Hey All,

I could use your advice. I live in Washington, DC/Northern Virginia and we hardly get snow, maybe a few light snows a year. I am getting the X5 with 20" wheels and there is only the option of the summer perfomance tires.

I really don't want to get a winter wheel set because I don't think it is worth it, never has been needed in my 15 years here. I am thinking of maybe having chains for emergencies. Is that a good idea? How do they work?

Any input would be appreciated.
