I'd love to use chains but just have to stick to socks on the rear the roads are a disaster area in falkirk you can let go off the steering wheel and car happily steers round corners itself sadly it doesn't talk ;D ;D.
I'm scared my exhaust is going to be ripped off the ruts are solid ice :(

interesting, looked at a few sites re socks or chains, socks seemed to priced more than chains which suprised me, or maybe i was looking at the wrong wheel sizes or something. So i thought may as well get chains, but then wondered if they damage your wheels or tyres?

But by the time i had wondered and thought there was a foot of snow on the ground and we had to dig our way out.

In the end i'm glad i didnt get round to it as they wherent really needed. As said they would only have been of use to the main road, and once on compacted snow the omega drove up our slightly up hill close with no real drame tbh

Mind you we arent through it yet going by the forecast so i may still regret not getting any/either

Tbh there didnt seem much comparison between socks and chains, as socks looked more expensive and just dont last.
