From November 1 to March 31, the Mountain Law requires winter equipment in the affected municipalities of 34 departments (the Alps, Pyrenees, Massif Central, Jura, Vosges, and Corsica), marked by B58/B59 signs. The requirement applies even if it is not snowing.

To comply, you have two options: fit 4 3PMSF winter tires, or simply keep a pair of snow socks in your trunk, ready to equip 2 drive wheels.

Compliant with the EN 16662-1 standard, Musher snow socks bring you into compliance immediately, on all your vehicles and without changing your tires.

Without equipment: €135 fine and possible vehicle immobilization

In winter, driving on snow and ice is unavoidable, whether during daily journeys or when traveling to the mountains. To protect yourself against the dangers of a road tested by bad weather, follow these steps when approaching a snowy or icy road to equip your car with Musher over-tires in just a few minutes:

1. If you are on the road, stop your vehicle at a nearby safety area.
2. Take your 2 extra tires, which will be mounted on the drive wheels (front wheels for traction vehicles, rear wheels for propulsion vehicles)
3. Place the over tire on the top of the wheel, starting from the rear.
4. Get back behind the wheel and move the vehicle forward half a turn of the wheel.
5. Mount the second half of the over-tire onto the top of the wheel.
6. Drive for 100 meters to check the correct fit of the over-tires on your wheels.
7. Maintain a maximum driving speed of 50 km/h.
8. Ride peacefully on snow, ice and even dry asphalt without risk of tearing for 150 km!

To prevent the dangers associated with driving on snow or ice, the Mountain Law indicates the obligation to be equipped with approved snow chains or snow socks on certain roads. On the one hand, the tedious installation and discomfort of snow chains, and on the other, the snow socks which tear on contact with the slightest portion of dry bitumen, between two passes or under a tunnel. Usually, motorists must therefore systematically wait until the last moment to install their equipment and find themselves in safety areas saturated with other drivers in the same situation.
Musher snow socks are based on patented technology to allow you to ride up to 150 km in the dry, then continue with complete peace of mind on snowy and icy roads! In the Musher pack, you will find all the necessary accessories (laying mat, pair of reusable gloves, protective sleeves, storage bag) to mount and dismount your over-tyres in just 5 minutes. No need to wait until the last minute to equip yourself! Enjoy your winter journeys without constraints and in complete safety.
