Putting a single set of chains or cables on a
dual tire setup will work OK on ice or
hardpacked snow. If you start digging down,
however, the tire without the chain/cable will
begin taking weight and the traction on the
chained tire goes away. As far as which is
more effective: Werner Transportation runs
only cables on their big trucks and by February
that stretch of I-70 between Denver and Eagle,
Colorado is pretty much paved with Werner
iron! On grades like Vail pass, the Eisenhower
Tunnel approaches, Red Mountain pass and
the like cables don't have enough bite. Also,
cables don't have the strength to transmit that
kind of torque without failing when they do
have bite.
