I think this sort of system is better and cheaper. Also has been around for a long time. Now you know what those hanging chains are used for on buses and fire trucks near the wheels
Maybe for large commercial vehicles, but I don’t want my little sedan rattling around like Jacob Marley after the roads have been cleared.
Yea, if you frequently need chains, but not all the time (say for ice), there's the spider style. It uses a hub that bolts onto your lugnuts, and the gripper is like a hubcap that latches into the hub putting plastic fingers with studs over the tires.
Then there's the mash material type - the tire sock. Postal service delivery vehicles use them in town. They don't damage the road. Pretty easy to put on, easy to stow.
