What are the best snow chains for a BMW X3?
I’ll be taking a holiday road trip soon, and even though my BMW has all-wheel drive, I’d like to have some chains ready for the mountain passes. I’ve heard that not all sizes of BMW tires can take chains, though. Do you know what the best snow chains are for a BMW X3?

You’re wise to be prepared, as
driving in the snow
can be dangerous and scary, especially if you’ve never done it before. The best snow chains for a
BMW X3
are ones made by BMW for your size of tire. You’re correct in that not all sizes of BMW X3 tires are compatible with snow chains, and using the wrong size or type of snow chains can cause serious damage to your undercarriage and wheel wells. BMW sells several kinds of snow chains specifically designed for Bimmers, so your best bet is to talk to your dealership and have them help you find the perfect fit. Good snow chains might cost a few hundred dollars, but it’s worth it — going unprepared can lead to serious trouble.
Make sure you’re comfortable with
putting the chains on your tires
before you hit the road and know what to do if you get stuck in the snow
