Tyred of getting stuck
November 25, 2010
Vauxhall has introduced its latest must-have accessory to get drivers out of slippery situations – the highly effective snow.
Far less cumbersome than snow chains and more effective than winter tyres, the socks – which have won European approval – simply slip over the wheels of a vehicle and work by creating friction.
Snow Socks are available from Vauxhall Retailers starting at £49.95 RRP and can be used on all makes and models of vehicles. For more information contact your local Vauxhall retailer.
The socks have TUV approval (TÜV* is the highly-respected global safety standards organisation based in Germany.)
