Checking Clearance with your hand is very important.

Once you study this webpage and if you're still unsure about your vehicle clearance, please contact us for assistance.

Note* It is impossible for us to verify the wheel clearance of every make and model vehicle ever manufactured with various wheel / tire optional packages. Check Clearance! For our product size / model to fit your particular vehicle: IMPORTANT~ Before You Buy, Check Vehicle Clearance! It is the buyer's responsibility to check vehicle clearance prior to purchase. We are happy to talk you through this requirement. (Sorry, but we are not there to do this for you. :-)

Check your vehicle with the palm of your *man-size hand completely around the Inside of the Tire.

*Man-sized hands vary in dimensions
Typically, a man's hand measures approx 3/4"-1" at the knuckle and 7/8"-1-1/4" at the most extreme hand thickness

Check your vehicle with the palm of your *man-size hand completely around the Inside of the Tire.
The most common obstructions are... Strut towers Brake Lines Springs Inner wheel-well GoClaws Fasteners "Links" are 7/8" thick once installed, therefore you must have approx 1" to clear obstructions. SnoClaws Links are 5/8" thick (inner latch) once installed, therefore much better suited for tight inner fender clearance requirements. Check by Hand!

If you study this webpage and are still unsure about your vehicle clearance, please contact us for assistance. This will help eliminate any confusion, ill-feelings and future frustration experienced by both buyer and seller.

IMPORTANT~ Before You Buy, Check Vehicle Clearance!
It is the buyer's responsibility to check vehicle clearance prior to purchase.

IMPORTANT* It is impossible for us to verify the wheel clearance of every make and model vehicle ever manufactured with various wheel / tire optional packages.

Do You have Enough Space?

Must check your vehicle by running the palm of your *man-size hand completely around the Inside of the Tire.
Note- See lower inside yellow dot in picture above for the inspection area.

If the back of your hand clears all obstructions as you rub your hand completely around the inside of the tire, you may use either SnoClaws or GoClaws!

If the back of your hand hits anything, you probably cannot use any FlexTrax GoClaws models.

If your knuckles hit, you may not use SnoClaws models.

*A female can also use thick leather gloves to perform clearance check

Our Size Finder above lets you determine which size you need to fit your tire.
However, you also need to determine if it will fit your vehicle. 
For proper fit without interference, your vehicle will need approx 1 inch (25mm)
See Class "U" clearance between the tire and the vehicle to use GoClaws.

The most common obstructions are...
Strut towers

Brake Lines

Springs

Inner wheelwell

Due to limited clearance, we do NOT recommend any of the GoClaws models for small front wheel drive vehicles. However, we are launching a new SnoClaws "T" series in 2016 Season, which complies with *SAE and will enable the use of our

SnoClaws series on these vehicles with as little as .59” SAE Class "S" Clearance (See Below chart).

Metal Tire Chains have Remained virtually the same Design for over 100 Years! Chains and cables are not resilient, will not "FLEX" with the applied loads, and cannot rebound to their original shape or mounting configuration once they are exposed to the inherent characteristics and dynamic loads of a tire. Considering all the Above Facts, One could not expect rigidly affixed Steel Tire Chains / Cables to remain mounted to very resilient and dynamic tires while in motion. (See- Technical Sheet for more Information.)

At the age of 58, Flex-Trax was founded by the inventor of the company’s technology, Tony Bright, to provide consumers with an advanced traction system. This technology represents a significant improvement over historical traction devices such as tire chains, snow tires, etc... The company’s principal product is “GoClaws”, a unique injection-molded, high strength and high durability polyurethane assembly. GoClaws install easily over tires, even if the vehicle is already stuck. This revolutionary product is cost-competitive and user/vehicle friendly. It provides a smoother ride, longer life through improved abrasion resistance and less damage to both tires and roadways.

Mud / Snow tires are expensive, with marginal performance and used only a few months out of the year. Snow Chains have Remained virtually the same Design for over 100 Years! These Out-Dated Snow chains can be cumbersome to install, Damage your nice vehicle, and will rust between seasons. So, why does anyone buy these things? Obviously, Due to the Lack of Anything Better... Until Now!

Muddin professional review20160702 21181 ijot8v 960x960
I am a qualified instructor and specialize in training drivers to drive safely in all off-road conditions. The following is a report of my findings following a day of trailing the GoClaws. This trailing was carried out with Paul Treverton and Ed Dwyer. ROCKS ON STEEP HILL CLIMB WITH MUD, CLAY, SHALE AND ROCK LEDGES. Racking the steering, the GoClaws climbed over the tyre wall onto the centre of the tread (the grey joining strap). The GoClaws did not self-centre under this application. This is an extreme condition but, if you want the best product, you need to test it under these conditions. VERY STEEP ASCENTS AND DESCENTS COVERED WITH SLIPPERY CLAY, DEEP RUTS, SHALE AND FIVE FOOT WASH OVERS. The GoClaws performed very well in this condition. The sharp square edges of the GoClaws increased the pound per square inch on the slippery surface giving it very good traction to continue to drive. DEEP CLAY MUD We backed into a mud hole and stopped. We let the vehicle settle into the mud, and then drove out without any wheel spin. The GoClaws performed brilliantly five to six times. By this time the mud was extra loose. If the GoClaws had not been fitted, traction would have been lost after the drive in... let alone on the sixth try. After we drove out, there was no problem slipping on the tyres by the pads of the GoClaws. Steve McWiggan Sure-Trac Off-Road Driving Training Victoria, Australia

A few things relating to AWD Vehicles... I have been driving front wheel drive cars, 4 wheel drive and all wheel drive cars and trucks for the last 30 years. Are 4-wheel drive and all wheel drive vehicles better in the snow? Yes. Is it a big difference? Yes! Those who say there isn't a difference or it is very minor have either never driven such a vehicle before in REAL snow, or they are intentionally knocking them for some unknown reason. They will get you going safer driving straight, and are also better around corners.. period! There is simply no comparison between the two, and simple logic would explain why. I live in northern Canada where we get snow, sometimes very heavy snow for the majority of the year. 80% of the vehicles here are either 4x4 or all wheel drive. Even the police here use all wheel drive SUVs almost exclusively, and they wouldn't do so if there was only a minor difference. The only people here who drive 2 wheel drive cars are those that don't have to travel far or don't travel during heavy snow. But.. with that said, 4 wheel drive WILL NOT help you stop any faster. All cars have 4 wheel braking and caution must always be used to come to a safe stop. If you are unable to get a 4 wheel or all wheel drive vehicle, your next best choice is a front wheel drive with good snow tires. If you drive a lot in deep snow I would recommend a new product called SnoClaws. http://www.flextrax.com They are a type of tire chain, except they are made of rubber so they are legal everywhere. You can put them on your tires in about 5 minutes and take them off in seconds when you don't need them. Hope this helps, jakeblues

Flex-Trax can be used on Dry Pavement, but only for short periods where pavement is either exposed due to scraping or melting by the sun. Unlike Tire chains and Auto Sock you may continue at safe speeds without damaging the traction system.

GoClaws is where it all started back in 1997! The unique dual locking pins slide into the opposing keyhole slots which provides for a secure positive locking mechanism, and very durable trax assembly that will last you many years if properly washed, rinsed and dried, then kept in the included convenient storage bag.
Goclaws plow20160622 6902 16cnrn5 960x960
I purchased my GoClaws and my intentions were to use two sets (4 GoClaws) on my '87 Jeep Wrangler (photo attached) for snowplowing. I watched the online video that demonstrated the installation, and reviewed the instructions that accompanied the product. The GoClaws performed beyond my expectations! I plow two, or three driveways that consist of crushed stone, 200 - 800 feet long, all with steep inclines. After a few uses, the GoClaws loosened slightly, but were easily tightened up with the tool provided. They haven't slipped or loosened since. I'm nearing the end of my second snowplowing season using GoClaws and would highly recommend them to anyone considering chains. When the season ends, I hose my off, allow them to air-dry, separate the sections, fold them up, and store them in the bags provided. They are extremely convenient. Thank you for a great product. I really got my money's worth. Very Cordially, Robert Smutek

This is to let you know that I purchased a set of the Go Claws online and they worked very well! The week before we had them, I tried to drive my 2004 Chevy Express 15 Passenger Van with rear wheel drive, and big winter studed tires up a mile long snowy mountain to get to Miracle Mountain Ranch. As we started up the first incline we came to a spinning stop, so I had to back down and park in the winter parking lot. The hill is curvy and extremely steep in some places. They have a winter parking lot at the foot of the hill because because only 4WD vehicles can travel it safely during the winter. The next week came and we were ready to try the hill again, this time we had the GoClaws on the rear tires. We drove the van right up the mountain with traction to spare. Now we have been elected to be a shuttle van for others who must park at the bottom. You should have heard the kids cheering with pride as we made it to the top of the hill, my oldest daughter was scared to death for us to try and drive up this hill, but when she saw we made it with no problems, she was smiling from ear to ear. We also live on a 2.5 mile long hill and sometimes that road can get extremely dangerous if a nasty snow storm hits during the weekend when they don't plow it. We thought long and hard about getting a $9,000 + four Wheel drive unit installed on the van by Quigley Motor Co. But it appears now that we only had to spend $235 and we now have a RWD 15 Passenger Van that will go anywhere in the winter, thanks to the GoClaws. Thanks, Steve Goettler

Flex-Trax Helps Prevent Skidding Sideways! Everyone has experienced that Out-of-Control feeling as the rear of the vehicle swings quickly to the side and you then struggle to regain control of this sideways skidding action. Flex-Trax self-cleaning chambers dig in and support the load in all directions. This enables the driver to maintain momentum in a straight line, which removes much of the stress associated with driving in adverse conditions.

"I ordered SnoClaws one week and used them the following week. Fresh snow was hiding slick Ice in Red River, NM which prevented two of us from climbing up a hill. This was our only way home. I put on my newly ordered SnoClaws and made it easily up the hill. I took my SnoClaws off and walked back to offer them to the SUV behind me but they had already slipped partially off the side of the Mt. and had to be pulled out. When I showed him the SnoClaw he ask what they were. I explained that’s what I just used to get me up the hill. They’re AWESOME!" Brian Johnson

"Just wanted to let you know that we purchased a set of SnoClaws, and we have found it to be an outstanding item. We manage several large timeshare properties here in Branson MO, and we needed something to allow one of our small 2wd trucks to get around in the snow. We wanted an alternative to traditional steel chains, since they can damage road and parking lot surfaces (we are very protective of our properties, everything must be 5 star!). We have used the SnoClaws in the last few snowstorms, (one of which was 10 inches in one day) and they have done a superb job getting us around to deliver equipment and ice melt in a timely manner. They are light and easy to handle, and I like the fact that they can be taken apart for repairs if they are ever needed. Thanks again for making a great product!"

Lever tool usage20160614 19337 12o9gb0 960x960
Lever tool is only required for installation and removal from the outside of the tire. Proper use of Lever Tool- Grip the bar with four fingers immediately below the ninety degree bend with thumb flat on top. This picture is used as illustration of hole insertion- Be sure to hold 90 degree bend of tool as thumb grip, as you keep the lever tool oriented perpendicular to the key-hole links during installation and removal, Tip 1.- Push down on link on top as you pry the links together. This significantly reduces the applied force required. Tip 2.- Tool insertion into keyholes- Whenever possible insert the tool behind the square nut. This makes it much easier to slide the linkage into appropriate hole as the link center-line of the hole spacing remain equal, and the pins can also be easily pulled out of the holes during removal.

Got a "Bright Idea of your Own? We can help you Go Down the Road to Success!

Back Ground Prior to diving into this huge undertaking, Tony had served as a Regional Expert in Commercial / Industrial Automated Conveyor and Hydraulic Systems. Local Factories would call him into their plant to solve any process and engineering issues, and he soon became known as the Local “Problem Solver.” As a direct result of this, many of Tony’s Innovations were implemented and operated successfully for over 20 years without any problems. During this time, and serving as an out-sourced contracted engineer, he was unable to patent any of these innovations and only received his fees from the clients upon completion of the process and / or systems. At this juncture of his life, Tony decided to create something for himself and reap the long- term financial reward from his efforts, and the Alternative to outdated Tire Chains seemed to be his calling. He first began the research and study of the inherent dynamics of chains mounted to tires. This to better understand how to best solve for the system flaws in effort to ultimately improve on their outdated design.
