The present invention relates to a novel and easy to use tire traction-enhancing tool that is used for increasing traction of a tire stuck in snow, ice, mud and/or other environmental hazards that prohibit or obstruct movement of a vehicle. The tool features a plurality of steel or aluminum chains welded together in a mat or rectilinear configuration that is configured to be securely deployed underneath a stuck vehicle tire. The chains are formed of pre-bent welded links and the chains are connected to each other through connecting links. The tool is lightweight, portable, easy to deploy and remove and can be stored in the trunk of the vehicle. The tool is not required to be mounted to the tire and thus increases the life of the tire and the effectiveness of traction provided to the tire.
