Troubleshooting
Straps do not seem to fit securely.
Ensure the strap is properly threaded through the buckle and pulled tight. Verify that your tire width falls within the 165-245 mm range.
Reduced traction persists after installation.
Confirm that multiple straps are used, as recommended for optimal performance. Check that the steel studs are facing outward and are not obstructed. Ensure straps are correctly positioned on the tire.
Straps feel stiff in cold weather.
This is normal for some materials. Allow the straps to warm slightly before attempting installation if possible, though the TPU is designed to remain flexible.
Product seems damaged.
Inspect the TPU strap and steel studs for any signs of cracking, tearing, or missing components. Do not use if damage is present.
