Spikes-Spider 17.321 C3 Compact Series Winter Traction Aid - Set of 2

Spikes-Spider 17.321 C3 Compact Series Winter Traction Aid - Set of 2 Review



Spikes-Spider 17.321 C3 Compact Series Winter Traction Aid - Set of 2 Feature

  • Convenient, clean alternative to snow chains and studded tires
  • Designed for vehicles with standard sized tires driving in less the 6" of snow on standard grades and inclines

  • Traction elements can be installed or removed by anyone in any road condition in minutes
  • For use with FWD, RWD, AWD cars, minivans, small SUVs and small pickups with tire widths of 235 mm or less
Spikes-Spider Compact traction device is excellent for use on ice and snow up to 5"-6" deep. Compact provides superior traction on ice. Used on moderate grades and slopes. The "Compact" style is the newest style of SPIKES-SPIDER. It has eight or nine (depending on the size) traction arms. Each arm has tungsten carbide studs embedded in the traction surface. The traction arms can be moved slightly to avoid the ground to put them on quickly and easily, once the steel hubs have been installed on two drive wheels. The arms fold down or can easily be removed from the center holding ring for storage, so they do not take up as much room in your vehicle as the Quick style. The Compact style traction ovals, that go around the tire have some adjustment-for adjustment ranges see the tables, Spider Sizes vs. Tire Sizes. Each size Compact style has a Small "S" and Large "L" adjustment using a cam that is easy to turn. Appropriate for use on moderate grades and slopes. Like the Quick, Sport and Alpine Pro, the Compact traction arms do not extend to the back portion of the tire, so they do not cause clearance problems on vehicles. They cover one-third to one-half of the outside surface of the tire tread, giving great coverage and traction.

The special Diamond grip pattern enables the tire chain to have more contact with the road surface, resulting in improved traction and skid control, while reducing vibration and noise. Vibration reduction is very important for maximum vehicle control and comfort on front wheel drive vehicles. BikeBatts "S" Class Diamond Grip tire chains are constructed from 12 MM square steel stock links for close clearance applications. Unlike tire chains made from round stock steel, the square corners on BikeBatts chain links provide gripping edges enabling the tire chains to grip into snow and ice. BikeBatts Diamond pattern tire chains incorporate a clam shell design enabling the chains to be installed without trying to drive your vehicle onto the chains, or laying on the ground. Designed and intended for On Road use only. Tires are manufactured to a 7% allowable deviation in dimensions for a given tire size. As a result if the tire chains can't be tightened to a snug fit it may be necessary to use add-on tire chain tensioners for some applications.

Portable Tow Truck (black)

Portable Tow Truck (black) Review



Portable Tow Truck (black) Feature

  • Provides emergency traction for your tires when tire chains are not available or cannot be used.
  • No installation required, making it easier and safer to use than tire chains and snow chains.
  • Works in mud, snow, ice, and sand. Works on FWD, RWD and 4WD vehicles.
  • Made of polypropylene, nearly indestructible and can be used over and over again.
  • Each set comes with 2 Portable Tow Truck traction aids. Lightweight and easy to store.
As the weather worsens and the snow piles up, driving becomes more and more dangerous. The roads become increasingly slippery due to snow and ice. Drivers need to use proper caution and be prepared for the treacherous conditions.

You should carry tire traction aids with you while driving. Traction aids are a great alternative to snow chains and tire chains. They are portable, durable, and easy to use. They require no installation and can be easily stored until you need them. Traction pads can be used when rock salt will not work. They can also be used when there is not enough snow on the road to warrant installing tire chains. Thus, they are a good compromise between de-icing rock salt and tire chains.

The Portable Tow Truck comes in a set of 2 traction pads. Made of Polypropylene, it is nearly indestructible and can be used over and over again. It works in mud, snow, ice, and sand. It can be used with many types of automobiles, from front wheel drive to rear wheel drive to all wheel drive.

The Portable Tow Truck is easy to use. Simply wedge The Portable Tow Truck under the pulling wheel (or wheels) and slowly drive the vehicle to a more suitable surface. Then store it in your trunk or behind the seat for future use.

The Portable Tow Truck traction aid will allow you to get back on the road again with very little time or money lost. With the average price of a tow truck call nearing a hundred bucks, just one use of The Portable Tow Truck will more than pay for itself.

If you use it once, you'll never travel without it.

Security Chain Company SZ468 Super Z8 8mm Commercial and Light Truck Tire Traction Chain - Set of 2

Security Chain Company SZ468 Super Z8 8mm Commercial and Light Truck Tire Traction Chain - Set of 2 Review



Security Chain Company SZ468 Super Z8 8mm Commercial and Light Truck Tire Traction Chain - Set of 2 Feature

  • Designed for large pickup, SUV, and small to medium-sized commercial truck tires with very limited operating clearance around the drive tires
  • Cable chain for SUV's and small to medium commercial vehicles under 20,000 pounds gross vehicle weight
  • Designed-in rubber tightener means there is no need to stop and retighten after installation
  • Better all-around traction performance than conventional tire chains or cables
  • Better compatibility with anti-lock brakes, traction control, all-wheel drive, and other electronically monitored control systems
The SCC Super Z8 SZ468 winter traction product offers superior performance for large pickup and SUV tire sizes, as well as small to medium-sized commercial trucks under 20,000 pounds (gross vehicle weight) with very limited operating clearance around the drive tires. Be ready for winter driving with an innovative solution that is a step beyond traditional tire chains.

New Design
Based on the "Z" family of products, the Super Z8 is designed for vehicles with restricted clearance around the drive tires. The Super Z8 requires only 8.2 millimeters (.32 inches) of sidewall clearance to operate, less than half the space required by most cable and tire chains.



The Super Z8 installs quickly and easily. View installation guide.


Be prepared for driving this winter with Super Z8 traction systems.
A diagonal crossmember pattern provides better outstanding traction and durability than conventional chain systems.

Easy to Install
A split outside cable with two fastening positions allows for easy installation without moving the vehicle, so there's no need to stop and retighten. The traction coils are manufactured from alloy steel to increase the lifespan of the product. The Super Z8 is also designed to prevent scratching of alloy or high performance tire rims.

Versatility
The Super Z8 is available to fit large pickup, SUV, and small to medium-sized commercial truck tire sizes. It offers a unique combination of performance and convenience features for every user, including a "designed-in" rubber tightener, better all-around traction performance than conventional tire chains or cables, and greater durability.

Designed for High Performance
The Super Z8 has better compatibility with anti-lock brakes, traction control, all-wheel drive, and other electronically monitored control systems so as not to interfere with the normal handling characteristics of your vehicle. The unique design also offers a low potential for damage to vehicle body and mechanical components, even when abused.

The Super Z8 SZ468 is designed for tires sizes from approximately 32x11.50-15LT up to 305 millimeters. Check the manufacturer's website for the exact product to fit your tire size. Also check your owner's manual for clearance specifications before installing winter traction products.

What's in the Box
Chains, plastic gloves, one pair of rubber tensioners, durable, re-usable nylon bag, and clear, illustrated step-by-step installation and removal instructions. Super Z6 was designed by SCC for cars, trucks, and SUV's with restricted clearance around the drive tires. Based on SCC's experience with other products in the "Z" family, Super Z6 has one very special quality: it will operate in less than half of the space required by most cable chains and tire chains. Super Z6 requires only 6mm (1/4") of sidewall clearance to operate. The diagonal pattern provides constant traction, aggressive starting, stopping, cornering and ensures compatibility on vehicles equipped with traction control and electronically monitored brake systems. Traction coils, made from alloy steel are more durable than conventional tire or cable chains. A split outside cable with two fastening positions allows for easy installation without moving the vehicle, and there's no need to stop and retighten. Most cars, trucks and SUV's manufactured since the late 80's will have special clearance requirements. Don't be fooled by the appearance of the tire positioning on your vehicle. Traction products not only have to fit the tire, but must also fit within the space provided around the tires. Most issues are hidden from view as they are behind the tire near braces, suspension parts, strut housings, splash guards and fuel and brake lines. More information should be located in the owner's manual under chains, traction devices, tires or similar heading. It is important to select a traction product that is compatible with the minimum class assigned to your vehicle. The class assigned to your vehicle is based on the original tire and wheel size shown in your owner's manual. Using a different size tire may affect the chain's ability to operate properly. Some owner's manuals state that certain tire sizes do not provide enough clearnace to accommmodate winter traction products. The fact is, many of these vehicles can use SCC's Super Z6. Trying to measure the nearest obstruction under your vehicle could prove tricky.
