    - Other than refusing to throw the hook end, I hate the mushiness of trying to tighten one that's half rolled on the winch.
    - I cut a dozen or so straps down to use on my typical <4' freight. I used to constantly fold the excess and tuck it in between the strap and rail until I realized how much time I wasted doing it. Not to mention, excess sucks when using pocket winches.
    - I've had weeks all I used were chains, just like I can go weeks only using straps.

    I can't say I'm as pleased with the performance of my Roadmaster's as I was the price.

    I'll second that. I gave up on their tires about 7 years ago. Better off to pay half again the price for a tire that lasts twice as long.

    Those Dayton’s were $280 when I got them. $315 today. I thought they were great tires.


    The good years marathon were $386. The endurance was $24 more each. I ordered the marathons.

    Those Daytons were about the same as I've got my last 3 sets of Kelly KDAs for.
