It was discussed recently in another thread here on the site. I decided to do a little research and find out the legality of tire chains due to our recent ice issues here in Tennessee. I found a really good link that shows the laws of all states in regard to legally using tire chains. I was really glad to see that Tennessee still allows them for safe travel!

Winter Driving
Winter weather can create many driving hazards. Because of the usually mild
climate, most Georgians are not experienced in driving in winter weather. Here are
several suggestions to help you drive safely in winter weather:
Use chains or snow tires if road conditions require extra traction. Always
check the manufacturer’s instruction manual for your vehicle, the tires, and the
chains before installing them on your vehicle and operating on a roadway.
Keep windows clear. Remove snow and ice from all window surfaces before
operating the vehicle on a roadway.
When you fi rst enter the roadway, and if it is safe to do so, get a “feel” for the
road. Test your brakes gently. Determine how your vehicle will respond to
turning the wheel by making slight adjustments. Never apply sudden braking.
Instead, slow down gradually before you come to an intersection, make a turn,
or stop.
Keep a safe distance between you and other vehicles.
Reduce speed according to conditions.
Watch for hazards or changing road conditions ahead.
