I’m surprised by this too. I’ve never owned chains. Only see them used on tractors.

I think some towns prohibit use of chains because it tears up the road.

Confirmed, only place I use them is on my tractor even though yeah they're a little tough on my steep driveway. Be impossible without them though. Granted, also heavier than car chains.

So I don't really have any insights into how other people think, but I wonder if the appeal is the thought that they'd just be temporary for a bad storm or maybe for cars that are mainly on paved roads but might only need them to get up the back woods driveway if their rental house?

For my daily drive, studs are the clear answer
