A good set of cable chains properly tightened will allow over 20mph
with considerably less jaw rattling than normal chains. Not that it
is particularly a good idea to be doing much over 20 if the road is
bad enough to need chains on a 4x4. Only thing I hate about studs
is that you can't quickly pop them in when you need them, then
remove them on the dry stuff.

well, studs are noisier to be sure, but then, i
only run them in the winter months. this year in
upstate NY was pretty stupid idea (no snow, WTF?)
but in the summer i run BFG Mud-Terrains, and
they're a bit noisier than the studs.
any particular reason you wouldn't want to run
studs on dry pavement? keep in mind i'm not
familiar with driving out west, if that makes a
difference.
