Chains should go well at extreme conditions on ice, but when you'll hit 
the tarmac or gravel (or even plain snow iirc), real winter tires can 
get you better grip. It's possible that we don't actually have the most 
extreme conditions here - at least often -, but I don't recall a single 
day from past 8 years (ie. while I've had a driver's license) that I'd 
even thinked of chains instead of winter tires.

Of course the suspension of the car itself makes a lot, too.
