According to CalTrans:
“Chains are required on all vehicles except passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks under 6,000 pounds gross weight that are equipped with snow tires on at least two drive wheels. Vehicles using snow tires must still carry chains. All vehicles towing trailers must have chains on one drive axle, and trailers with brakes must have chains on at least one axle.”
