Winter storms can be brutal, and not everyone can stay parked at home until roads clear, but right now, you can save on the emergency gear you’ll need if you get caught on the road in a storm. You’ll find storm-kit staples like snow brushes, tire chains/socks, traction boards, road flares, and jump-starters from brands like NOCO and Hulkman.

A flat tire in freezing wind or slush can turn into a safety issue fast, and having a quick inflator-sealant option in the car buys time and helps you get to a safer place. The goal of a winter car kit is simple: keep your vehicle moving, ensure you’re visible to other drivers, and reduce time spent in a drift. 

Our list includes deep discounts on traction tools for getting unstuck, hazard lights and flashlights for breakdowns, and engine block heaters for frigid mornings – so you and your car are prepared when the forecast takes a turn for the worse.

Fix-A-Flat Tire Repair + Inflator

$8.49 (was $13.39)

See It

Fix-A-Flat is one of the simplest “carry it and forget it” items that can save a winter drive. A slow leak or puncture during a storm can strand a car in the worst place, and this gives drivers a fast way to seal and reinflate so they can get off the road and to a safer spot.

Bunker Indust Traction Boards

Now $55.99 (was $69.99)

See It

Traction boards are a smart add for winter because they help a vehicle climb out of snow, slush, or ice ruts without waiting for a tow. Keeping a set in the trunk can shorten the time spent stuck and get drivers moving again with less wheel spin and less digging.

Snow Socks for Tires

Now $39.99 (was $79.99)

See It

Tire socks are a quick traction option for snowy roads, especially for drivers who want an alternative to traditional chains. They’re lightweight, store easily, and can help improve grip when conditions turn slick.

Other Deals We’re Shopping

Deals on Tire Fixes

Storm driving is hard on tires, so these items can help handle leaks and low pressure before it becomes a tow call.

Deals on Traction Solutions

When tires spin in slush or powder, traction gear helps get the car moving again without digging for half an hour.

Deals on Visibility Gear

In whiteout conditions and early darkness, visibility tools help other drivers see a stopped vehicle sooner.

Deals on Jump Starters

Cold weather is hard on batteries, so jump-start gear can keep a “no-start” morning from becoming a stranded situation.

Deals on Snow Removal Basics

Clearing glass and lights isn’t optional in a storm, and a decent brush-scraper makes it faster and safer.

Deals on Products to Help with Cold Starts

When temperatures drop hard, block heaters can make cold starts easier on engines and batteries.

Deals on All-in-One Kits

Pre-packed kits are a straightforward way to cover a lot of needs at once, especially for drivers who don’t want to piece everything together.
