Im thinking about getting some - which are the drive wheels on a 2wd? My (non) helpful colleague has suggested that if it snows I just do the journey in small stages and park up until the snow melts ... grrrrr

They may work in emergencies, but if you want to use your Bongo regularly in the cold season, get yourself some winter tyres.

Re: Snow Socks
Just tried them today and they are brilliant on roads only driven on by tractor up and down steep incline. Very easy to put on and take off. As we are 4wd think i might get another pair, would be able to go anywhere.
