Does anyone on here have anything to say about this brand? http://store.summitracing.com/partd...922915+4294838964+4294917490+115&autoview=sku
Tow strap

Brand is not what to look for. Quality sewn straps are made by numerous companies. That appears to be a good strap. You can get away with using 2" wide straps, but 3" is even better.
As a rule of thumb a strap should have a rating of about 10K lbs per inch width.
EDIT: Good selection here.

Are you looking for a two strap or recovery strap?
I use a lightweight strap, 15-20k, for towing, like a car off the road, and a different heavy duty strap for recovery.

Look at the ends of a strap. Long overlap and high stitch count is what you want. The loop end should be twisted on itself or doubled up. Again, ANYBODY can get/make the nylon for a strap, it's how they're put together that separates the good from the bad.
i make my own custom straps with dental floss.
you should try the mint strap, it's phenomenal.
i can also do cinnamon and bacon...

I use my tow strap when on pavement, where it's more likely to get damaged. Cheaper to replace.emmodg said:
Obviously if you only buy one, a recovery strap is the thing to get.
