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.

The tire traction device of claim 1, wherein said shock member comprises a spring for capable of retracting a space between said tire arm and said track. 3. The tire traction device of claim 1, wherein said tire arm includes a free first arm, a straight arm, and a second arm forming a U-shaped structure. 4. The tire traction device of claim 3, wherein said free first arm is slidably engageable along the length of said straight arm for controlling a width between said first arm and said second arm. 5. The tire traction device of claim 1, wherein each said traction track frame has a width about the width of a vehicle tire. 6. The tire traction device of claim 1, wherein said first frame is pivotally connected to said second end of said shock and includes a tapered end, and an opposite end on said first frame connected to said second frame. 7. The tire traction device of claim 6, wherein each said frame has a point of axis of rotation relative to said successive frame located along said longitudinal sidewall of each said frame. 8. The tire traction device of claim 7, wherein said second frame abutting said first frame, and every other successive frame is constructed of a smaller width than that of the preceding frame, whereby said frames interconnect to form a flat uniform traction surface for a vehicle tire to rotate about. 9.
