Wanted: Recommendation for Auto Tie Down Straps

[Oakland Bronco]

I will be using a Uhaul auto transporter (http://www.uhaul.com/Reservations/EquipmentDetail.aspx?model=AT) to move my Bronco from D.C. to CA. And because I have 35" tires, I am responsible for providing my own tie down straps. Any recommendations?

I should add that the straps need to wrap up and around the front tires.

this place on ebay will make them.

I asked awhile back they don't stock but just tell them what size you need

Most of the car haulers that deliver vehicles to my shop are using tie downs which wrap around the tire and secure to the floor of their trailer using E-Track or more commonly called A-Track in our business. I have axle wraps and wide yellow belt ratchet style tie downs with hooks on each end. I find the hooks are normally difficult to attach to most trailers, due to their size, but with a carabeaner - (sorry my spelling sucks and my understanding of the word, maybe) I can make most any trailer work out safely.

Can't you use chain? Since you have clearance and solid axles? One chain front around axle and to two forward mounting points on the trailer, and the same in the rear?

I love my S-Line straps - very easy to work with, they stay clean and make tieing stuff down a pleasure. No noisy and dirty chains or binders - just toss an axle strap around whatever you are securing and ratchet it down.

We get all of our tie-down equipment from Mac's. Very happy with everything they make.

Tractor supply has heavy duty straps that are reasonable (yellow 10-12k lb). Don't by the walmart cheapie ones and stop once an a while to check straps.

I also would recommend Mac's. That's what I use too. I'm not sure what that Uhaul will have for tie-down points but I bet if you call Mac's they could recommend a set of straps that would work as they are quite knowledgeable when it comes to tying stuff down.

Another recommendation for Mac's. Love their products.
