Ladder style tractor chains are also known as "Road Chains" or Roadmaster because they are less likely to damage hard surfaces. Designed for on and off-road use.
They are recommended for use on worn tires. Good on pavement or concrete, and are designed for faster speeds. They are more of a traditional turf style tire chain.
Roadmaster chains are not recommended for deep lug tires, since the cross chain will tend to settle between the tread lugs.
