You are assuming that the vehicle can actually move forward. That's my point.
If the tire is spinning in place on ice, the vehicle may not move. Again,
hopefully the sock will stay on the tire when the tire rotates that 1/4 to 1/2
turn so that the rest of the sock can be slipped over the rest of the tire.


You can always jack the tire up. I've never used snow socks but
sometimes that the fastest way to get a conventional chain mounted
properly.

Fortunately this state allows studs and they've worked well for me. I've
hung enough iron in my life and don't need any more practice.
