An automobile traction enhancement device including a detachable continuous track disposed circumferentially around an automobile road tire. The track comprises a strong, flexible, matlike material having a plurality of evenly spaced U-shaped cleats and bars attached across the underlying tire tread area. The automobile traction enhancement device configured as an elongated strip having the bars and a portion of the cleats facing a road surface is first positioned in a driving path of a driven road wheel and the automobile is driven thereon. The device is then wrapped around the tire tread portion and interjoined by a pin which is inserted through holes in the track ends thereby linking the ends for use. The cleat sides engage the road wheel sidewalls thereby precluding side slippage from the wheel. The bars and a portion of the cleats engage the roadway thereby providing traction in snow and ice surface conditions.
