Just had a look on Ebay for Snow Socks anyone recommend any makes & do you have to purchase 2 or 4 ??

Just for the drive wheels I believe. I just bought a new pair off Ebay which suited my wheel size. It was a few years ago now and I haven't used them yet. I also bought a set of these as well which another member mentioned the other year...

12 EMERGENCY CAR TYRE GRIP STRAPS HELPER FOR SNOW MUD WHEEL TRACTION ANTI SLIP | eBay

A set of TWELVE tyre traction ties for when your vehicle needs help in snowy or muddy conditions. Easy to install, even when your vehicle is stuck in the snow/mud. Manufactured from durable Polyamide (PA66) for strength.

www.ebay.co.uk

...but shop around as mine were much cheaper (and orange!). I haven't used them yet either but they are very lightweight so threw a couple of packs into a storage area in the MH just in case.

Been looking on eBay not many that fit my tyre size 225/75/16

 

[GMJ]

There are loads on there such as...

Husky Snow Socks (Like Chains) to fit tyre size 225/75/16 ( 225/75R16 ) XXL | eBay

Snow socks work in a way that they are automatically and perfectly centered on the tyre after a very short period of use. A higher adherence between the inside surface of the textile and the tyre, so as to avoid any slippage between sheath and wheel.

...but shop around as you may well get them cheaper.

Even those don't seem to have my size according to the Chart it does say on the listing though

 

[GMJ]

The heading says 225/75R16 though?

Failing that I put snow socks 225/75 into Ebay and it threw up a list of options.

Just be aware that the ties, while possibly useful, do not meet the French legal requirement (3PMSF tyres on all wheels or metal chains or textile socks on at least the driving wheels).

I assumed that you were aware, but wasn't sure about @Burge.
