Here is a quote from that article.

 

" The Liquid Tire Chain theory was sound. A control on the instrument panel activated a pair of aerosol canisters mounted above the rear tires that contained a chemical compound labeled Liquid Tire Chain Traction Improver. Inside the canisters was a space-age polymer ready to coat the rear tires and turn slip into grip. Press the button and presto! Evaporating solvent left a traction-improving chemical compound on the tires that resulted in instant winter traction, even on ice. Whether or not the system worked in practice is a matter of historical debate.

Interesting concept.  Be kind of neat to see that adapted into some sort of setup to go on the front tires of the tractors to see if it would make it steer better with a plow or blower on it

$20 worth of #40 roller chain wrapped around the center of the front tires is the concept I use, plus they last longer than a can of spray stuff. Works excellent!
