    I've never used chains on my 4x4 either, but I could see where they would be helpful in very slick conditions. They may not be needed to get you going, but they could help you with stopping traction. I've heard that on a 4x4 you should put the chains on the front wheels where the weight of the engine will help with traction. I've never tried it, but it sounds logical.

    I didn't even realize TN got snow let alone had the need for chains :confused:. We get quite a bit of snow here in upstate NY but I've never seen anyone use chains. I'm not even sure they are legal to use here.
