Car snow chains and snow socks FAQs
In the UK, using snow chains is permitted as long as the road is snow- or ice-covered. They’re not meant for clear roads, since that can damage both the chains and your tyres. If you’re heading somewhere with heavier snowfall, they’re a good thing to keep in the boot just in case.
They’re actually really handy when roads get slippery. You can fit them over your tyres in just a few minutes, and they give that bit of extra grip when you're driving in light snow. Loads of drivers use them as a backup in case the weather turns. You can grab a pair from Halfords if you want to be prepared ahead of winter.
