In the winter of 1994, Tony Bright was visiting an automotive dealership with a display featuring tire*chains. Twenty six years of engineering experience led him to ponder the following question: Why do*people buy these? They are difficult to install and they do not stay on. Once they fly off your tire they*get tangled in your brake lines, causing major damage to your vehicle and likely the highway system. He*found the only logical conclusion must be that people buy tire chains due to the lack of a better and*safer option. With that Flex Trax™ was conceived.
GoClaws™, an advanced engineered tire traction system for use in mud, sand, snow and ice, was the*ultimate solution. This technology, a unique injection-molded, high-strength and high-durability*polyurethane assembly, represents a significant improvement over historical traction devices such as*tire chains, snow tires and studded tires as well as autosocks. Positive-Locking Design- Once installed, it*is impossible for the GoClaws™ bolts and screws to ever come loose! Dual locking pins cannot disengage*once pulled into the opposing keyhole slots. These improvements provide a smoother ride and add*longer life through improved abrasion resistance and less damage to tires. They work great for many*demanding applications.
SnoClaws™, the ratchet fastening system is the only difference between GoClaws™ and SnoClaws™. Due*to new model vehicles having smaller clearance, SnoClaws™ works well with every tire size from garden*tractor for plowing driveways up to large SUV / Truck size tires for highway use. It does require that the*product be test fit and adjusted to the exact dimensions of your tire. It is essential that the links be*custom-fit, especially on smaller tires on smaller vehicles. If not, it is possible that excessively long straps*may interfere with the undercarriage during use and cause damage to SnoClaws™.
These innovations also eliminate road damage, exceed SAE clearance requirements for each vehicle*class, and meet the stricter laws enforced by many federal, state and local transportation departments*and authorities. As an example, Canada has made studded tires and tire chains illegal for use in most*regions, while giving full approval to our traction systems. GoClaws™ and SnoClaws™ are available in*sizes for passenger vehicles to those required for large trucks and tractor trailers. Our products are*unique, built to last innovations that can be installed easily over tires without moving or jacking even if*the vehicle is already stuck!
As with any other traction device, drivers should always exercise caution and be observant of adverse*driving conditions. The uses of these products are not a substitute for safe driving or proper judgment*by the vehicle driver. Use common sense!!
The mission of FlexTrax™ is to change the way drivers view and deal with the impact of adverse weather*conditions. Reducing stress and driver anxiety while improving travel safety in difficult traction*situations. FlexTrax™ will continue to improve and enhance its product technology through research and*development and by incorporating market use feedback. This progressive thinking will allow them to*generate a constantly improving, high quality, and timesaving user-friendly traction device.
