#7. Zip Grip Go Cleated Tire Traction for Cars, Vans and Light Trucks ($30 @ Amazon.com)
Tire gear is essential for your car needs because tires are probably the most exposed part of the car – they wear out pretty darn fast. The Zip Grip Go Cleated Tire Traction Device package includes 10 traction ties, and is adjustable, fitting any tire size (rims up to 22″). While it’s not for steel rims, it’s easy to install even when your car is stuck. The good news is that this is perfect for vans, SUVs and light trucks. It’s especially useful when you want to get unstuck in snow, mud or ice.
