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.

: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
