I was up in Tahoe over Christmas and it was snowing heavy on the way up. Chain control was in force but they let me go. BTW, X5 handled like a dream, no issues at all, of course I didn't try doing something crazy. I did not feel like it was necessary but it dosn't really harm if you have a pair lying in the back.

One issue that I noticed on the way back was that snow gets into the alloy wheels and sticks in there and messes up the balance. It felt really weird because of that, had to pull over and take the snow out of the wheels, then things were back to normal. I would recommend taking the snow out of the wheels before heading back.
