Groving may be cheap, atleast initial cost but once chunks fly and tire replacement is due how much savings is there? I may be wrong but the tires are made to specs for a reason, seems like an expensive gamble. Maybe I'm over thinking this, but I own excavators and sure have seen how they're tracks can lose chunks of rubber, they have less ground pressure.
Another thing you may try{not sure of your mechanical skills} that I have not seen mentioned is build your own. You may be able to find a used set for next to nothing and tweak that to fit or you could build from scratch. I have done this and saved myself lots of $$$'s. This works good for me because I only use the chains in winter, 3-4-5+ hundred dollars seems like a lot for occasional use.
