Zip Treads strap through your wheel and around your tire like a heavy-duty reusable zip tie. Once tightened, the raised traction ridges bite into snow, ice, or mud to give your tires instant grip.

Yes. Zip Treads include a built-in release tab, allowing you to remove them after use and store them for your next emergency.

They’re designed to work with any standard car, SUV, or truck tire size. Their universal strap length makes them perfect for all vehicles.

We recommend using at least 3–5 straps per drive axle tire for best traction, depending on how stuck your vehicle is.

For emergency use (getting unstuck), these devices are generally permitted in all states when required for safety on snow, ice, or slippery conditions, as they do not damage the road surface like driving traditional chains on dry pavement.

No. Zip Treads are made for short-distance emergency use only. Drive slowly and remove them immediately once your vehicle is free.

No tools needed. They snap on and off by hand in under a minute. If there is any excess strap hanging out after tightening the Zip Treads, you can safely trim the extra length with scissors or a utility knife.

When used correctly and removed after emergency use, Zip Treads will not damage your tires or wheels. Avoid long-distance or high-speed driving.
