While it's critical to make sure your tires have adequate traction and tread depth, if your tires don't meet the requirements of Colorado’s Passenger Traction Law, the AutoSock is a great option that does comply with that law. The AutoSock is an easy-to-use cover designed to help vehicles get traction on snow and ice. Learn more!
