2007 BMW X3 E83 Tire Chain Recommendation Size 225/65-17

Question

Question:

Hi, Im running BFG KO2s at 225/65R17, would the Titan Chain Snow Tire Chains - Ladder Pattern - Twist Links - 1 Pair, Item # TC1142 be recommended to fit on the rear wheels given the clearance and wheel well width? Thanks.

The Titan chains part # TC1142 that you referenced do fit the tire size 225/65R17 that you have. These are Class S compatible which means you only need 15 mm of clearance between the tire sidewall and the frame. This is most likely enough clearance but I would recommend checking the owners manual of your vehicle to determine if that would be enough. For maximum clearance the best set is the Konig K-Summit Chains part # TH02230K66. These actually don't go over the sidewall at all so they don't require any clearance. These for sure would work.

The issue would be the clearance requirements of the chains and the interference it may cause but we do have some really low clearance options that can work great or these situations but I would need to know what size tires you have.
