"We live at about 9K feet, west of Colorado Springs, CO. A couple of years ago I was on-line, researching alternatives to chains for my 35x12.5x15. Decided on, and purchased two sets of the GoClaws.
Its January now and we’ve have several moderate snow falls. Over the weekend I took my oldest daughter on what was supposed to be a brief, uneventfully 4 wheel drive outing. We went on a familiar moderate trail not far from where I live. I was surprised at how much snow was still on the ground in areas, it was the wet, heavy kind of snow that fills the lugs on your tires and renders them almost useless. We hadn’t gone far before we got stuck. I was able to shovel enough snow, to retreat. Undaunted, we went around that obstacle and continued on. Soon we decided that there was enough snow in areas to take a short loop back and head for home.
That when we got stuck a second time. The difference being, there was no way to dig out. In front of us was about 100 yards of incline trail. The left wheels were in about 8 to 10 inches of wet snow and the right side was in about a foot and a half. Shoveling it would have meant a stroke.
I have carried my GoClaws in the truck every winter; this would be the first time I needed to use them. I had practiced the installation when I first got them on dry, flat ground – it went just like the video.
But now I had to first dig out each wheel to correctly install the GoClaws. Back in the truck my daughter and I look at each other, we both knew this is our only chance to get out.
In low gear, we give it the gas, and all four tires were moving forward. The GoClaws were digging in, and they don’t stop digging until we had traversed the snow field. At that point it was a tossup whether we we’re more impressed or just grateful that they had worked so well.
Tire chains would have failed us, that’s why I purchased the GoClaws. Anticipating that some day, I would need something more aggressive to help get me out, and the GoClaws delivered!
Got to love it when a plan comes together."

"Flex Trax rubber chains prove to last longer, affix easier, do no damage to vehicles and roads...."
Justification : Postal Carriers need an effective, safe and economical way to deliver mail during snow and ice events in our convergent zone, and our City simply does not clear streets. Our inability to deliver without chains has been evidenced in prior years by vehicle collisions, vehicle abandonment, enormous towing fees and deliveries not made. Flex Trax rubber chains prove to last longer, affix easier, do no damage to vehicles and roads and help keep our employees and customers safer by preventing collisions.
They (GoClaws) appear to work best on FFV's.

OPT (Office of Pupil Transportation) researched potential snow chains to be used for school buses. The SnoClaw product was tested and determined to be the only product that meets the size specifications of school bus wheels (Type A and Type C), satisfies the need for temporary, quick installation, and provides the level of performance we expect to achieve when transporting NYC school children. Considering the bus vendor will be responsible to perform the installation, it’s important the equipment could be easily installed.
"Finally got an opportunity to use our Flex Trax on a Trolley Bus - dual wheels on the rear. Started snowing halfway through a 6 hour gig. Driver stopped and put 'em on. First time using them. Driver said the (positive) difference was immediately noticeable. 6" of new snow in a few hours - didn't faze the Trolley after the Flex Trax units were put on. No more fears with Flex Trax. This will open up opportunities for winter use and winter revenue in the Trolley business... Well worth the money!"
