GoTreads are a patented automotive device designed to provide traction to a vehicle’s drive tires when stuck in snow, mud, or sand. They are a great emergency tire traction aid when tire chains are not available.

GoTreads are made of flexible, high strength polypropylene copolymer. When folded, they are small enough to be stored under the car seat. When extended, they are over 40 inches long. This provides a firm base on top of the snow or mud to allow your tires to gain enough traction to pull out.

GoTreads were designed for simplicity. They can be put in position in front of the drive tires in mere seconds. No tools, no assembly, and no attaching to the tire are required. At 2.5 pounds, you won’t throw your back out trying to lift them. Also, the smooth finish allows the snow and mud to be shaken off for easy cleaning.

To use Go Treads, put the vehicle in park and set the emergency brake. Unfold Go Treads and lay it in front of the tire that is stuck. Release the emergency brake, put the vehicle in gear, and slowly accerlerate. This allows the Go Treads to be pulled underneath the drive tire, providing traction. Drive out and to a safe place before stopping to retrieve your GoTreads.


Features

  • Durable, made of high strength, high impact polypropylene copolymer.
  • Lightweight, each weighing less then 3 pounds.
  • Over 40″ inches long when fully extended.
  • Compact after folding for easy storage under automobile seat.

AutoSock HP 735 is a lightweight, fabric-based, temporary traction aid for cars and trucks. This high-technology tire covering uses specially patterned fibers that optimize grip on slick surfaces. Through its weaving pattern and thousands of small fibers, AutoSock clings to snow and ice, increasing vehicle traction and improving safety.

When using AutoSock, you won’t be bothered by the rattles and bumpy ride that comes with using tire chains. You get to enjoy a smooth ride even at speeds up to 30 mph. This makes it a great alternative to using conventional tire chains.

AutoSock is easy to install. Just a few simple steps and you are driving safely in the snow. AutoSock automatically self-centers when you begin driving. When you get back on snow-free roads, slip it back into the included storage bag until you need it again. Autosock can also be machine-washed.

Although AutoSock HP 735 is a great tire traction aid for winter driving, it is not meant for severe snow conditions. The High Performance AutoSock accommodates performance tire sizes (sports cars, SUVs, and luxury cars). It is also safe on aftermarket wheels and can be used with electronic traction control systems and ABS. For standard tires, try AutoSock Standard.

  • Lightweight, easy-to-store, reusable, and machine washable.
