Default Vauxhall snow socks

Has anyone tried these yet?

I get up and down the hills easy, but for the missus it's not so easy. I was thinking of giving these a go:

What do you think?

Seen these advertised before, though not vauxhall packaged i assume they are made by the same company, look the same anyway.
The ones i read about not only said about the speed restriction, but also that they were a 'get you home' solution only. So probably only meant to get you out of the sh** rather than a replacement for winter tyres or snow chains.

My daughter used these on her cooper s last year from Aber Uni back home. Saved her a nightmare journey as other cars stuck getting up small hills. A life saver in my opinion - she was really glad I bought her a pair. Just poped them back in her boot today incase it really comes down again. Highly recommended from our experience.

We're getting these for our work vans, so we heating engineers can get to emergencies! Also getting some YakTrax things for our boots so we don't go **** over tit on slippery paths
