Not sure why I'd ever want chains. My very front-heavy Hondas with studless Nokians have no trouble plowing through snow up to (and sometimes a little beyond) their ground clearance. Only times I've ever been stuck have been when I've physically lifted the front tires off the ground and have been sitting on my belly pan. What's the actual use-case for them?

On-topic, I'll second that these tires sound like vaporware. We're more likely to see them come about if we ever get airless tires.
