Slow down.
poor traction
Chains increase the surface area which increases the friction so you gain traction.
Friction between the tire rubber and the road give traction.
Traction is the amount of grip that a tire gets on the road.
Concrete
I know farmers who fill their tractor tires with water to gain weight and traction. -Seems pretty silly to do that to a road tire though.

In 2011, there were 269 road deaths in Queensland, the third-highest road toll in any of Australia's states and territories. 16.7% of these were motorcyclists, and 45.8% were single vehicle crashes.
High traction road tires are the best.
The forces that occur between tyres and the road when a car brakes are traction and friction. Traction is the gripping of the tyre on the road, while friction is the force that occurs when two surfaces rub together.
