Step 2:

GoTreads Features
Self Aligning
The arched grooves help pull GoTreads into the center of travel. This keeps the traction in the middle of your tire where it provides the greatest aid.
Self Feeding
The first two sections are grooved on one side and smooth on the other. This allows the tire to grip the top while the bottom slides along the ground and under the tire. No more digging to wedge a solid board under your tire!
Opposing Grip
GoTreads feature opposing grooves across the entire surface. Top and bottom. This grabs your tire and the ground in opposite directions creating optimal traction. GoTreads utilize the full surface area on both sides of the traction board for grip.
Designed to Flex
The patented design of GoTreads combined with our polymer formulation allows them to flex lengthwise and conform to a tire even down to -35 F (-37 C).
Modular / Expandable
GoTreads feature interchangeable parts allowing for easy, custom configurations and lengths. Mix and match to create the perfect traction tool for your specific needs.
Multi-Use
GoTreads can double as vehicle levelers. Each panel offers 1″ of leveling. Simply fold / unfold to the desired height and drive on up. Great for roof top tents, camping trailers, and RVs. Rated for 50,000 lbs.
Terrain Following
The articulating design of GoTreads allows them to slide into tight spaces other, rigid traction boards won’t fit without extensive digging. This design also prevents your traction device from slamming against the vehicle.
Extreme Duty
The latest iteration of GoTreads were designed for military and fleet use. They are engineered to sustain weights of up to 50,000 pounds (although many have pushed the boundaries well past that).
Compact & Portable
A standard pair of GoTreads are incredibly compact and easy to move from vehicle to vehicle. We even offer an optional storage bag for ultimate portability. No fiddling with crazy roof rack mounting systems to carry a traction device with you wherever you go.
Available in Two Lengths
Recommended Sizing by Vehicle
The weight rating for GoTreads XL and the GoTreads Standard is the same. Sizing is determined by optimal length. Larger vehicles typically means larger diameter tires. Either version of GoTreads is interchangeable across all vehicle sizes as far as weigh rating is concerned.

Great for rooftop tents, camping trailers, or RVs.
