The Tire Grip Vehicle Traction Recovery Tracks for Snow, Mud, and Sand - Qty 2 # 288-07411-2 is designed for traction with a slow moving tire that is already stuck. If you aren't already stuck then snow chains are the route to go with a top speed of 25 mph in most cases.

For the emergency situation like you are describing you could use more traction platforms or you may be interested in the Tire Grip Vehicle Traction Recovery Track for Snow, Mud, and Sand - Qty 1 # 288-07411.

If you are looking for traction while driving, I recommend tire chains like the Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - Square Link - 1 Pair # TC2317. These specific chains are a low profile class S compatible chain for limited clearance and are a fit for 245/60-18 size tires. Most tire chains are made for a max speed of 30 mph. If you want to give me your tire size, I can make a recommendation for you.
