We have new Titan long bar/short bar tread, and we still use chains on them. Had to add a few (I think 10) links after new tires though because we cut the extra off when it just whipped around w/ the old tires.
There are 2 types of chains, 1 style just has the cross chains an nothing linking the crosses together, and the 2nd has every 2 cross chains held together w/ 2 links about 1/3 of the tread width in on both sides. The 1st kind works ok for worn or turf tires, but they fall in the grooves of new tires, and almost never touch the ice like they're supposed to. The 2nd kind holds the chain above the tread and really helps dig in.

P.S. If you have the 1st kind, you could try them, but would probably be better off selling them and buying the other kind
