Putting a single set of chains or cables on a dual tire setup will work OK on ice or hardpacked snow. If you start digging down, however, the tire without the chain/cable will begin taking weight and the traction on the chained tire goes away. As far as which is more effective: Werner Transportation runs only cables on their big trucks and by February that stretch of I-70 between Denver and Eagle, Colorado is pretty much paved with Werner iron! On grades like Vail pass, the Eisenhower Tunnel approaches, Red Mountain pass and the like cables don't have enough bite. Also, cables don't have the strength to transmit that kind of torque without failing when they do have bite.
