Getting out of the driveway in the winter can be a feat when snow and ice make it difficult for your car's tires to grip. One question that often comes up is what is the best thing to use for traction, salt, sand, or kitty litter?
Well, for traction the answer is sand or kitty litter. Both have abrasive properties and work well to add some grip for tires. Sprinkled liberally around and behind tires, it provides adequate traction for getting out quickly.
This will also work if you get stuck on the road. Carry a sealed container of sand or kitty litter in the trunk for getting unstuck. Use it sparingly though, kitty litter absorbs liquid and gets mushy.
Cat litter is an inexpensive way to help you get better traction on ice and snow this winter. Skyline Mtisbishi suggests bringing your car in for a maintenance check before the snow flies.
