I have a set of them, and they were quite a bit cheaper when I bought them, I think right around $100. They are definitely better than nothing, but not as good as regular chains. I only ever used them on gravel, never tried on pavement. I also never had wheel weights with them, but I imagine they would help a lot. They are near useless on ice, but work ok otherwise. I have used them for 3 seasons, and it seems like each year they work less and less. It didn’t take long at all for them to start wearing down. Maybe they would last longer on pavement. We had one heavy snow this year, and with them on my 1450, I wasn’t going anywhere. After that, I put a set of regular chains on my 125, and with wheel weights, it’s a night and day difference. We have not had a heavy snow yet to try them, but I did try pushing back some piles left over from the last storm, and it did a great job, even on ice. I don’t think I would have been able to do that with the traction belts.
