ice chains all the way!! i just put a new set of ring chains  on the back of my skidder a few days ago, lots of traction in the snow but rough as hell on the road that i plow.  i am actually thinking of taking them off and putting a set of ice chains on instead because  of the amount of plowing that i do.

Can you? Sure
Should you? No, they will tear the chain and the pavement up rather quickly.

Ditto! Not good on pavement, unless pavement has a thick layer of ice or a protective mat over it. ;)
