2015 BMW X5 Tire Chain Recommendation

Question:

I have a 2015 BMW X5 50i M Sport. 275/40/20 in front and 315/35/20 in the rear. Can I use the Thule K Summitt chains on all 4 tires or only the rear tires? Thanks!

The final authority on snow chain use for your 2015 BMW X5 M Sport will be the owners manual. In there it will be listed which tires should have chains installed. On most all wheel drive vehicles the rear axle is the one to use if only one set is desired.

The K-Summit chains part # TH02230K66 would the one to use on your 315/35/20 tires as well as the 275/40/20 that you have on the front.

The K-Summits are one of the nicest sets on the market because of how well they work, install, and require the least amount of clearance.

I attached an install video that shows these chains being installed on a similar X5 as yours.
