2017 Smart tie downs

[rdickinson]

Working on deck mods for new car. Are two tire baskets adequate to secure the car. Up[ till now been using 4.

 

Thanks

I would think so but I use 4. But I have never strapped it down with 2.

Roger,

 

As Glenn says it may be but I wouldn't use just two. I have been on some roads where the truck bounces like a bronco coming out of the chute. The likelihood of the front or back tires dancing around on the smart is not great but I just don't want to take the chance. I use two tire baskets on the fronts and two straps with tread blocks on the rear.

I've always used four just out of an abundance of caution. There have been couple of times where one has become a bit loose for one reason or another.
