well being in mid Missouri we do still have a little bit of winter and YES i have for sure used the tire cables they are really just a way smother chain they don't have the grip or the bite of a real tire chain but they do for some unknown reason really help and they are pretty small and will fir inside the wheel well i think the biggest issue with the chains is if they even let go when you are doing like 30-40
We do use the BIG tire chains on our tractor and them suckers have some bite bad thing is IF you get a tractor stuck wiht chains on its probably staying there till spring
