A vehicle track system to increase the contact patch of the tires on a vehicle for use in sand, snow, or soft soil is disclosed. The vehicle track system is a quickly installed vulcanized rubber sections draped over the tire and secured with very strong over-center latches. The over center latches are used for closing the wrapped rubber track with some fine threaded adjustment and an over center clamp. Steel pins are used to link the individual track to tread together. The over center clamp is adjustable in length, allowing for fine tuning of the fit of the track on the tire. The vehicle track system works for almost any size tire and provides more width for dual wheels. The vehicle track system is easily installable and provides a large footprint that enables a vehicle to cross terrain.

A tire traction and vehicle turning device attaches to a tire of a vehicle to dislodge the vehicle from unfavorable ground conditions, such as snow, ice, or sand. The tire traction and vehicle turning device includes a tire-mounting body, a plurality of gripping treads, and a tie-down. The tire-mounting body attaches to a tire of the vehicle. The plurality of gripping treads provides a separate surface for the vehicle to gain traction due to differing coefficients of friction between the plurality of gripping treads and the grounds surface compared to the tire and the ground surface. The tie-down is positioned through the rim of the wheel to secure the tire-mounting body to the tire. As the tire is rotated, the tire traction and vehicle turning device is positioned between the ground surface and the tire, lifting the vehicle and propelling the vehicle in the direction the rotating tire is pointing.

An attachment is provided for a vehicle wheel, having a rim and a tire arranged on the rim, for enabling a driving operation with a restricted tire function in an operating state in which the attachment is fastened on the vehicle wheel. The attachment may include a stationary section configured to be fastened immovably with respect to the rim in the operating state in which the attachment is fastened on the vehicle wheel, a tread section with a tread for contacting the road, and at least two clamping devices configured to engage behind a section of the rim to fasten the attachment on the vehicle wheel, wherein the tread includes at least one tread segment arranged movably in a circumferential direction with respect to the stationary section in the operating state in which the attachment is fastened on the vehicle wheel.

Wheel hub adaptor (11) attachable to vehicle wheel to attach vehicle accessory for rotation with vehicle wheel, has an inner mounting plate (15) with recesses or apertures (17) to match a vehicle wheel stud pattern, a body (19) extending from the plate (15) to an outer mounting plate (27) having a mount to which the vehicle accessory attaches. The mount has apertures (65) which align with studs (75) on a mating mount of the vehicle accessory. The inner mounting plate and the outer mounting plate mount to the vehicle wheel and vehicle accessory respectively, by rotating apertures (17 65) to stop portions (35 71), and is secured by a bolt passing through one of two circular apertures (43 45) or (67 69). Vehicle accessories can be provided like a paddle to self-propel the vehicle in sand, and a wheel to widen the vehicle track.

An auxilairy traction assembly adapted to be connected to a first wheel of a first tire of a vehicle. The auxiliary traction assembly including a second tire and a second wheel, the second wheel is a one-piece elongated tube having a first end adapted to be connected to the first wheel of the first tire and a second end housed in the second tire, the first end of the second wheel has a first flange having a curved inward shape that fits into a central hole of the first wheel, the second end of the second wheel has a second flange having a curved outward shape; and when the auxiliary traction assembly is connected to the first wheel, the first tire is spaced apart from the second tire by 2 inches by the one-piece elongated tube of the second wheel.

An attachment for a vehicle wheel enables driving operation with limited tire function. The attachment may include a base body, a tread surface for contacting a road surface, at least one bracing apparatus configured to engage with a hook portion behind a portion of a rim of the vehicle wheel and a bracing mechanism having a contact portion configured to actuate the bracing apparatus and to bring the hook portion into engagement behind the portion of the upon actuation of the contact portion.
