  • Imagine if that got wrapped around your axle. Good times getting that un-done. I think I will stick with chains on top of studded tires.

  • 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.

  • @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

  • @JanJanych is that in your vast experienced use of them then?

  • @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.

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

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

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

  • This "sock" is piece of crap.

  • This was two years ago. So are they used in Colorado now? How long do they last?
