Car hauler's,,,where are you getting your wheel strap's

It's time for new strap's and the place I normally go has changed their strap, kinda. It's the same brand and part #, but it's not as stiff. I like a stiff strap because sometime's I can't quite reach the front tire of the front car. With the stiffy strap, I can just toss it up there and wiggle it down.

What I use is the All-Grip brand. What has changed is the placement of the black stripe on the strap. The old one's had the stripe toward's the middle, and the new one is along the outside edge. I'm thinking this denote's a stiffness or something. I might be wrong though.

So what are you guy's using, and where are you getting them. Heck, I can't even find All-Grip on the internet. Thank's.

I have four different sets of tie-downs, cause you never know what may work and what my no....my trailer box contains the following...

(4) chains and binders...
(4) ratchet straps with axle stap built onto the one end
(4) ratchet straps with "frame hooks" on the one end
(4) regular ratchet straps and (4) "thru the rim" staps

I bought all my stuff from Truck 'n' Tow. Best prices I could find on high quality stuff...I found out about them by asking a local towing outfit where they bought all there goods...All of my straps are Vulcan Pro Series, IMO they are one of the best quality straps for the money....

Thank's for the link.

Are those Vulcan strap's pretty stiff. Do they wear any better than the other's. I only need a 8' strap. I didn't see any in the catalog. Wonder if they make them.

a good place to get some cheap are the off-road shows where vendors put special pricing on that sort of thing. It just depends on how much you need them rated for. Hope this helps.

I like them; good quality and I think there is some form of a warranty on them...
