E Track Wheel Straps

E Track Wheel Straps & E-Track Tire Straps

E track wheel straps secure a vehicle by its tires, anchoring to the E-track rails already installed on your trailer. Each E-track tire strap uses 2" polyester webbing (12,000 lb. webbing break strength) and spring E-fittings that snap into any slot along the rail. These E track car tie down straps are also a good fit for low-clearance cars.

Note: fit depends on your tire size, not just your rim size — see our measuring guide. Don't have E-track installed yet? Shop our E-track rails to add anchor points to your trailer floor.

How E-Track Tire Straps Work

• Three E-track connection points. Each strap has three spring E-fittings that connect in front of the tire, behind it and at the ratchet end.
• Rubber tread blocks. Three rubber blocks fit into the rain grooves of the tire to keep the strap centered during transport. Replacement blocks are sold individually.
• Wide-handle ratchet. Tightens the strap evenly and locks it in place.
• Tire-based hold. These car tire straps hold the tires instead of compressing the suspension, which reduces stress on vehicle components.

Why Choose E-Track Wheel Straps

• Anchor anywhere along the rail. Spring E-fittings can attach at any slot, so you can position straps to match the vehicle.
• Fast loading and unloading. The fittings snap in and release in seconds.
• Works in enclosed trailers. E-track is one of the anchor options for enclosed trailer car tie downs.

How to Install E-Track Wheel Straps

1. Park the vehicle so each tire sits on an installed E-track rail. Then measure from the rail in front of the tire, over the tread, to the rail behind it and on to where the ratchet end will connect. That distance should be less than the strap's total length (see the measuring guide).
2. Lay the strap over the tire with the webbing flat and the rubber blocks in the tread grooves.
3. Lock the front and rear E-fittings into the rail, then connect the ratchet end.
4. Tighten with the ratchet until the strap is snug, without overtightening.
5. Repeat on all four tires.

E-Track Wheel Strap FAQ

How many E-track wheel straps do I need?

We recommend four, one per tire. The 4-pack covers a full vehicle.

What working load limit do I need?

The combined WLL of your straps should be greater than the vehicle's weight. Four of these straps at 2,000 lbs. WLL each give a combined 8,000 lbs.

Federal cargo securement rules (49 CFR 393.128) require cars, light trucks and vans weighing 10,000 lbs. or less to be restrained at the front and rear with at least two tiedowns. Securing all four tires is our recommendation for the most stable hold.

Do I need E-track installed to use these straps?

Yes. The spring E-fittings lock into E-track rails. Add horizontal E-track from this collection, or choose wheel straps with hooks if your trailer has D-rings or deck holes.
