You drive an E36 BMW w/snows… dude you don’t need chains omg. I am driving my E36 M3 with all seasons for crying out loud and am not worried, this is western ny not northern canada… EDIT: I see you have your answer. Also got enough flaming to realize chains are not needed lol. ---

i drove my bmw through the winter and it wasnt alsways fun. I got stuck in numerous situations. chains woulda been nice. However once i through 300+ lbs of sand in the trunk i hardly had any issues. If you want chains go for it. i highly doubt you will get pulled over in shitty ass snow conditions for runnin chains, just dont run them 24/7. ---

[/quote] :word:… I’m going to be getting some weight in the back soon. I was just figuring chains would be helpful because I park on the side of the road in Buffalo where it becomes near impossible to break out of once the plow drives by. My commute to school is about 5 min on surface roads (no highway). Chains would be useful once in a while. Other than that of course I wouldn’t use them all the time. Thanks for all the input everyone, even the numbskulls that just wanted to come in and tell me what an idiot I am. \<3 ---

They’re good to have at times. Most cars can only have cable chains which aren’t that good. V-bar chains are best but they are heavy and expensive ~$100 per pair. ---
