I used truck inner tubes filled with sand in the back for weight. In a
realy bad situation you had a ready source of tractionimprover.

Yep, if you dont have 4wheel drive I wouldnt chain up the front. If
you want traction all thru winter you dont want to have to keep
mucking with chains, off on decent days, back on when it turns bad.
Studs are the way to go unless you do some serious off-roading. Some
states have restrictions on what months you have to remove them.

Virginia made studs legal for a few years, and then outlawed
then again. AFIK, that is where the matter sits today.

Good Luck,
