Question 1

Do i need 2 set of these for all 4 wheels or a single set is more than enough?

Accepted Answer

Most of us only use one set as you usually don't have all four wheels stuck at once, and it's more effective to combine with recovery from another vehicle (snatch strap, winch). But I would recommend two sets if you often go out alone, especially in extreme conditions. Otherwise I'd say one set is fine.

Question 2

What makes MaxTrax twice as good as TRED's since they cost twice as much?   They're both made in Austrailia .

Accepted Answer

Our product is made of UV stabilized, flexible, super tough engineering-grade reinforced nylon.  Since MAXTRAX has been discovered they are widely available in over 30 countries with customers including mining, energy and exploration companies, government agencies, 4WD trainers, and tour operators, rural fire services, State Emergency Service branches, off road rally drivers, the United Nations, United States Military and Australian Military units.In November 2010, the new MAXTRAX MKll won 2 Global Media Awards for Best New Product at the 2010 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, NV, USA.

Question 3

Reviews of another brand repeatedly warns of the risks of melting the points should you spin the tires at all.  Is there a similar concern with these?

Accepted Answer

The concern is spinning your tires.   The points are actually designed to melt as to not damage the tire.  I heard this from a maxtraxx rep at an expo.

Question 4

Can these be flipped over and used to help level your truck/camper? Could you stack them for extra height?

Accepted Answer

When using them to level a vehicle, we recommend placing them right side up (teeth up as if you were using them to recover a vehicle). Stacking them together is advised to add more support and rigidity.
