Video tutorial

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.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
