Chains Required!
I was out recently playing in the snow, and actually came across an area that required chains, even if you had AWD with snows on....Well I didn't have chains (or snow tires for that matter), so I had to turn around. I have never had any problems with the X3 in the snow, even with the sport package. So, do I buy Spike Spiders for the Sport wheels for the 3-times-a-year-this-happens? or a set of 17's w/snows to run chains? Thanks, TikiGod |

You can probably only run chains on the smaller wheels (not as wide) so you don't rip up the fender wells.

Well, basically I found out that there are 4 levels of regulations:
1: Carry Chains or Traction Tires 2:Chains (required for 2WD and/or certain traction tires) or Traction Tires (AWD) required 3: Chains required on all vehicles 4: Road closed to all traffic So, it seems like I would have to get non-sport wheels and dedicated snows even to use chains, because I can't keep the Sport Wheels and use chains. So, it looks like Winter Wheels for me! TikiGod |
