reTyre Traction Skins | Heavy-Duty All-Terrain Tire Covers
reTyre™ Modular All-Terrain Wheelchair Traction Skins (Pair)
All-Terrain Aggressive Tread Pattern, Tool-Free Fastening System, Weatherproof Rubber Build, and Clean Indoor-Outdoor Transitions
Transitioning from smooth indoor floors to soft, wet, or uneven outdoor surfaces can cause wheelchair drive wheels to slip, leading to physical exertion and loss of control. Standard smooth tires work well on carpet and hardwood but struggle on grass, gravel, mud, or snow. The reTyre™ Modular Wheelchair Traction Skins provide an adaptable outer tread layer designed to fit over your existing drive wheels without changing out entire wheel assemblies.
Manufactured from industrial-grade synthetic rubber compounds, these lightweight modular tire covers wrap directly over smooth 24-inch, 25-inch, or 26-inch standard wheelchair tires. Featuring an aggressive deep-groove tread pattern, they establish mechanical grip across slippery terrain while preserving your chair's smooth indoor performance. The tool-free fastening system allows active users to apply or remove the skins in seconds before re-entering the home, keeping outdoor mud and water off indoor floors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do these traction skins require an existing base tire to work?
A: Yes. These are modular tire covers, not standalone wheels. They wrap directly over your wheelchair's existing smooth 24", 25", or 26" tires to add an outer tread layer.
Q: Do I need to readjust my wheelchair brakes when using these skins?
A: No. The overall thickness of the traction skin is designed to work with standard wheelchair push-to-lock or pull-to-lock wheel brakes without requiring adjustment.
Q: How do I clean the traction skins after using them outdoors?
A: Simply rinse mud, sand, or debris off using a garden hose or wipe down with a damp cloth and mild liquid soap. Allow them to air dry before storing.
