[GabAlmighty]

Hmmm... Anyone who's seen me play lacrosse knows I could benefit from this.

"Spray on, wait 2-3 minutes and drive off with 300% better traction"

[slammer111]

I'm sure it works, but I'd imagine it's something you'd pretty much have to spray on everyday.

[boatcaptain]

so winter tires plus that spray can!means u hv 400% more traction?!

hahahaha i used to use hair spray :D

you still play? jrs? seniors? what team?

[Supafly]

I can only imagine that this can only help modestly.....dont toss out your snow tires.
Theres a lot of varibles that may affect adhesion with this product...i suggest you not drive in the snow if you do not have snow tires.

[Greenstoner]

winter tire + spray = super grip then ?

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

haha you need to whip out the chains ;)

[jeffwilliams17]

Yea, definitely not a substitute for winter tires. Says will last 50 miles. So spray on in the am, drive to work n back. Then re-spray the next day. I guess if it helps even a little it would be worth it.

[thumper]

someone correct me if i'm wrong, but consumer reports tested something similar and it didn't do that well. basically, if you think this will turn your summers/all seasons into studded snow tires, you will be sadly mistaken.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

but it might turn ur car with snow tires into ultimate driving machine?
:rofl:

300% improvement on zero traction is still zero traction! :p

Helping tires get a grip


The claims
Tyre Grip creates a "better grip on snow, ice, and slush" by providing "an adhesive surface that grips the roads." You spray it on tires, and it's supposed to work for up to 50 miles per application. We bought a can for $24.95 (later we saw a newer, blue can for $19.95). A second product, AutoSock, is a cloth and mesh cover you slip over a tire and wheel. It "clings to snow and ice, increasing vehicle traction," and is designed to be used at speeds of 30 mph or less. We paid $99 plus shipping for a pair of AutoSocks. They come in different sizes, to fit most cars.

The checks
We sprayed Tyre Grip on the tire tread of a Honda Accord's front drive wheels, then did acceleration and braking tests on a snowy road in Vermont. We also drove up a small, snowy hill using the Accord's all-season tires alone, using Tyre Grip, then using AutoSock over the front wheels.

Bottom line
Don't toss your snow tires. Tyre Grip improved traction modestly during acceleration and braking, but any benefit waned after about one mile. On our hill, Tyre Grip improved starting traction slightly, but the Accord couldn't reach the top with or without the spray. With AutoSocks over the front tires, however, the car summitted many times. It could be a good tool to keep in your car just in case. The downside: AutoSocks are very cumbersome to slip over tires (expect to get dirty and wet), and they're meant to be used only on snow or ice and to be removed immediately when the road becomes clear.

[striderblade]

i had been looking for this to put in my trunk in case of a emergency. Even though i got my snow tires on. Having something like this is also nice. But i can't find any of them in the local canadian tires store. Anyone else know where they sell this locally?

I think I rather have salt or chains in my truck in case of an emergency, i suspect it needs to be sprayed on dry tires..

I've had a couple concussions, a broken wrist and my back is in rough shape. Definitely worth it though, its an awesome sport.

Box is way better than field.

anyone who buys this shit should not be allowed behind the wheel of a car.

I bet arash is going to have a change of mind and convert his 300zx superleggera into a STI with winter tires by using this spray and cardboard :troll:
