You can chain up studded tires. Your only problem is that tires with deep, lugged treads are more difficult to stretch chains around, since the chains get caught in the lugs. I use cable chains, which can be driven on at higher speed, are lighter and work just as well under most circumstances. Of course, preferences vary.
Conventional wisdom says that studs go on all 4 tires, never two. Chains go on all drive wheels. And don't forget that you can have studs added to tires once you reach Russia, if that's what you want.
Of course, preferences--like mileage--varies. Hope that's helpful.
