Perhaps, but I'd rather do the other 220 miles or so at 80 mph and have to chain up then do the 220 miles at 65, in less comfort, and still have to go 30 for the remainder. 
I grew up in Colorado so chaining up is a foreign concept to me, but @ 80 mph avg the trip would be 2 hours and 45 minutes and @ 60 mph avg it would be about 3 hours and 40 minutes. So is an extra hour worth not having to stop and install chains?
I drive my rig from WA to Moab and the Rubicon around 65 mph so it can be done. If you were going farther then it might be worth the trade, but over an hour?
