Have you tested the performance of the AutoSock on rear wheel drive cars, on an uphill ?

Going uphill in my 2007 Infiniti G35 was no problem. The only issue with using these on a rear wheel drive is your do not have the steering and braking as the traction is still on the rear wheels. I am still glad I used them but I had more control when put on my front wheel drive car.

I have a front wheel drive car and I haven't test it yet. Will see how it performs this winter.

I personally have not tested the AutoSock. I have purchased a set but have not used them yet. After reading from the site www.autosock.com and viewing the video, http://www.autosock.com/en/news-medias/videos.html the bottom two on the 18 wheeler's I cannot believe that using them on a real wheel car would be any different than on a front wheel drive car, you always put chains on the drive axle. Just a side note I live in Washington state and I have checked the law on traction devices and the AutoSock is listed as approved. Hope this helps.

I used autosock on a 2001 civic, (front wheel drive)the traction is super. I live at the bottom of a hill and after snow storms I could not get up the hill. With AutoSock I had no problems. I would guess it would work well with rear wheel drive.

I used mine to go from south louisiana to dallas texas and back and drove 75 - 85 mph...I had a Chevy impaled...it did fine..no drag...the only reason I dont use it now is that it is hard for me to load and fold by myself...two people just fine...we use it now on the back of the car when we go camping to carry extra equipment

For the most part. If going downhill at high speed, there is a delay in stopping. Normal, everyday stopping and slopped downhill works fine .

Yes I am. I love it and use it daily. This wheel takes PC racing to a whole different level. I use it mostly on iRacing and have had good success with league racing. This unit doesn't have a clutch pedal but this feature can be set-up as "auto clutch" on almost all racing software.

No I don't believe so. I've never tried it...just to keep dirt out while driving on dirt roads.

I have an 04 grand Cherokee (automatic unfortunate). It did little to nothing. My driving habits made a difference. The effect of it are unnoticeable. Sorry to disappoint.

My XHD has held up great off road. I've slid into a few rocks, and it still looks new. One of my favorite mods to my jeep.

I have not used it in conjunction with towing. However I have noticed an increase in take off power and power when dropping into over drive. Try it, you will like it.

I guess that depends on what you mean by offroad. On compacted dirt I think it would do okay, probably not so good on gravel or sand or loose dirt.

it will "assit" around two thousand (2,000) lbs up a hill. really it is a great motor. works best with lithium batt.

Yes. I'm guessing there is either a problem with the drive shaft, gears not meshing, or your front differential. I made mine into a rear wheel drive by removing the drive shaft, I think rwd is more fun on some surfaces.

I tried it this morning when I started the car and put it in reverse to my amazement it was pretty quick 10-15 seconds. I am running the latest software update, I remember that it used to take longer.

On mine I did not! Granted I'm only currently running 31's and have no issues, maybe with a larger tire but now under all driving conditions nothing affected

I'm not sure,but it should climb your driveway with no problems.But,it doesn't do well on inclines,it simply does not have the torque.

I put a speed sensor on the back wheel last winter for time on the trainer. It worked well! I have not tried it on the road so I can not speak to that. The heart monitor would read 0 on occasion if I sat up straight for too long.

not good for off road use but a fast street application..right around 30mph

I have used it on sand (beach) and rough terrain (tree roots/grass) and it has been great. Big wheels and good shock absorption.
