Yeah i agree.
I've seen friends put on normal chains at the snow, and it's fine when you're warm and doing it on a flat dry surface, but in the middle of a winter snowstorm with a strong cold wind, slippery road, snow/mud everywhere and either with gloves on or freezing bare hands it would be a different story!
The pics I posted of putting the chains on are on the way to Mt Hotham....I have been there 3 times and had to fit my chains twice. That day we were still 25ks from the resort!
My chain days are pretty high, have probably fitted them 10-12 times in 2 and a bit seasons, and always in blizzard conditions wher I was glad to be taking the easy option.
But I agree, if your not fitting them much, the cheaper the better if your ok with the small inconvenience.
I find it hilarious that every year around this time, there's a thread regarding snow chains

maca i was inspired after i bought myself a new boarding jacket... i then got a little concerned after reading that my tyre size was unsuitable... the search function revealed one or two dead ended threads....
