I notice it's only effective for a few miles so useless if you had a longish journey, and any contact with ashphalt and it's gone. Not particulalrly cheap at £9.99 but ok I guess if you had to make a short journey.

they do say its more for emergency... i.e you live at the top of a hill and you're stuck at the bottom... would make perfect sense to me and if they weren't out of stock i would probs get a couple.... but as they have none, and the road on the hill to mine was cleared by my old man and his band of merry neighbors, i wont bother

The only real solution is to fit smouldering tyres as they melt the snow as you drive along :- www.acmesmoulderingsnowtyres.com

I found that I had more problems bellying out.
The rear tyres spin and bottom/belly out the mig well in 14" what chance have you  got.
I found that piling the snow from the centre of the road to tyre tracks helped lift the car off the compacted snow.
I'm running x2 205 65 15 snowies on the rear and x2 195 65 15 camparios on the front both at 28 psi
