Default Wheel chains vs. lug tires & weights?

Gotta a newbie type question, well 2 ?

I'm a stout type of guy & being 6'4" & weighimg 290lbs., i was just wondering?
(my other at times calls me a lard arse but thats another story). Sooooo;

When I put on my chains this Winter will wheel weights be needed even though i'm adding 290lbs. of weight?

Will rear lug type tires be better in snow & that would mean I could eliminate chains??

Well 3 questions.

If more weight is recomended by UZ, I have already thought about fabricating an attachment to my hitch, adding 3 or 4 25lbs. of weights. My Son-in-law offered his ole' free weights for this project.

Oh, oh, my Daughter came over yesterday & her husband is really getting into my new/old #109. We spent over an hour tinkering with it.

Thanks,

Nik
