A tire traction and vehicle turning device attaches to a tire of a vehicle to dislodge the vehicle from unfavorable ground conditions, such as snow, ice, or sand. The tire traction and vehicle turning device includes a tire-mounting body, a plurality of gripping treads, and a tie-down. The tire-mounting body attaches to a tire of the vehicle. The plurality of gripping treads provides a separate surface for the vehicle to gain traction due to differing coefficients of friction between the plurality of gripping treads and the grounds surface compared to the tire and the ground surface. The tie-down is positioned through the rim of the wheel to secure the tire-mounting body to the tire. As the tire is rotated, the tire traction and vehicle turning device is positioned between the ground surface and the tire, lifting the vehicle and propelling the vehicle in the direction the rotating tire is pointing.
