Rubber tire chains
I came across a 122 for sale on craiglist with a set of these on it. I guess they would be easy on sealed asphalt but I wonder how much traction they really have. Anyone tried these?

Re. Rubber tire chains.
Sir that is the first time I have ever seen a set of "Rubber tire chains". Do you want the 122? If you do buy it and if the chains do not work buy some steel ones. Some people get very excited over there driveway. I do not. They were made to drive on. Good luck on the 122.

I was thinking about making something like this!
My 102 spins alot with the thrower on, has old reenforced auto chains, rips into the asphalt, ticks off the wife... I did try to do my neighbors drive and got stuck on his short driveway(downhill). He had his drive sealed last summer and I can see the marks I left on it. I would love to try these out but $127? ouch!

For $130, I would spend the money on Ag tires. I cannot imagine that these would grip much better than Ags. One of the main reasons to have steel chains is for ice and compacted snow, I doubt these rubber chains will break through the ice, and for that much money, I would much rather have buy a set of Ags. Just my opinion.

I can't imagine those working any better than lug tires without chains. The metal chains are needed to dig into the ice. Those aren't going to dig into the ice. Scratches in the driveway are the price we pay for being able to clear it easily. Asphalt driveways should be sealed every year anyway, so the marks will be covered up when you do that. I don't see what the big deal is.
Edit: Looks like dieselsnowmobile had the same idea as me, but types faster.

I agree with Matt. My neighbors didn't like the marks either, until they had to dig out of the 1st 24"+ storm last year. I'm thinking of asking the driveway sealer guy for a cut or doing mine for free.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
