Eli5: why you should go slow with snowchains and does it matter if there are winter tires or all weather ones underneath and why you should keep wheels spinning in deep snow(and maybe in mud etc.)?

Question

**E: I ment the last one without chains, sorry!**

If you drive faster than recommended the chains can break and F up your car badly.

Also if you need chains the conditions are bad enough you should go slow for that reason alone.
