There had been such offerings in the past and they have not lasted. Such chains may be attractive for a persistent heavy snow but with this they can only appeal to a very small fraction of the consumer market. They will make riding on asphalt tough and be then quite detrimental to the tires. On ice patches one is primarily concerned with sideway slip and they might not help much there. Finally, there might be an issue of these chains interfering with rim brakes.
