Common uses

Buyers use car tie-down straps for car haulers, rollbacks and wreckers, securing vehicles by the tires or axles and roadside towing and vehicle recovery. Secure vehicles at four points and strap the tires or axles, not body panels, so the suspension can move without loosening the tie-down.

How to choose car tie-down straps

Match the strap or net to your tire size and the anchor fittings on your car hauler — flat hooks, snap hooks, J-hooks or E-track.

Working load limits in this section run from 500 lbs to 22,000 lbs. Use the working load limit — never the breaking strength — when you plan a load.

Three steps to the right choice

1. Strap tires, not bodywork. Wheel nets and tire straps keep tension as the suspension moves.
2. Choose fittings for your deck. Flat hooks, snap hooks, J-hooks and e-track ends suit different anchor points.
3. Use the right strap for recovery. Recovery straps stretch to absorb energy; tow straps do not.
