It may be mid-September, but winter is just around the corner folks, and for those living in northern states and the mountains, that corner is coming up quickly. With that in mind I present Snowbootz, a new gizmo that will help you drive through snow and ice.
According to Navimetrix (a division of Signal Ventures, Inc.) the makers of Snowbootz, they offer these advantages over chains:
• Quick and easy installation - takes about one minute per tire
• Fits vehicles with tight clearances that can't use snow chains
• Embedded steel claws give outstanding traction on ice
• Won't damage your expensive tires and wheels - no steel contacts your tire or wheel
• At one-third the weight, they're much easier to handle than chains
• Durable rubber composite design has been proven for over 180 miles on dry pavement

You forgot one more point in your advertisement, er I mean story.
Probably not legal on public roads in the, snow ridden, state that I live in.

If you go to the web site link provided, there is a section on state laws.

Interesting. At Twice the cost of Auto Socks, I wonder if these work better?

The low profile makes them applicable to more cars, like Subarus (which do not have clearance for chains).
Someone's gotta do a comparison test with these and Z-chains.
