Cables don't bite on ice (try sliding backwards/sideways down a steep hill for 2 1/2 blocks with cables on...not fun.)
Chains will bite.
Not sure what the euro chains are , but security chain used to market some as euro chains and the passenger car version is now labled Whitestar.

The diamond pattern keeps them from loosening up, they go on easy and the alloy is sturdy enough to run on dry for miles without comming apart if needed to find a safe place to pull them .

I have a set of these for backup for my brick, and I used to run the heavy version on a semi running in severe conditions, and never broke a link ( which is unheard of for truck chains , you usually break a link every other time they are used)
