This product is a traction assembly designed primarily for heavy-duty vehicles, and comprises a chain assembly of unidirectionally distorted links in combination with rings connecting the same, and side chains holding the assembly securely upon the vehicle tire; the links of the traction portion having projecting lugs upon the outward face thereof, wherein the interaction of the rings and chains maintains the assembly in position for maximum contact of the lugs with the surface of the terrain.
