I respectfully disagree. Chain up the fronts first, then if needed, put a pair on the rears also. If you only chain up the rears, you'll get understeer.
CliftonRover is right on about clearance- make sure your chains fit correctly so they don't damage your vehicle. The best way to do this is test- fit before you really need them. Once you have chains installed, drive a short ways, then tighten. Repeat as necessary.
Good luck!
