How it attaches
Slides on in under a minute, no tools or hardware required. Two attachment systems depending on the material:
- Elastic band (PU Leather, PVC): Stretches over the tire and grips behind the tread for a snug, factory-style fit.
- Drawstring cord (Polyester, Marine Grade Vinyl, Marine Grade Vinyl Lux): Wraps over the tire and tightens with a drawcord for a secure, adjustable fit.
Both systems stay put at highway speeds and remove in seconds for tire access.
