Never understand how chains would work. Spikes are easy to understand, but wouldn't chain, being smooth iron as it is, makes the wheel lose even more grips on ice ?

Compared to unchained tires, they're still rougher.

My guess is, it's something more than smooth iron surface. With chains on the wheels, the contact surface area between chains and ground becomes smaller. The weight of the car focuses on the small area, producing relatively larger pressure, which locally temporarily melts the ice; then the chains act as spikes. That's why one shouldn't drive too fast when chains are on.
Or, the chains act like paddles.
Anyway, even with chains or spikes, driving on snow or ice is still risky; surely unsuitable for subtropical residents like me.
Let's run, get it!Yu! I get it!Can't take it easy like this..Yu? It's slippery!What should I do now?Yuaah! Don't go away!Don't get it-!Che-ns have been tied properly!On ice, you could put on snow chains.
