Hi Barbel,
I have a set of chains as well but did not need them. The tyres work well enough without them and I only suspect that I would need chains in extreme gradients with hard ice. I did plenty of driving in heavy snow last winter with no problems at all.
Those pics were taken after the snow had melted and I was just testing traction in mud. The tyres I have are rated for mud and snow (M&S) and are designed for road temps below 7C. I fitted them in November and changed back to my summer tyres at the end of May.
Lastly I cannot comment on tyre wear as I only did about 3000km in them and really cannot see any wear. They are quite a soft compound so I would say Yes, they would wear fast in hot weather.
