Given the number of days (usually) that snow affects us, snow socks are definitely a good but cheaper investment than winter tyres ( at around £70 a pr.for 245x18") I saw a number of 6s in the Alps last year using these in deep snow with icy roads and they had climbed a steep village track to park outside their chalet. They are pretty easy to put on too.

I've got a set of chains but, lo and behold, the west of Scotland has been free of snow this year whilst the rest of the uk has been knee deep!!
