Cable chains are good for traction on hard pack snow and ice, for deeper snow and slush link chains are better. The link chains will last longer as well but will ride rougher and mean lower speeds. If it's really bad out and you are towing you wouldn't want to go faster with cable chains anyway. I spend weeks if not months on end delivering mail in an old 2wd mail truck. We use link style hardened chains and they need repair every week even driving only 20 miles a day. We are at the disadvantage of having to run them sometimes on perfectly clear and dry paved roads because around the corner we will be back in the drifts.
