Note: The ISSE Classic snow socks are not designed to be used on bare roads. Only use snow socks on snowy or icy surfaces.
ISSE Classic snow socks help you safely drive on treacherous roads by increasing traction for your tires. These snow socks are constructed of thick, durable polyolefin, making them long-lasting and extremely effective in ice and snow. The snow socks are designed in Europe and are made to meet the Colorado Department of Transportation specifications.
ISSE Classic Snow Socks vs. Snow Chains
Snow chains can be bulky and difficult to handle, and metal chains can freeze your fingers in cold weather. Tire chains also create noise and vibration while you are driving. When installing and removing chains, you have to be careful to not scratch your car or damage your wheels, especially on cars with limited wheel well clearance.
These snow socks feature a low-profile design and a lightweight construction that make them easy to handle and install. Their soft material won't damage your custom wheels. And their even surface produces no vibration or noise, making for a smooth, quiet ride.
How Classic Snow Socks Work
Your car slides on wintry roads due to a thin layer of water between your tires and the snow or ice. The friction of your tires against the ground melts the snow and ice just enough to create this lubricant. The result is a surface that is slick, which causes your tires to lose traction.
These snow socks are made of a fabric that captures this layer of water. By removing this lubricant, the snow socks are able to use dry friction to restore traction for your vehicle's tires. This occurs in part because the slippery layer of water is effectively wicked away. In addition, once the water is captured by the socks, the snow on the road will begin to stick to the wet fabric of the snow socks. This inhibits the snow from melting. So you get better traction not only because the lubricating layer is gone, but also because of the friction that occurs between the snow now stuck to the snow socks and the snow on the ground.
This method of restoring traction is quite effective. Unlike snow chains, which have metal links or spikes that dig into snow and ice to provide grip, these snow socks rely on friction to increase traction. And the strong, tightly woven polyolefin fabric covers the entire surface of each tire to ensure the most friction possible.
How to Install Classic Snow Socks
- With your vehicle in park, stretch the snow sock over the top of a tire on the drive axle.
- Pull the sock down over as much of the tire as possible.
- Slowly move the car forward 1/2 of a tire revolution, keeping the wheels straight.
- Stretch the sock over the remaining bare section of the tire.
- As you drive, the snow socks will center themselves.
How to Remove Classic Snow Socks
- Pull the snow sock away from the tire and down to the ground.
- Slowly move your car backward until the sock is completely free of the tire.
- Store the snow socks in your trunk until next use. Or take them home and wash them in your washing machine.
Class S Designation
SAE Class S tire chains and traction devices are designed for use on vehicles with restricted wheel well clearance. Certain newer cars, vans, and small trucks - especially those with large, aftermarket tires - may require Class S traction devices.
These snow socks will fit your tires provided there is both:
- A - a minimum of 1.46" (37 mm) between the top of the tire tread and the wheel well
- B - at least 0.59" (15 mm) between the tire's sidewall and the vehicle itself.
How to Choose Snow Socks for Your Vehicle
To choose the right snow socks, you must match your tire size. Those measurements can be found on the side of your tire.
185/60-15
- (185) - indicates tire width in millimeters
- (60) - gives you the aspect ratio (sidewall height as percentage of width)
- (15) - denotes the diameter of the wheel rim in inches

While I have not yet utilized the tire socks, the biggest reason to have them is simply to be compliant with the law where chains must be carried. For that purpose the product is perfect! Super light weight and far less of a hassle than dealing with steel cables or chains.

Living in Arizona we don't have a lot of use for these when we do need them it is critical that they can go on easily and work. This is one of the few places I could send my tire size and have the unit match pacifically for my tires which gives me peace of mind knowing that when I do have to use them they will fit.
by: Catharina01/26/2023

Took over a year for a sufficiently snowy day to come, but these tire socks were quite straightforward to install. Didn't notice excessive slipping around while driving.
by: Christopher02/05/2023
I live in Dallas, TX so we don’t get snow but ice and sleet and available a couple times a year. I put these on my Subaru Outback and was able to drive around the local neighborhood streets that were iced over. Stopping went well a and starting did not have any wheel spin.
by: Douglas02/28/2018
Not impressed with this product at all. If you are driving on snow, meaning absolutely no pavement or rough surface, they may be useful... but a short distance after the chain requirement point mine were shredded and all but useless.
by: NWP01/23/2023
Does not fit over the tire even though our tire size is listed.
by: Michael M.12/30/2017
Terrible decision to get these. They were supposed to fit on my tires (based on the specs). When I needed them in a bad snowstorm, I could not go more than 20 MPH. They would slide off one side or the other. I was blocking traffic trying to get them to stay on. Had to nurse the car without these or chains to an auto shop and buy a set of cables that fit. Had to go over the I-80 Donner Summit from Truckee and would not have made it with these "snow socks". I would be happy to sell these once used socks for half of what I paid for them.
by: Ian 01/04/2023
Great customer service and answered my questions within 5 minutes and then clarified further questions quickly. I was unaware of this product and it saved me having to get snow tires for a one time trip
by: Karen 11/06/2022
Snow socks arrived in great condition. Actually hoping I don't have to use them, but nice to know I've got them in the event of a "snow or ice weather event"! Great service, product, and shipping.
by: Bill12/02/2021
Watch the sizing folks. The web site said to get size 74 for our 225/60/18 tires but when they arrived, the size chart on the package said size 70 was needed. I hope this was fixed on the web site. etrailer was very good about understanding the problem and returning the original package, sending me a pre-paid return label for the UPS guy. I ordered the new ones after they received the originals and credited my account. Easily a five star rating if it were not for the step of returning and reordering.
We bought tire socks for our Subaru because the owners manual says NOT to use chains. But, when snowing in the mountains of Oregon, chains are sometimes required. We'll probably be fine without, being all wheel drive, but the police don't think so. There are hefty fines for driving without at least having chains in your possession.
by: John P02/22/2023
Needed snow traction in a hurry, and etrailer came through for us.
by: Rodney09/27/2018
Purchased for the safety of traveling through mountains out west. Have to have it in slippery conditions or state patrol won’t let you proceed. Light to pack, easy stowage, relatively easy to install, but unlike chains is tough fabric. Unsure how effective they work as we did not have need to use. More of insurance to have than not.
by: Steven12/22/2017
I haven't had a chance to use the product, but I did test the fit and they certainly install easy enough. I occasionally have to drive from the coast over the mountains to into the valley and during the winter we are required by law to carry chains or something similar on 2-wheel drive vehicles...and the storms can come seemingly out of nowhere in the high elevations...so now I am prepared. The construction of these is very good.
Not to mention, the customer service from etrailer was very good. Initially there was a slight problem with the delivery date, but they managed to rectify that without any problems. Thank you.
by: Pittsburgh01/26/2022
Wow. I was hoping these would work as reviewed and they did! Living on a hill, these socks saved me from sliding all the way home. My tires lost traction on a snowy hill; I pulled over and relatively quickly (and easily!) slipped the snow covers over my tires. Once on, I completed my drive down the snow covered road in control. My husband's going to get a pair (he was impressed how well they worked) and I plan to get these for my adult children. Well worth the cost and peace of mind knowing I have these in my car.
by: Tim11/06/2017
I would like to say great but I have not needed them. Ran into snow several times last yr but my XC90 just plowed thru without a problem. I have a friend who used them last yr - took about 5 min to put them on and we had good traction in icy hardpack. I still keep them in the car just in case. Would not be without them.
by: Ronald12/19/2022
They work good, this is my second set. If they rip can they be repaired?
by: Christine 11/08/2019
First, these are for a trip in January, so I have not used them yet, but what I can say at this point is that I'm very happy to have found something that will work on my Forester which has no clearance for chains or most cables. The Forester is great for snow, but nothing is great on black ice, so these will provide some added safety if needed. Etrailer's excellent online guidance led me to these. Thank you.
by: Kat K03/22/2019
This review is for the basic ordering of the product. We haven't needed to use the snow socks yet so can't comment on the product. We were able to order and receive the items with ease and in a timely fashion. We received what we ordered. YAY
by: David02/18/2022
I have not used the product yet, but they look exactly as represented on the website. Small enough to keep in the trunk storage compartment through the winter. Etrailer had them shipped and delivered within 3 days. Always great service!
by: Timothy 01/08/2022
I ordered these just to have on hand as we prepare for a winter trip to the southwest. I can't really testify as to how they work because I have yet to use them but etrailer is once again a pleasure to work with.
by: Jim O02/02/2017
Five star is for the service I received and the fact that the product arrived in a timely manner and fit as advertised. I tried them on the car and they were a piece of cake to install.

- Snow Chains for 2018 Volvo XC90 with 275/45r20 TiresFrom what I was able to find with my research it looks like Volvo does not recommend chains on wheels larger than 19", so your 20" wheels are going to be slightly too large and using chains on them might potentially damage some of the steering or suspension components. I do recommend checking your vehicle's owner's manual to confirm this. If your manual states that chains can be used, the Titan # TC2228CAM are a confirmed fit for your tires and would be a good choice. You also may want...

They are a Class S compatible tire chain, so technically, they are designed specifically for wheels with tight clearances.

- Recommended Tire Chain Solution for 2018 Chrysler Pacifica HybridAccording to your owner's manual, FCA states that any chains used with your tire size cannot protrude more than 9mm to the inside of the tire. Extending any further than that could cause damage. I have two alternatives that would meet that parameter. The first would be the Titan Snow Sock, part # TCH72. The stretchable fabric makes them easy to install and the fabric sticks pretty well to snow and ice providing friction. The fabric will not damage your vehicle. This being said though,...

The part # TCH72 does fit the tire size of 255/60R18 so it would fit your tires just fine. We just don't have your specific tire size as one of the listed sizes for your truck and that is why you don't not see this is an option. Your tire size must be different from stock.

The reason why the manufacturer recommends socks is so they can avoid any liability/warranty coverage just in case the vehicle sustains any damage from tire chains. With that being said, the manual does say that you can use tire chains if they are fitted properly. For a great pair of tire...

The only product we offer that would provide that kind of clearance on your 255/50-20 tires are the Titan Snow socks, part # TCH72. Because these aren't actually chains that could damage vehicle components if they broke, I can't see why using them on the front...

For regular chains we have the Pewag Servo RS set # PWRS80.

They are a solid option for lighter snow or ice, so it really depends on the severity of the roads. If you know you will be experiencing a more dramatic/heavier snow or ice event, then I do recommend going with chains in order to maximize the grip and control.
