I'm trying to decide which traction boards will best fit the budget without being pieces of crap that last for one or two uses. Anybody have experience with any of the following?
- Fiery Red
-- $83-$122, I don't get the difference in price between green and black, just for color?? (or the $122 black one for $80 at Walmart it looks like..just under different brand name?)
-- The studs don't look like they have a great anchor on the back side of the board; and the bottom of the board looks pretty slick, not a lot of ridges/etc to dig in to prevent it from sliding
-- $95 traction board with jack lift base; not sure if it's worth the tradeoff of losing surface area to dedicate to jack lift base
- Max Grip Tire Traction Pads
-- $120
-- Looks nice that the studs are replaceable! Seems like an obvious thing that any other traction board should have since this is the main wear point...What are the drawbacks??
- X-Bull
-- $60 for 4th gen here (if 4th gen is a thing...I only see 3rd gen listed anywhere else haha. But, either way)
-- Seems to be the most popular off-brand traction board out there. Looks to have good stud anchoring and good bottom-of-board traction to keep it from sliding around.
If I had to choose one this second, I would probably go with the X-Bull. But I don't have to get one now so my opinion could be swayed!
Thanks for any feedback
