Yea, if you frequently need chains, but not all the time (say for ice), there's the spider style. It uses a hub that bolts onto your lugnuts, and the gripper is like a hubcap that latches into the hub putting plastic fingers with studs over the tires.

Then there's the mash material type - the tire sock. Postal service delivery vehicles use them in town. They don't damage the road. Pretty easy to put on, easy to stow.
