In my opinion no, at least I have never felt the need. To be truthful I have saw very few vehicles chained on all 4.
You say snow chains, when I think of chains my mind goes to plain old mud roads. And I am here to tell you and remind any one that has been pulling a piece of road when the mud is rolling up, you sure don`t need chains on the non pulling wheels. Chains will cause the front wheels to gather so much mud they will quit turning. If you have dug he mud out with a set of chains on you know what I mean.
I get a charge out of some people saying, you need chains on all 4 to help steering and braking. Think about this, be practical, speeds of 30 mile per hr is too fast with chains on, and if you happen to be paying for them you know for sure what I mean. If you replace the cross links, be sure to purchase WEED they are by far the best. At 30 MPH one can stop pretty quick, Steering is usually not too much of a problem, but use judgment.
I think the people that tell you to run 4 wheel chains, sell them, and or get paid for putting them on and taking them off.

Always on all the wheels. If its FWD, your back will slide uncontrollably. If it's RWD, you won't be able to steer.

i would put them on all four because when you go to brake they will help you stop, also more grip.
