Tire bar and method of using the tire bar to unstick a vehicle

A method of unsticking a vehicle comprising:

• providing a tire bar comprising an elongated body, a traction section at a first end of the elongated body and extending from a surface of the elongated body, the traction section is configured to be mounted over treads on a wheel mounted on the vehicle, the traction section has an inner surface configured to contact the treads of the wheel and an outer traction surface configured to contact a driving surface, the inner surface opposing the outer traction surface, a lug contact section comprising a first lug connector configured to contact a first lug nut on the wheel and a second lug connector configured to contact a second lug nut on the wheel, the lug contact section comprises two parts that can be locked together in different positions to provide different distances between the first lug connector and the second lug connector, the lug contact section is configured to be movable along a length of the elongated body to vary a distance between the lug section and the traction section;
• adjusting a distance between the lug contact section and the traction section;
• adjusting a distance between the first lug connector and the second lug connector so that the first lug connector aligns with the first lug nut and the second lug connector aligns with the second lug nut and locking the two parts together;
• attaching the first lug connector to the first lug nut and the second lug connector to the second lug nut on the wheel and attaching the inner surface of the traction section to the treads on the wheel;
• and
• rotating the wheel so that the traction section contacts the driving surface and moves the vehicle.
