Not a car - product testingJust ordered a set of these for the 135i as am going off to Morzine on Sunday for a week's skiing and then on to Frankfurt and Berlin to see friends.http://www.roofbox.co.uk/autosock/?gclid=CPuwsYW3i5kCFQ6T3wodAAcBlw At £65 quid, it's much cheaper than chains or winter tyres (plus finding winter tyres for 245/35/R18 rears and 215/45/R18 fronts is proving impossible! Shall let you know whether they are any good as and when I have to use them. |

A very clever concept... it will be interesting to see how they perform?
You know you need an LSD really! http://video.aol.com/video-detail...mited-slip-differential/538903604 |

Interesting - brilliant idea if they work as well as claimed.
When are you going to be in Berlin? |

Not sure yet. One of my sisters lives there in the old East part so thought I might pay her a visit but I've not actually contacted her yet to see whether the timing suits! | ||

Will be interested to hear how they perform, I looked into them for our trip to Val d'Isere but was a bit put off by the price, seemed like overkill for a Fiesta. In the end I found some snow chains on Ebay - which did the job perfectly - for £23. | ||

Let me know - we could meet for a beer. I can also recommend some bits of Autobahn if you want to headbutt the 135's speed-limiter ... |

I wonder if I can get a set for my gran, she's a bit unstable in icy conditions. |
