For lorries and commercial vehicles, AutoSock for lorries helps you save time and money when driving in harsh winter conditions. The snow socks can be fitted in minutes and keep your fleet on the move. AutoSock for trucks is legally recognized in the United States as an alternative to metal snow chains. We cover all major truck and bus wheels with 9 different sizes.

Wear and durability

AutoSock is made from 100% advanced industrial fibers. During the wear tests for ÖNORM certification, AutoSock was tested over 100 km on dry tarmac. A major Japanese car manufacturer tested AutoSock for 350 kilometers on dry fresh snow. The wear and tear of AutoSock depends on the driving behavior and surface:

• Surface (fresh snow, slush, ice, tarmac, concrete, gravel)
• Speed and driving behavior (spinning wheels, emergency braking)
• Tire dimensions, type, air pressure, and profile
• Load and axle load
