Snow Chains and Snow Socks for BMW 3 series four door saloon 1983 to 1991 with 205/55-15 tyres
We specialise in high-quality snow chains and snow socks designed for winter driving in the UK and across mainland Europe. Whether you're heading to the Alps for a ski holiday or preparing for sudden snow at home, choosing the right product for your vehicle is essential.
Snow chain fitting information is TBC.
We have not yet been told which chains may safely be used on this vehicle. We are listing all the snow chain options for this tyre, but please double check your vehicle handbook to see whether the use of snow chains is permitted.
Note that any of the 'Ladder track chains' in our list may be used even if your handbook tells you that snow chains may not be used - the handbook will be referring to 'Traditional chains' which also place chain on the inside of the tyres, which is where there can be insufficient space to fit chains.
