A tire traction device having a tire arm about the width of a tire, roughly conforming the radial curvature of the tire and removably secured thereto, a spring-loaded shock pivotably attached to one end of the tire arm, and a traction track pivotably connected to opposite end of shock. The track includes a series of successively interconnected frames that pivot about each other, the first frame adjacent to the arm and pivotably connected thereto includes a tapered end. In use, the arm is placed about the tire and the tapered end of the first frame is wedged between the tire and the tractionless surface, the remaining frames can be laid flat or staggered. Upon rotation of the tire, the arm is rotated thereabout until releasing after contact with the first frame, whereby instantaneously the first frame and successive frames form a flat traction surface for the tire to rotate about.
