driving to the snow country (thredbo) on sunday for a week, and would like some suggestions on how to best use snow chains. I read with interest the recent "arguments" from both sides on whether to use chains or not when driving a 4wd, and I have sided with the "use it" camp. I figured the relatively inexpensive rental is a cheap investment to help me control my vehicle better on ice, if/when necessary.

i have a pajero nm and would like some suggestions on the following. I'm sticking to bitumen during the trip and have no plans to foray off-road. My first time to drive in the area so any input will be greatly appreciated.

1. if driving on 4wd high range, should the chains go on the front tires or the back?

2. is locking the center diff necessary even with chains on? any issues with transmission wind-up?

thanks in advance forumites!!
