Like other people have commented, I found that the ramps slide backwards when you try to drive up them. Especially on wet pavement.I blocked mine with a couple bags of gravel that I happened to have laying around, which solved the problem and I was able to drive up the ramps without further issue.It was faster, even when I had to block them with the gravel, than when I used a floor jack to lift the car, place a jackstand, then go around to the other side and jack that side up and place a jackstand.So overall, these ramps saved me a little time, but they're not perfect.
Perfect for my low IS-250 and lighter than my old, steeper metal ramps. Seems sturdy. Easy to use and has ground spikes to reduce movement. Wide enough for wide tires and stable. Highly recommend for the DIY'er.
Picked these up for 30 bucks at Pep Boys last week. I have a 2007 Saab 9-3 and it barely clears the front.Per the product labels, each ramp is rated for 4000 lbs and is for tires of 7.5 inches in width or less. They are thick plastic with a single large block of rubber footing at the low end of the ramp. The handles make these ramps easy to carry. So that means tires with specs of 190 width or less. I have a 215/x/x tires and it seems fine.
Nice. Made from some kind of really tough plastic. Just fine for a Prius oil change.
I purchased these as they were supposed to work well with a low profile car. I own a 2004 Mazda3 and the front bumper still scraped the top of these ramps when I was trying to go up them. These also will slide on a smooth concrete surface like a garage floor. Otherwise they work well and are of good quality.
