i have never seen or heard of chains being used in mud or dirt.

I've never personally know anyone who's used chains offroad, but they're used on heavy logging equipment to improve traction - and skidders are already running gonzo tires!
Here's an intersting article on the use of tire chains in the mud: http://www.rockcrawler.com/departments/landcruiser/qna/qna020198a.htm
