Hi Kuno,
In my message previously, I was quoting from the wartime British Army recovery book on non-skid chains, related to this particular type chain, the Parsons "Oriam" when it stated that they could be used on sand, mud, slippery grass, snow, ice, etc.
Having driven in desert conditions, I accept what you say, a non-aggresive tyre performs better, thus a chain would agravate the situation.
