I have very good tires but once every 2 years it snows way too much and on a 15% climb before reaching home I use the socks for those rare occasions and it is very impressive! Every time I put them on, I always tell myself ... It can't work but it always does !
Yay! Yay! Thank you so much for this video! I have a Smart car and just moved to a place with heavy wet snow, a sloped driveway, and a hilly gravel road (chains don't fit on a Smart). I thought I was going to have to trade my Smart for a 4-wd but now I know the Autosock works for Smart and I'll get some!!! So happy:)
Rebecca Cares you're going to get out everytime you get home and put those on? No just trade that crap in driving smart car in snow roads is not smart at all get stuck.
Finally, something attachable instead of getting new tires every few months! Now I can get a smart car when I’m older without spending like 400 dollars just to drive in the winter.
In the winter I have found adding weight really helps. In my truck i lined the bed with plastic and added water (about 4") and let freeze. Another thing that helped was to lay 2 50# bags of rock salt to the passenger floorboards. Handled like a boss after that.
To switch off ESP you need to both of the little triangular buttons on either side of the speedo and turn on the ignition from 0-1 not to start the ignition. after a bout 10 seconds the abs light should flash. The routine is in the manual or video here: ruclips.net/video/i8juyZ5DO5I/видео.html
@@MykpCoUk Great! did not know that. ESP in snow is fun (full throttle --> whiggling tale), but not if you can't get away when parked in a lot of snow.
Would you buy another Smart ??? I live in snow country Canada and was looking for an electric Smart, but have no idea how it handles in the city on the road and in snowstorm.
If it were possible to retro fit all the new tech from present model especially the european spec brabus into the 450 1998 to mid 2007 body shell then hell yes i would buy another one... but hate the shape of new ones.. electric smart..cant help you...pro and cons..
MITJA KOŽELJ nope fuckface I have a 4wd I bet this douche pulls a trailer too hahaha. There is a time and place for those shit boxes the snow ain’t it. So you and your boyfriend go back to giving each other road head in your smart car you fucking genius
The round ones at the rear...did not fully understand your question...however smart cars where mainly fitted with yokohamas on the brabus models ...dont know about other model since i only owned a 450 brabus .. :)
Hey mate i have a question. My smart 450, when im driving in the snow and it stuck, when i give gas the wheels start spinning and suddenly the antispin system it cuts the throttle. I saw your video and when you throttle your spinning wheels continue spinning and does not stop. How you did this???
@@sinisasavicns sve je bilo uključeno, gume nove, ali sam malo testirao kako se može dif regulirat kočnicom. Neki su mi rekli kad smart kopa malo zategni ručnu pa dif brebaci snagu na dugi kotač. Tako da ne, sve je bilo uključeno jer nisam vadio ništa. To bi bila 100 smrt na cesti 😊
why did the vw aircooled bug go thru the snow so easily and the smart doesnt? i have owned both , but, the smart lives in warm weather so never has seen snow. the bugs and things i owned lived in cold weather and could go when all other cars could not (unless 4x4)......i would think the smart would duplicate the vw bug....seemingly not
Bug is a legend. It was perfect for any road. Smart is smart for city and short trips (smart people 😁) best City car ever! Auto sock for ice on road is realy the best and fast solution for this car. For any car! I am not getting any money for this but i love inteligent and old solutions for grip on ice and snow. Happy 2020. Crazy number right?
@@TheMitjakozelj oh i agree the sock is great for my smart if i had snow. i have a 39 kubelwagen too, and it is just like a bug or thing and chugs thru the sand or snow like nobodies problem. i just wondered why they both being rear engine cars dont do the same with snow.....as the bug, thing kubelwagen do i have owned more bugs since the 60s than any other car. this is my first smart. i was surprised it needed any help, like chains or a sock. love the sock, so easy to put on. - i remember the vw ad '' how does the snow plow driver get to his snow plow''? i just figured the smart would be similar
@@Mr00934 But Smart is so light and i think it has no traction becouse of that. And rear tires are to wide. I think with lim. Slip diff. Smart car could be the best.
@@TheMitjakozelj i guess, but, vw's are light...so must be the differential? we used to lift vw's up and put them on the curb in hs. at least one end we did. might have been the front. lol. anyway, lovem both
Its a car bro not a jeep...it has esp limited slip diff.. unfortunatly early models of the smart you could not turn off the esp allowing wheel to spin to gain traction.. the cpu used to cut the power to driven wheel... works grat in summer and rain condition..snow used to over power the system to the point you remain stuck..later models the 451 and 452 and the roadsters all had esp traction control off buttons. The 450 did not.
It has esp..unfortunatly with the smart in that model the 450 1998 to 2007...it does not allow the wheels to spin to gain traction it cuts the power to the wheel that spinning..works great in dry and wet weather unfortunatly it gets over overpowered by snow and you simply can get the smart to move..on the roadster and later 451 smart you have a esp diactivation button which allows wheels to spin and gain traction.. there was a plug you could buy which plugs into diagnostic terminal which did the same thing but it also diactivated the abs and lateral g force sensors.. only designed to get you moving and not to drive with.. these sniw sock were a solution.. wish i had them in 2010 when snow hit europe my smart 450 brabus was a fun crazy car to drive but when the first snow came.. complete shite.. bought a jimny next year.. kept the brabus for summer use after that..
I dont have Amy problems with my smartcar in the show. Just dont give full trotthle like the man in this vid does. And its funny that hè also does not hammer the gas with the socks on 🤣
Hi . I am that man 😁. I did it slow and fast and... check my odher videos. This one was 99y and traction controll is on . It just did what it did, but under snow was ice infact
@@jeremy9612 do a nicer video than me bro. I did this just to post something .I have a lot of Autosock testing behind me and i am 100% sure it works. For rear whele powered cars the best. Supercars includded
Smart has semi auto box and drive by wire ie electronic accelerator...its actually hard to feather throttle control unlike older cable control... while it does not have creap mode like full auto car it needs to spin engine up to engagge clutch... so when the wheels start to spin the esp takes the power off the spining wheel..smart 450 models 1998 to mid 2007 did not have diactivatble sorry incorrect spelling...esp traction control unlike the roadsters and later models of the 451.452 of today..
Thats fine if your not.. this video is for those who are and to help those with the 450 1998 to mid 2007 year model in snow condition... noted your opinion and its just an opinion ..
Hi Riky. Autosock is so small you can have it under seat🙂. When snow or ice on road and winter tires dont work any more it is so fast to putt them on! No one will tell me i cant save my family and my car from danger on the road. Just saying

i did that one time with my Mercedes C class. it worked well but then i had to instal Autosock...
Smart car + ESP OFF + snow = lots of fun

ESP jeste iskljucen jer se Smart sa ESP ne ponasa ovak. Mozda nije ispravan a moze se iskljuciti vadjenjem osiguraca.

Lock the Diffs Bro!
can you imagine smart cars with diflocks XD, how would it turn
+Fruktsjimpanse Its rear wheel drive. It would turn like it is now. Rear wheel drive. Look at the left rear wheel spin
+Fruktsjimpanse If it was 4x4 it can still have locks and turn. Its just locks mean just that the wheels turn together
Cant lock difs, bit i can put in ARB lockers lol

Sin duda el Smart es el rey de los microcar
Anybody else notice the second gear start after putting on the sox?
nop.. but the best performance is with autom. transmition..
You can't start driving in second gear in one of these. The transmission won't let you.

I wonder if that's caused by the ABS it's such a smart system that it lock the front tires
Its 80-20 or 70-30 ratio frontand rear braking so your car does that 2. I was aplaying brake trying to trick diff but no sekses

maybe if you be more slow on gas pedal...avoid spinning
