I had some socks last year, they were a pain to fit on a lowered car, my fore arms wouldn't fit in the archs to fit them so I had to jack it up slightly.
Then the got shreaded in 5 mins trying to get off the steep drive, don't think they had much more grip than the tyres and with a lack of lsd too and I spent 30 mins cutting them off the drive shafts that they were wrapped round.
This year I bought another steal spare so now I have 2 in the boot with cheap 15" snow tyres on that I can chuck on the front if things get bad £60 off ebay.
