Looking ahead to the winter, and without inadvertently starting a tire
thread, does anyone have thoughts on running tire chains or cables on top
of snow tires?

My bus is a regular old 2WD, and it does okay in the snow with badass
Vredestein Transport snow tires plus 100lbs. of tube sand in the back.
However, I do a lot of driving in Vermont, and I can remember at least one
particularly hairy night last year when the blacktop was frozen, the snow
was falling fast, and I would have loved to have chains to make it the
last twenty miles home without visiting a ditch.

Has anyone used chains?  Tirerack.com has some blurb about how chains
should never be used over snow tires; can anyone elaborate?

Best,
