Buy chains that are the correct size for the tires. A proper fit is key to receiving the desired performance and durability. Do not deflate tires to install tire chains. A correctly sized tire chain will fit over a properly inflated tire. Additionally, because there is typically no source of compressed air to refill a deflated tire, driving with low tire pressure may cause permanent damage to the tire. Snow chains may not be available for all tire sizes.
So, there is no definite answer to the question.

They can chew up the rubber when used on dry, hard road surfaces. The chains are designed to dig into and gain traction on snow and ice. No snow, no cushion, so the links dig into the tire.

Yes!!! In most cases you should not need snow tires or chains if your tires are in good condition. It is a matter of good driving skills.
I have driven for 51 years in blizzard and wet conditions and have never been stuck no have I lost control.

Only if you use them when there is no snow around.

they can if used all the time. put them on for the very worse conditions, then remove when conditions are better and your tires will be o.k.
