A automated tire chaining assembly includes a housing that is positioned above a respective one of a plurality of tires on a vehicle. A chain is formed into a closed loop and the chain extending through each of an entry and an exit of the housing. The chain is positionable in a deployed position having the chain being dropped downwardly around the respective tire to enhance traction of the tire on a slippery surface. A deploying unit is movably attached to the housing and the deploying unit engages the chain. The deploying unit urges the chain between the stored position and the deployed position. Additionally, the chain extends in front of the respective tire when the deploying unit urges the chain into the deployed position thereby facilitating the respective tire to roll over the chain.
