No, there is a chain from one vehicle that the end is hooked around the tire. Another chain from the other vehicle gets hooked around the other side of the tire. The tire acts like a rubber band. And to prevent anything with a hook from flying up into the air, point the open end of the hook...

If you are using chain is should be suited to the application. You do not get a chain rated for 16,000lb breaking strength and use it to move 16,000 lbs. You should select the chain grade and size depending on the working load limit. Grade 43 5/8 chain has a 13,000lb WLL. 5/8 grade 70 has a...
