New 'Sock' For Tires Could Replace Chains

[minutemanbandmom]

Nice, they don't chew up the pavement. And drivers will be safer because they won't be spending so much time outside of the truck.

a truck driver got a heart attack while removing wheel chains?

[niceboyandy]

@tickle2012 No, while he was putting them on. The chains they use for the big trucks are quite heavy, especially and tiring if your an ageing or over wait trucker.

7 news selling the product for the company. lol wonder what else they help sell for money?

[chunkyfecalbreakfast]

This is not news, this is an infomercial. This kind of advertising is illegal in the UK

[MTCoblivsicas12345]

@chunkyfecalbreakfast it isnt illegal its called public relations for example if Tesco gave money to charity then a newspaper may report on this its called improving public relations its a free form of advertising
