FOR CARS AND LIGHT COMMERCIAL VEHICLES
The original textile traction strap gives your car quick and reliable grip on snow and ice.AutoSock for cars fits well on vehicles with low ground clearance in the tire house and works perfectly with optional tires - even if snow chains are not recommended.AutoSock for cars is available in 10 different sizes and covers more than 500 of the most common tire dimensions.
HIGHEST PRODUCT QUALITY IN ALL COMPONENTS
-
outer fabric
The woven and coated mesh stabilizes the entire AutoSock and prevents snow or dirt from accumulating between the tire and the road contact fabric.
-
tapes
The straps give AutoSock a distinctive look. They support the assembly and disassembly of the product and provide additional stability.
-
contact material
The unique fabric construction ensures a long product life and excellent friction. The arranged fibers make it easier for the textile to absorb water between the ground and the tire and maximize traction.
-
inner fabric
The inner fabric, normally used for high-quality parachutes, holds AutoSock in position, ensures the correct fit to the hoop and supports the black elastic band to reach its ideal position behind the hoop for optimal tension
-
elastic
The elastic band holds AutoSock in position, supports self-centering and ensures a stable fit on the tire. The combination of toughness, stretch and elasticity for best performance was evaluated in extensive tests during the development of AutoSock.
-
Textiles tend to stick to dry snow and ice.The arranged fibers used for AutoSock's road contact fabric make it easier for the textile to absorb and wick away any water between the ground and the tire, maximizing dry friction grip.Each thread of the road contact fabric is made up of more than 100 fine high performance fibers, resulting in a "hairy" surface of the AutoSock traction fabric.These "hairs" penetrate the slippery water film and bond the tires directly to the ground (snow).When used correctly, AutoSock becomes "hairier" and even improves performance over time.
