Maxtrax ...worth the money?

Are Maxtrax worth the money? or are the cheaper ones just as good?

 

Plenty of videos online that, IMHO show you what your paying for when you buy MaxTrax.

And yes I own 2 sets.

 

I’ve used TRED knock offs plenty of times and had no problems. I also broke a few here and there and TRED shipped a new pair as a warranty replacement every time with no questions. I’d only go with Maxtrax if you expect to be using them a lot. If not half the price will get you unstuck once a year just as well.

 

Just don’t lend a maxtrax to a stuck friend who you told not to bring a Lexus sedan to the desert who then proceeds to step on the throttle when you told them not to. Ask me how I know.

 

They are better than the cheap ones, but not worth the money.

 

Tred pro is better IMO

 

All I'll say is maxtrax saved my bacon numerous times over a few years and they still look like new. Treds on the other hand snapped the first time I used them in mud as a precaution. I wasn't even stuck, just driving over them blew them up.

 

Don't forget to look at USA made ActionTrax, as they are slightly less expensive.

They have a few differences than MaxTrax that are useful. Haven't heard or seen anyone actually break one of these.
