Easy-To-Use "SnowGrips" Provide Temporary Traction
"SnowGrips" are much easier to install than tire chains and cost far less than snow tires, says the manufacturer of new clamp-on devices that attach anywhere on a tire, clamped to the rim.
  They're sized for cars, mini vans, and pickups. No tools are required, and they're sold in sets of two.
  To install, you adjust the side pads outward around the sides of the tire, then run a tether strap through the inside of the wheel and connect it to the other side. Once you are unstuck, you take them off. They're not designed for highway use.
  SnowGrips adjust to fit virtually all tire sizes (from 175/50/13 to 235/75/16). They sell for $39.95 (U.S.) plus S&H.
