I never experienced anything like that with my bicycle but with the car, under snow conditions, police stopped me twice and checked for chains available on board, nobody however checked whether chains where the ones correct for that specific car!!
Never heard of chains being for specific cars - the ones we have are adjustable to fit and would fit most family cars without issue. They are however a bugger to fit on anything.
With the adoption of disc brakes shouldn't it be possible to have some sort of 'chain' or wrap for bikes instead of having to change tyres?
