Chains = heavy duty
Cables = light duty


Are  you after just a little better traction on what is probably a snowed up
paved surface or also in unimproved roads or off the road.


Cables are approved for chain laws in most states with mountain passes but
double check with your state on what meets chain law and what doesnąt.  Some
of the mfr sites have info.


Some states have specific laws banning chains on paved surfaces so again
check your states rules.


Most cable systems are fairly easy to install in the mess.  Most chain
systems are not.


Chain systems very heavy
Cable systems very light




I know of some people that carry both.  All I have are chains.
