A non-skid tire structure including a tire having a pair of opposed side walls and a peripheral road contacting outer circumferential surface. The outer surface of the tire has a plurality of spaced grooves on its circumference. A deformable non-skid assembly is mounted on the tire. The assembly includes at least one anchor member on the tire and also includes a plurality of non-skid elements with each element having its ends connected to the at least one anchor member. A central portion of each of the elements is normally positioned in a corresponding groove on the circumference of the tire so that when the tire structure is rotating in normal engagement with a road surface, the elements will remain positioned in the grooves and when the tire structure skids on the road surface each element will contact the road surface and will frictionally engage therewith. The assembly will then automatically deform to permit the element to be at least partially displaced from the groove to increase frictional engagement between the road surface and the tire structure and to thereby assist in stopping the skid and returning the tire structure to normal engagement with the road surface. At that time, the assembly will automatically return to its normal configuration and position.
