May need to haul a car. I don't have any of those straps made for going over the tires. Anyone have a link to somewhere I can get them big enough to fit over these big meats? 18" fronts, 19" rears and they are wide mofos
Front Tire Size: P275/35ZR18
Rear Tire Size: P325/30ZR19
About those straps for car tire securement to a stepdeck

You can buy them, but it's much easier to go to TSC and buy the 2" ratchet straps with the J-hooks on the end. That's what I've done for years and they are usually on sale for $9.99. The straps are tagged and rates for 3,333 lbs each.
heres a link to a place you can buy them tho....

and going y the tire size, your hauling a Corvette Z06
Winchester Magnum Thanks this. -
You can just use regular two inch straps. Hook the hook in the rail in front of the tire, then take strap to the rear of the tire, around the inside towards the top, and back out around the front and down to the rear of the tire at the rail. Hopefully I explained this right, it makes an x with the strap on the outside.
Winchester Magnum and Mommas_money_maker Thank this. -
why not just cross some chains from the frame/suspension in the front and rear and save yourself some $$$?
-
Going by the tire size, it's either a Z06 or maybe a Porsche/Ferrari. They have a valance panel built under them to help with aerodynamics at high speeds. Not as easy to hook down as you might think.Logan76 Thanks this.
-
Logan, there's nothing to safely hook to under there, except the tie-down holes, which only take carhauler hooks. Lots of aluminum and composites which don't much care for contact with steel chain.
I'm wondering how you'll get the ramps shallow enough to load it?Logan76 Thanks this. -
Spend $50 and have a rollback come load it onto the deck for ya. Done that before
-
'Preciate it gents! I've got those 2 inchers with the hooks but was leaning more toward the actual car hauler type, having never thought the wrap around method. And yeah, as said - no chains on this load.
SHC, you're pretty good...
-
I've got "lasso" straps they're 12 ft load you wrap them around the tire and rim I can take a picture If you'd like.....I love them
-
I've wanted a set of those since I've seen them in your truck. Please share where u got them...
