Installing tire chains...?

Question:
I have a front wheel drive minivan. When installing chains, is it necessary (or a good idea) to install on the rear wheels as well?

Answers:

Does putting your car in free gear reduce control during braking?

I assume you are using the chains on severely icy surfaces. If this is the case it will help you stop better if they are on all 4 wheels. I run snow tires on all 4 wheels on my 2 wheel drive vehicles for better turning traction and stopping traction.

Light Cars and lots of rain don't make a good mix?

Chains will work the same way, BUT they are enough of a pain that I would not likely run them on all 4 wheels unless it is an emergency run to a hospital or something. Better to stay home until the roads are fit to drive on.

i think all auto manufacturers should be required to install alcohol detectors in their cars...maybe that?

No. Chains are just for temporary extra grip on the driving wheels.
