Abstract: A vehicle tire-traction apparatus has a pair of tire-traction sections wherein each tire-traction section has a generally arcuate member for placement over a vehicle tire outer sidewall. Each tire-traction section has a plurality of arm members attached to the arcuate member such that the arm members are transverse to the arcuate member and extend radially. Each tire-traction member also has a plurality of finger members wherein each finger member is attached to a corresponding arm member such that the finger member is angulated with respect to the arm member and extends over the vehicle tire tread and a portion of the vehicle tire inner sidewall. Each tire-traction section has a plurality of tire-tread contact members. Each tire-tread contact member is attached to a corresponding finger member and extends over a portion of the vehicle tire tread. Each tire-tread contact member is located between the finger member and the vehicle tire tread.
