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.

I jacked up my (yard) tractor and put the chains on a few days ago and
there wasn't even any snow ... but then its only task in the winter is
plowing the ice/snow off the gravel road so we can get to the (sometimes)
unplowed highway . Depending on the severity of the storm and how pressing
the need to go somewhere I might put the chains on the SUV too . Sometimes
it will take 3-4 days before the county gets out to plow our road ...
