesting test with various types of snow socks, mounted on a Volkswagen Golf VII, and tested on an uphill road covered in ice. Normally we know that for this type of road normal chains are recommended, but here we are shown that the best type of socks (referred to as "pro" here) achieve the same result as chains, giving the driver the feeling of driving on dry asphalt, not only on thick snow, but even on ice and during braking. Even the so-called "base" socks achieve more than decent results, so the test went very well and they are recommended even if they must be used with due caution.
