Get good chain tighteners!! That keeps the chains from flopping around and doing damage to your vehicle. Also...if there is an extra links on the inside fastner loop...tie them up so they don't damage anything like a brake line. I put my chains over the tire first then drive over them. It's easier than laying them out, driving over then having to pull a heavy chain up the tire to fasten. I basically get them fitted before driving over them. Years and years of using chains in snow and bitter cold have taught me to do it quick so I don't freeze my arse off.
