Wheel Traction Assembly

A wheel traction assembly being configured to be mounted on a tire for additional traction, said assembly comprising:

• a pair of gripping units, each of said gripping units being movably coupled together, each of said gripping units being configured to be positioned on a tire of a vehicle when the vehicle is stuck, each of said gripping units tapering to at least one point wherein said at least one point is configured to frictionally engage the ground when the tire is rotated thereby enhancing traction when the vehicle is stuck, each of said pair of gripping units comprising:
• a block having a bottom wall, a top wall and a perimeter wall extending therebetween, said perimeter wall having a first lateral side, a second lateral side and a back side, bottom wall being configured to abut the tire, said block being elongated between said first lateral side and said second lateral side wherein said block is configured to extend across an entire width of the tire, said top wall having a bend therein extending between said first lateral side and said second lateral side to define a first half of said top wall forming an angle with a second half of said top wall, each of said first and second halves sloping downwardly toward said bottom wall to define a pair of teeth wherein said pair of teeth is configured to frictionally engage the ground, said pair of gripping units including a first gripping unit and a second gripping unit, and
• a hinge being coupled between said back side corresponding to said first gripping unit and said back side corresponding to said second gripping unit such that said first gripping unit is hingedly coupled to said second gripping unit wherein each of said first and second gripping units is configured to follow a curve of the tire;
• and
• a pair of retention units, each of said retention units being coupled to said pair of gripping units wherein each of said retention units is configured to be removably attached to the tire thereby retaining said pair of gripping units on the tire, each of said retention units comprising:
• a first strap being coupled to said first lateral side of said block, said first strap having a distal end with respect to said block,
• a mating unit being coupled to said distal end of said first strap wherein said mating unit is configured to be manipulated, and
• a second strap being coupled to said second lateral side of said block, said second strap being configured to be extended through a wheel corresponding to the tire, said mating unit engaging said second strap when the second strap is extended through the wheel wherein said mating unit is configured to tighten the block onto the tire.
