Anyone know first hand using snow cables instead of snow chains?

The ad stated they are lighter, cheaper, and easier to install than chains.

TIA

For car or truck - very good results with “Z” cables. many cars do not have the clearance for chains. For tractors? - not aware of any use.

Haven't owned "snow cables" but my concern would be that they would get tangled up when not in use, and be a b**** to put on the 2nd time. (kind of like excess cable on a come-a-long that always want to get tangled up)
