Off road traction pads can help you get out of a real sticky situation if you ever get stuck in snow, ice, mud or sand. Today we are going to talk about off road traction pads so you can make an informed decision about them. We feel they are a must for every vehicle so today we are going to talk about what they are, how they work and when you would need them and also highlight The Portable Tow Truck - The Ultimate Tire Traction Pad

Off road traction pads: What are they? 

If you are reading this post you are probably aware of what tire traction pads are and how they work. Close to the end of this post, we are going to introduce The Portable Tow Truck - The Ultimate Tire Traction Pad which you many not be familiar with. 

The Portable Tow Truck in BlackFor those that are not aware, tire traction pads, also known as tire traction mats, tire traction aids or tire traction devices, are products that give your vehicle tires extra traction when needed. These are usually needed in an unexpected situation when your vehicle gets stuck. As such, this type of product can save you a lot of time and money from waiting and paying for a tow truck or just waiting on friend or family member to arrive and help you. 

Off road traction pads: How do they work? 

Tire traction pads are usually kept in your vehicle's truck, behind a seat or in the back of a truck. When your vehicle gets stuck, tire traction pads are placed under your spinning tire or tires. The bottom side of the tire traction pad grips the ground and the top side gives your vehicle tires extra grip to help pull the vehicle out of a sticky situation.

Off road traction pads: When would I need them? 

There are many situations where your vehicle can get stuck throughout the year. These include:

  • Snow 
  • Ice
  • Mud
  • Sand

Road covered in snow

Snow and ice, during the winter, are probably the most thought of in regards to using tire traction pads but your vehicle can get stuck anytime throughout the year depending on your driving situation. In the Spring, Summer and Fall, many families enjoy outdoor activities that take them off road. This can include:

  • Camping 
  • Picnics
  • Driving on the beach
  • RVing
  • Fishing trips
  • Family road trips

Camping at night

According to the New York Times...

"Road trips represented some 22 percent of vacations taken by United States travelers in 2015, but a year later that number jumped to 39 percent, according to MMGY Global’s 2017-18 Portrait of American Travelers, a report compiled from nearly 3,000 interviews with leisure travelers. The spike came as the travel industry roared back from the recession , hitting record levels of vacation spending, and as travelers stayed within the country. Nearly 14 million more vacations were taken within the United States during the past year compared with outside the country, MMGY Global found. Today, most American vacations — some 85 percent — are domestic. And while it may be tempting to attribute interest in road-tripping to nostalgia (and there is certainly some of that) , it seems the top reasons people are hitting the road are matters of practicality. "

Depending on the situation, once you get off road during Spring, Summer and Fall, your chances of getting your vehicle stuck increase and tire traction pads are a great way to help keep you on your journey.

Tire Traction Mat Reviews: The Portable Tow Truck In Orange

Finally, take a look at our REVIEW PAGE and see what our customers think about The Portable Tow Truck. Here are a few...

Cathy C. - "I was at a weekend RV outing event this past summer. I saw three RV's, one car, and one truck get stuck due to excessive rain and mud that weekend. A guy had several sets of these with him in his RV and he actually used them on all three RV's, the car and truck to get unstuck. I was shocked the product worked so well. Based on the price these are a must in my opinion." 5 out of 5 stars 

Melinda C. - "Love it!! Two days after we received it, we got our truck stuck in deep gravel, at an angle, up against some shrubbery. The more we tried to get unstuck, the more stuck we became. We placed the Portable Tow Truck under the outside rear wheel and BINGO!! The truck backed out with no problem at all. It saved us a big towing bill!!! Great product. A peace of mind that's very easy to carry around. I highly recommend it. A big fan"

Scott T. - "I ordered the orange portable tow truck about a month ago and have already used it once. It worked great. I pull a 10,000 mobile stage behind my 2 wheel drive truck. I was in wet grass and was able to pull it right out. Great product and will always recommend it. Thank you!"

Curtis, After reading this, these seem like a must have. They're so much cheaper and easier than waiting for a tow truck. I don't do much off roading, but I do live in an area that gets a fair bit of snow in the winter. They're definitely on my list of things to buy this fall.

Curtis, thank you for a great article on the tire traction pads. This is a must-have item for everyone! I can see how this will get me out of trouble when I get stuck in the mud next time. Curtis, I don't live in the USA how can I get these? Currently, I am living in Turkey.

I must admit that prior to reading your post, I never knew that such a product even existed. Living in New England, we get our fair share of snow, and these definitely seem like a must have to put in my trunk, since I currently don't own a 4-wheel drive vehicle. They're definitely going on the shopping list for the winter. Thanks for an informative post!

As someone from NL Canada where there is still 4 feet of snow...I can't recommend this or a similar product enough. Always keep a pair in my trunk.
