Tire Chains

From Tire Rack, 

  1. Tire chains should be installed on the drive wheels of the vehicle following the chain manufacturer's instructions, To retain as much of the normal handling characteristics of 4WD/AWD vehicles as possible, tire chains should be installed on all four tires, requiring the purchase of two pairs of tire chains.

The owner's manual in the AWD section urges caution when driving in chains-required conditions, but does not provide any preference or prohibition other than to say excessive wheel spin can cause transmission damage.

 

This online Q&A and this article suggest chaining all four tires as long as the vehicle manufacturer does not prohibit it.

 

I just bought a 2015 AWD MKX, so if I buy chains, I'll buy two sets.

 

Good luck!
