Abstract: This present invention relates to an anti-skid device adapted to being mounted on tyres of the vehicle wheels to provide traction and wheel to ground contact enhancement in snowy and icy conditions. The device includes a central hub from which protrudes radially three arms which are extended at the outer end by anti-slip components transversally embracing the tread of the tyre. The inner area of the anti-slip components in contact with the tread is designed to increase friction to prevent circumferential displacement of the anti-skid device. When the car is moving a horizontal depression is formed at tyre-ground contact and this provokes a change in wheel radius. Integrated springs follows the depression by moving radially inwards to ensure that the anti-skid device stays attached to the tyre even when an anti-slip component is at the ground contact point at the bottom of wheel. A fastening handle integrated into the hub secures the device on the wheel by simultaneously tightening the arms radially inwards.
