If you need chains, the chains fall in between the tread bars, so no.
Cad, Everyone knocks the 4-link tire chain. Says the 2-link is so much better. Well I've seen around how nice a 4-link fits a bar tread tire. Not quite the bar chain, but looked to have worked out very well.

But truth be told, metal chains will bite the ice and give you push-power. No tire will do that with out chains. But there is always compromise,.... as in keeping up with your snow work during times of heavy down fall, and what you have for grade in your drive. Having a safe amount of wheel weight and or tire ballast is important also. These factors can help decide what you would need to run with.
