Default Who knows about snow chains :o

So I need a set just in case this weekend. I had one from a few years ago, but I think it is missing some stuff.

So the ones I have look more or less like these:


Except the chains arent so much of chain links but like metal coils...whatever. But the red chain that is used to tighten the whole chain, I only have 2 of those. Are they only for 1 side of the wheel? Or do I need 2 for each wheel? If they are for both sides of the wheel, can I replace one side with bungee cords?
