I mean, it's a cool concept, and I could see it working as something you could turn on to get moving after losing traction in the snow, then turn off. As a replacement for continuous use snow chains though... well you would make the tired several times more expensive, and tires aren't cheap to being with, and they will likely fail before the winter is done with.
