Dave: Everyone has an opinion on chains, yet most of us try and work with what we have. I'd get rid of those rubber straps and loosen the side chains one link. I've run just about every imaginable configuration of wheel chain going. Over the years I only found one benefit in having chains tight, that being for operating at higher speeds. If your chains are loose enough so the center of cross chain picks off the ground about 4 to 6 inches behind tire when travelling, then every rotation each cross chain will come out of treads. Your never going to completely eliminate chain getting in treads, just give it a chance to come out. Having said this, the old 45 degree tire tread work much better on chains also, chains don't get in treads near as much.
