Driving/Drivers

On a recent weekend in the wilds of PA, we needed to install tire chains on three vehicles, all 4wd/awd. Most were of the opinion that it was best to chain the front wheels, but discussion ensued on the advisibility of placing one chain on the front and one on the opposite side rear wheel. All drivers made it out though one of the vehicles w/ 2 front chains lost rear wheel traction and slide sideways at one point. The vehicle w/ one front/one rear had no problem.

Any word from people who have tried one front/one rear chain is appreciated.
