Autofonder Tow Dolly Basket Straps — 2-Pack for 14"–17" Tires, 2" UV-Resistant Webbing & Flat Hooks

Autofonder Tow Dolly Basket Straps are a 2-pack of heavy-duty wheel cradle straps with flat hooks designed to secure 14"–17" tires during towing.

These Autofonder straps replace single factory tie-downs with a dual-basket design that cradles the tire for firmer, safer transport. Built from wide 2" polyester webbing with UV and abrasion resistance, each strap delivers strong holding power and reduced friction against wheel surfaces. The flat, rust-resistant hooks streamline attachment to most tow dollies and open trailers, and the bright yellow webbing improves visibility during loading and inspection.

How do these straps improve towing stability?

The basket-style layout wraps the top of the tire so the strap rests against the rubber rather than floating free or slipping off. That contact reduces lateral movement and keeps the wheel centered on the dolly during acceleration, cornering, and braking.

• Dual-strap cradle design prevents strap wandering and wheel rotation.
• 2" wide webbing spreads pressure to minimize friction and wear.
• Safe working load rated at 3,333 lbs with assembly break strength >10,000 lbs.

Will these fit my wheels and trailer attachments?

Yes—the straps are made to accommodate most passenger vehicle wheels between 14" and 17" in diameter. The flat hooks are low-profile and corrosion resistant, fitting standard anchor points on tow dollies and common trailer rails.

• Designed for 14"–17" tire diameters typical on cars and light SUVs.
• Flat hooks reduce snagging and fit behind most dolly side rails.
• Bright yellow straps make alignment and inspection easier in low light.

How do I install and use the Autofonder basket straps?

Installation is straightforward: drape the basket over the top of the tire, attach the two flat hooks to the dolly anchor points, then tension the loose ends with your ratchet or winch (not included). The straps are intentionally wide to limit abrasion when tightened.

• Drape strap so the basket cups the tire crown for best hold.
• Hook both flat ends to anchor points on the dolly or trailer rail.
• Tension the free ends with a compatible ratchet or winch until snug.

What materials and durability features do these straps offer?

Autofonder uses industrial-grade polyester webbing treated for UV and wear resistance to extend service life outdoors. The hooks are rust-resistant to withstand wet conditions and frequent use, while the wide construction reduces concentrated wear on the tire and strap.

• 2" polyester webbing with UV and abrasion-resistant finish.
• Rust-resistant flat hooks for longer corrosion protection.
• High assembly strength for reliable performance under load.

Who is this for? Autofonder Tow Dolly Basket Straps are aimed at tow operators, vehicle transport companies, automotive hobbyists, and DIYers who need a faster, more secure method to tie down 14"–17" wheels. If you want a visible, durable replacement for a single factory strap and prefer a cradle-style hold that reduces strap wander, this 2-pack offers an economical, heavy-duty solution for safer vehicle transport.
