NEW! WeissSock Traction Product

Weissenfels WeissSock tire socks are the next generation is traction products. Unlike tire chains, grip is provided by an all covering textile surface with no metal parts being used. WeissSock is lightweight and extremely quick and simple to install. Installation is also made easy since there is nothing to adjust, they automatically self center as you drive. Since there is no metal in contact with the road, the WeissSock is totally smooth running with absolutely no vibrations or noise while driving.

Removing WeissSocks is simply a matter of pulling to the side of the road and driving off them.

We thoroughly recommend the WeissSock as a cost effective, highly efficient, easy to use traction aid that is ideal for use in most snow conditions. In our opinion, the WeissSock gives amazing traction. However, as with using tire chains, efficiency is greatly enhanced if WeissSocks are fitted to all four tires. The resulting traction is unbelievable!
