Two wheel drive would be pointless me thinks.

I do not understand how it secures itself to the tire.. or does it ? what if you hit a good sized divot. Good idea but I want MOARR information. Soon I shall have it.

Chance for a two wheel drive version? Perhaps with skis on the front?

Dude I've been driving around Seattle this past weekend in my Two wheel drive Element no chains. I pass 4X4s all the time that are sliding and slipping around because people don't understand HOW to drive in the snow.

EDIT: Also we're about to get hammered so I hope people got their cameras fired up

>> ^LordOderus:

What if the car was a standard and was in gear? Wouldn't dragging the tires like that cause damage when they can't roll freely?


The majority of cars on the road today are two-wheel drive. The Chevrolet Corvette being towed at the beginning of the video is rear-wheel drive and the Toyota Corolla at the end of the video is front-wheel drive. In these cases, the tow truck driver hoists the car by it's driven wheels.

In the case of an all-wheel drive vehicle, this solution would cause damage to the vehicle. I would be especially worried if I owned a car that was mostly sold as front-wheel drive, but the one I owned was one of a few rare, all-wheel drive models(which I do). You can't expect a tow truck driver to know the driven wheels of every car ever made, and the ad itself points out that the tow truck driver can do everything without ever getting out of his truck.
