I put front chains on two weeks ago and the traction is much improved. Already had rear chains and R1's but on side slopes when backblading the snow, the front tires wouldn't bite enough to pull the front end up the incline. They do now. $125 for ladder links cross chain every two links. Well worth it and I don't buy the added stress issue. On snow even with chains there will be some slip but I AM careful NOT to have the wheels turned "lock to lock" when pulling a heavy load. If you're going straight the differential doesn't come into play as much and it just chsugs along.
Re driveway marking - You shouldn't be slipping your tires too much, if you are you're trying to go to fast and stressing the **** out of anything. I pull a 7 foot blade and in 5th gear I can plow up hill without spining or marking the driveway.
