Hey all I did a search but couldn't find any info on this topic. I am headed up to the snow and thought it would be a good idea to make sure I had chains--but apparently they don't make any that fit my sized tire...say what?!

Has anyone found something that has worked? I have the 20" 310 wheels with the 275/35 (10") rear wheels.

Thanks in advance.

Have a look at THULE XG-12 Pro. Looks like they are available for 275/35 20" tires (Snow chain size 247). Note. Make sure you check inside clearance etc.

I have the TRAK AUTO n°217, and they are very well.

I have the same wheels and have ordered two sets of Thule Summit XL -K45. Had a trial fit prior to a trip to the Alps in a few weeks and they were incredibly easy to put on. Not cheap though!

Hey everyone,
I’m looking to buy a set of second-hand König K-Summit XL snow chains. The seller used them on a BMW X3 with 275/40 R20 tyres, but my X3 F25 has 275/35 R20 (rear). I’ve checked the König fitment chart, and it looks like K45 might be the right match for mine, not the XL.

Sorry I have no experience with this,
Can anyone confirm if the XL version would still fit safely, or should I avoid it and only go for the exact size listed (like K45)? Appreciate any insights!

Thanks in advance
