Product Information
Full details
The Bluecol Snow Sock is for drivers needing a temporary, easy-to-fit solution for traction on snow and ice. Its key benefit is providing immediate grip to help you navigate slippery conditions, offering a more affordable alternative to snow chains or winter tires. A caveat is their intended use is strictly for snow and ice, and they have a maximum speed limit.

FAQs
Where do I fit the Bluecol Snow Socks?
The snow socks must be mounted on the traction wheels (the wheels that drive the vehicle).
What is the maximum speed I can drive with snow socks fitted?
The maximum recommended driving speed is 25 miles per hour.
Can I use these snow socks on clear roads?
No, Bluecol Snow Socks should only be used on snow and ice. Driving on clear roads can damage the socks and your tires.
How do I remove the snow socks?
Pull the upper part of the sock to remove it from the tire. Then, turn the wheel half a turn to expose the remaining part and pull it off completely.
Are these reusable?
Yes, Bluecol Snow Socks are reusable. Clean them after use and store them in a dry place.
How do I know which size to buy?
Check the number embossed on the sidewall of your tire and match it to the product's technical details for the correct size.
What comes in the heavy-duty pack?
The pack contains 2x Snow Socks, a pair of fabric fitting gloves, and mounting instructions.
Troubleshooting
Snow sock is difficult to fit
Ensure the tire is clean. Try rolling the vehicle forward or backward slightly to get better access. Double-check that you have the correct size sock for your tire.
Snow sock feels loose or slips during driving
Re-check that the elasticated bands are fully seated and that the heavy-duty straps are securely fastened. Ensure the sock is covering the entire tread surface evenly.
Reduced traction after fitting
Verify the snow socks are fitted on the correct traction wheels. Ensure they are fully extended over the tire tread and not bunched up.
Snow sock tore during installation or use
Inspect the tire for any sharp objects or damage. Avoid using the socks on surfaces other than snow and ice, as this can cause tears. Ensure the correct size is used to avoid overstretching.
