Recommended Wheel Nets for Jeeps with 29-Inch and 30-1/2-Inch Diameter Tires
Question:
I have 2 Jeep XJ s with 235 75r 15 and 245 75r 16 tires. What wheel net will work with these?

A 235/75R15 size tire has an overall diameter of just under 29-inches and a width of about 9-1/4-inches. A 245/75R16 tire has an overall diameter of about 30-1/2-inches and a width of about 9-1/2-inches.
Wheel nets we offer top out at the 29-inch size. I called both Erickson and Kinedyne, both makers of wheel net products, and neither offers a wheel net in the size you need for the 245/75R16 size tires.
We do carry Erickson # EM58522 which is an adjustable ratcheting strap with hooks that fits tires up to 19-inches.
You may instead care to use an axle strap to secure the other Jeep. Part # 08504-05 is an axle tie down kit from Erickson rated for a working load limit (WLL) of 3300-lbs each. Two of these would be great to secure your Jeep with the 245 tires.
