You can click on the link provided to see all stock tire sizes for your 2014 BMW X6; these stock sizes are 255/50-19, 275/40-20 and 315/35-20. Check your tires' sidewalls for their size and then just click on that size to see suitable chains. Also it is always a good idea to review your owner's manual for any guidance or restrictions regarding use of tire chains. Some vehicles are limited to special low-profile S-Class chains.

I recommend chains that include assisted or automatic tensioning since these are much easier to install. Chains that are easier to put on will actually get used and so will actually help you. Chains that are tough to install tend to sit in the trunk. I suggest the Thule K-Summit D-Link chains, part # TH02230K66, since they feature automatic tensioning and alignment. Place the chain on top of the tire, attach to wheel nut or bolt and drive off - chains tighten and center on the tire as the wheels spin.

Please refer to the linked video for more on these chains and to the linked article for general tire chain information.
