I think it depends on a lot of things. Do you have rear tires with a lot of tread? If you do, regular cross chains will get down between the bars and you don't get the full advantage of the chains. I use cross chains on my Ford 2N and it has nearly new Firestone Field and Roads on the rear. I put the chains on, tighten them good just once, and then as they loosen up a little bit, about every third cross chain will lay up over a tread bar and this seems to be enough.
However, having said that, my next set will be double rings; we always used those on the farm and they will do the job no matter what the conditions. If you do much road driving, the double rings are definitely not ideal.
With all due respect to Hugh's post below: I don't know where in Maryland you live but I've spent a couple of nights in motels in Maryland when I had to get off the road because of weather. And I do imagine that you will have frozen ground at times. Contact tirechains.com and look over there selection.
But-that's my $.02 and I'm trying to be helpful. As I said, for my situation here on the NY/PA border, where I use the Ford for a little bit of snow clean up and then for getting up to my woods, I'll definitely go with double rings when I get a new set.
