They are slippery

Difficult to use
By michael pistoresi on Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2023
These are difficult to use on a concrete floor. When I attempted to move the vehicle onto the ramps the rear ramps move backward and are thrown out from under the rear wheels while the vehicle does not move forward onto the front ramps. The only way that I was successful in putting the vehicle onto the ramps was to drive it onto the front ramps first, use a floor jack to pick up the rear of the vehicle, place the tire savers under the rear of the vehicle then lower the vehicle onto the ramps. These ramps may work on an asphalt surface but are difficult to use on smooth concrete surfaces.

Great product but will slip on concrete

Took a little thinking but in the end I used a $12 piece of non slip carpet backing from Walmart cut into 4 pieces to keep the tire savers from slipping when I backed up onto them on my concrete floor. Overall I think they'll work just fine. Very good for the price.
We'll see

These tire savers function as advertised. The tire settles nicely into the curve of the device and promises to prevent the tire from developing a flat spot. I can't say for sure how well they will work since I just put them into place. I imagine that regular tire pressure checks would be advisable if the vehicle is to be stored for an extended period of time. My only concern is that the plastic out of which these tire savers are made seems a bit flimsy and subject to warping or breakage over time, especially if exposed to sunlight. I plan to keep them covered along with the tires in order to prevent that. We'll see what happens.

The product seems like a great deal

This product is a good idea. an affordable tire holder to keep collector or hobby cars from flatspotting their tires while sitting for long periods. Griot's and other suppliers charge a ton for these. I got 8 because I was so excited at the cost. However, they were all slightly cracked although still usable for the purpose designed. The problem I had was that it was not possible to drive onto them without the scooting on ground away. So it would take quite a bit of work and forethought and good adhesive or other such material to keep them in place......that's just another project....I was trying to avoid another project with these.

Great idea, flawed execution.

I bought these to protect the tires on my Porsche from getting flat spots. Great concept. However, the execution of these particular ones is flawed. They slide around and are impossible to drive up on. I ended up needing to jack up each corner of the car to get these under the tires. Rolling the car off was easier, but still they ended up flying around the garage when freed of the weight of the vehicle. Worst is that I drove the car this spring and... still had flat spots after not even two months on the protectors. Save your money on these and spend it on the way more expensive versions that are softer rubbery material that actually do the job. These are getting recycled into something more useful.Did they break? No.Are they easy to use? No.Are they flimsy feeling? Yes.Do they FEEL sturdy? No. Were they? Yes.Would I buy them again? No.Did they prevent flat spots? No, not even close.

Maybe it's me as a first-time user, but I thought I'd be able to drive or back onto these ramps. No way! I ended up having to jack the car at each tire and slide them under. More work, but ultimately got them in place. I checked online and there is no instruction video on best practices for using this product. I think mfr should provide instruction in box (there was nothing) and consider making a short video for YouTube to help novices such as me. I can't be the only one.
Mine slid, so didn't work for me (didn't want to nail them down)

I think you nail them down using the holes, they might work. I didn't want to use nails, so for me they had no value because they would slide when using with a car.On my first try, with a rear wheel drive car, the car drive up onto the front, but they shoot out for the backs. I also tried getting a little speed and going in neutral, but couldn't get them to go up. After a few tries, the front ones would slide too.There are holes though, and I suspect that they could be nailed into place, but I just didn't want nails around my tires. I was thinking "what it there is some kind of slow expansion or something, and it pushed the nails out, and into the tires over time", so I didn't do the nail idea.So for me, I threw mine out because they didn't work for a car in my case. But if you're willing to nail them down, they might work for you. I saw another person mention that they were flimsy and seemed like they might crack. I didn't find them flimsy and they would have worked fine if the they could have stayed in place.So these didn't work for me, and so I tossed mine out. But they might work for someone else.
