The type of chain will depend upon your intended use, but I think the best all around is the double link, for the cost. Good traction on ice, and real good in mud and snow. In my experience, they do not cause damage to asphalt driveways. The only thing better in mud or snow is Canadian (ring) chains, but they are EXTREMELY dangereous on ice. The double ring chain do not fall into the lugs. If you have long bar-short bar tire tread, a lot of chain in a H pattern (duo grip) will fall between the bars (not a problem on the long bar- long bar tire tread). The diamond pattern ice chains are really good on ice and frozen ground, but I won't go to the extra expense unless I was using the tractor in the woods a lot.
