Sometimes we simply use chains. And we also call them chains. Cheers.

"chains" or "snow chains" -- "spikes" usually refers to tires that have metal spikes built into them. You can buy spikes that can be attached like chains, but they are rarely used outside of industry.

I agree with Douglas.
In Canada, we generally call them snow chains.
