ATD available for wide base single tractor drive, trailer tires

AutoSock AS, the provider of an Alternative Traction Device (ATD) for passenger and commercial vehicles, announced its product lines covers several wide base single tires. The textile cover ATD is available from McGee Company, the U.S. distributor of AutoSock products for Class 3-8 medium- and heavy-duty trucks.

AutoSock models for wide base single tires include the following:

• AL111— 445/50R22.5
• AL111— 455/50R22.5
• AL111— 395/80R20
• AL114— 455/55R22.5

“AutoSock is a proven alternative to chains,” said Chuck Abourezk, sales manager at McGee Company. “It uses high-performance fibers and a specially designed surface pattern to maximize the total contact area exposed to dry friction on snow and ice covered roads. Unlike tire chains, AutoSock does not damage a vehicle’s fenders and exposed brake lines, and it is fully compatible with ABS and traction control systems.”
