The popularity of front wheel drive cars in the 1980s and all season tires mostly eliminated the sale and use of tire chains. By the 90�s the popularity of SUV�s, all wheel drive, and electronic computer managed traction control almost completely eliminated the need for tire chains.
The Ford Freestyle with all wheel drive is a pretty capable car in the snow, and if conditions are bad enough that you can�t get around, it may be time to stay home. Tires with more aggressive tread then the tires Ford provided might be a consideration. Otherwise, read your owner�s manual for recommendations regarding the use of chains. It may simply say you should never use chains, give you some basic pointers, or not address the topic. Assume that if the topic is not addressed, that Ford probably hasn�t recommended the use of tire chains since the death of the Country Squire wagon in the late 1980�s.

See page 189 in the owners manual:
"Use only SAE "S" class cables or equivalent on the front axles for P215/65R17 equipped vehicles."
There's more on page 189.
Probably because of either the ABS brakes would not know what to do as the tire size would be altered on the tires with chains or the traction control also. Problem would be with the control units and computers.
"All tire chains are used during the winter for traction. Some chains are designed to reduce the vibration from using them, others are used only on dirt because the will tear up the pavement because of the design. Then you have the chains designed to allow more steering control."
Yes, slaves were commonly chained as a method of restraint and control by slave owners or traders. Chains were used to prevent escape attempts and assert dominance over the slaves. Additionally, chains were also used during transportation of slaves from one location to another.
Snow chains give more traction.
Some zombies might wear chains if they were previously chained up to keep them confined, and they managed to break free.
the weight of the vehicle pushes the chains down into the ice for added traction
In general they are longer chained molecules.
Yes, tire chains increase traction on icy roads by providing additional grip between the tires and the road surface. This helps prevent slippage and enhances stability when driving in slippery conditions. Chains also improve braking and acceleration performance on icy surfaces.
The chains on tires reates traction, because it breaks the ice.
About 200 pounds for a semi's chains. The extra weight is more than counteracted by extra traction.
Tractor chains offer the highest security. By using chains in mud, snow and rocks - a person would receive better traction which enables to get the job done safetly.
Yes.
