To begin with they work amazingly I got stuck in deep snow at a lake, I put them on and drove out with no problems, in fact I drove a few miles and they were fine, my problem was that they were so tight I couldn't take them off! I contacted the seller and what she wrote is this (tried it works fine); hello and thanks for getting in touch with us. It does sorry to hear about the difficult experience you have had removing your trac-grabbers. During use, the trac-grabbers can come loose under pressure causing the belt to become very tight. If this happens you will need to replace the rubber into its original position on the tyre.This will tighten the straps tension relaxed, and it will be much easier to take it off can't move the rubber back, try turning back a little, another option is the lane move the car to where the tire is on the rubber block. This will also loosen the tension on the band so it can be easily removed.
