For several years now it has been my contention that Maxtrax are not worth their weight, never mind their cost.
I have never seen them accomplish anything that just deflating the tires a little bit more wouldn't have done just as well.
Until I watched this video:
About 27 minutes in.
But also, these guys drive harder than I can afford to.
Maxtrax - are they worth owning?
