I haven't tried a bunch of different ones, so you'll want other input. But I got some of [url "http://www.cabelas.com/product/Cabelas-Boot-Chains/721034.uts?Ntk=AllProducts&searchPath=%2Fcatalog%2Fsearch.cmd%3Fform_state%3DsearchForm%26N%3D0%26fsch%3Dtrue%26Ntk%3DAllProducts%26Ntt%3Dice%2Bcleats%26WTz_l%3DHeader%253BSearch-All%2BProducts%26x%3D20%26y%3D6&Ntt=ice+cleats&WTz_l=Header%3BSearch-All+Products"]these chain-type[/url] ones last year, and they've been great. And they're on sale again at Cabelas for $10.
There's the style with spikes, but what I found is most of the time you're on snow, of one flavor or another. I could see if you are on smooth slick ice - the spikes would probably work better.
But I also have a sled/tent - and didn't want to be poking the plastic with little points. The chains may be a little slippery on bare ice - but they do well the majority of the time.
