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.

Arched Strength

This incredibly strong shape is utilized in GoTreads not only for traction but also for re-structuring the ground you are stuck in. Forming a series of arches in the surface of the ground creates a stronger gripping surface.

Rigid Lattice

The opposing groove pattern of GoTreads creates an incredibly strong lattice structure. This makes them extremely rigid side to side while still allowing flex lengthwise.

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.

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 (per axle).

Compact & Portable

Two pairs of XL GoTreads are incredibly compact and easy to stow. We even offer an optional storage bag for ultimate portability. No fiddling with annoying mounting systems is needed. Just toss them in and go.

Multiple Configurations

For the trucking industry, we offer GoTreads as two pairs (a total of 4 tools). For most situations, place GoTreads under each tire across the axle. Two on each side. This will provide the greatest amount of surface area for grip. If you need a longer run of traction, place the GoTreads end to end. NOTE: When running GoTreads end to end, make sure the arched grooves are all facing the same way.
