Question still stands: Do I need them on all four?
Is there a place (online) where I can find them?

One point - even if the main roads going up like 50 and 89 are well plowed, you cannot count on that in the neighborhoods in and around Tahoe. Plus most are up some pretty steep hills and then you still have to get into their driveway many of which are not flat. If there is snow up there you will be in serious trouble with 285 summer tires on there. Trust me. I'm not even sure if you can find chains that big. Chains should go on the back of an X5 since it is RWD biased.
Maybe a quick search on CL for some 17" take-offs with all season tires is in order?
I have a set of X3 18x8 nearly new OEM wheels that I would sell you for $450 if you can find tires, but Im in San Jose so need to figure out how to get them up there if that is of any interest. PM me if so.
Or just rent an SUV, but looking at a few options for rentals and you could probably get a set of wheels / tires for similar cost to a weekly SUV rental around here. They really get you for those this time of year.
