Not sure about this spray on stuff. I think I'd rather take my chances with tie wraps...

Sounds better than I expected!

random website review said:
Tyre Grip improved traction modestly during acceleration and braking, but any benefit waned after about one mile. On our hill, Tyre Grip improved starting traction slightly, but the Accord couldn't reach the top with or without the spray.

Nope not really.. maybe in a little engine hatchback on a light dusting of snow. I used 10mm thick ties is 2-3" of snow 2ltr estate. they broke off on the first spin. waste of time. FWD car if you can turn it around just go at in reverse is best bet.
