Göran Torneback invented OnSpot - a refined application of a 1915 patent origianally granted to the American inventor named W.H. Putnam.

The Bluebird school buses in Clackamas Oregon has them I think
-
Can I put this on my Honda Civic?
-
If a link breaks, it will break while under the tire, leaving it on the roadway and not flying out at anyone or thing...This system works very well and is required on all school buses in my town...A great invention and sorry for your loss jtorneback...
-
@wmhauler25 okay. are they as good as normal chains?
-
I like how people are saying they don't work. Have you ever used them? They do work. They are not as good as real chains, but anything less than like 6 inches of snow and they work fine. And if you have a big truck with dual tires, you can run OnSpots on the inside wheel and put traditional chains on the outside wheel. Its a killer combination!

After see the motion, I think the chain may not last long in that rough situation~~
-
All very good, and a workable idea, but I wudn't wanna be the vehicle (or person) nearby when one the the chains broke off!... Jeeze, that WOULD hurt!!!... BADLY!!!...
-
Thank you for your comments. I wonder if the motion discrepancy is properly understood. Above all the dynamic friction coefficient is much lower than the static one.
-
I hope that they could understand that points of the tire tread are to differ in loci on the road surface from these of trodden pieces in the devices like Onspot or Rotogrip.

@noskidable trust me, OnSpot is far superior...
Have these on my truck...there awsome!!!
