Tire Chains

Well, we'll be in the Allegheny Mountains from the end of November. I understand we can have impressive snow at that time. I currently have 315/75-16 Maxxis Bighorns on the truck and a set of 265/75-16 Winterforce tires ready for the ice in NJ when we get it.
 
Have any of you used chains and if so, what size tire? I am trying to decide whether to keep the Bighorns on for the trip 9which would probably mean no chains due to their size) or switch to the snow/ice tires and get a set of chains of the really bad stuff (if we get it).
 
Found some mention of chains in my search, but didn't read of anyone's experiences.
 
Thanks

Uhhh...it only snows like a 1/2 a year here, but from what i've read in various magazines, mud tires are really not good in snow at all, if that's what you have on now. I guess it's cuz they self clean? IDK much a/b snow driving.  

we get alot of snow here,but i always run bfg all terrains and have never had a problem

This is off subject but man would i love to blow a few doughnuts in a snowy field. Or my neighbors yard.  

I bought a set of HD truck chains at Checkers for my 35-75-16's BFG MT's.  I have not used them yet but am sure they will definitely not fit on the fronts. The rear should work.
