Wheels and tires are so expensive.

Why kitty litter instead of sand and/or rock salt? Sand is great for traction, salt is great too until it dissolves but then it's gotten rid of the ice. A mix of sand and rough rock salt is good. Kitty litter turns to nasty mud that gets all over your car and gloves (and then onto your steering wheel and shifter) and everything, I'm never using it for traction again.
