Is this the recommended chain for a 2012 BMW 328i with 255-50R 17 tires?

I agree with TCSC. Check out the website www.scc-chain.com for the sizing chart and comparing their various products of this design. I briefly went through it. One additional suggestion, when you get to where one enters tire size it is easiest of you enter only the first 3 numbers. Then from that search select your exact tire size.

You need to check their fitment guide (is also in their catalog). The size numbers they use for a given tire size are hard to figure out without the guide. But this is a good type of chain for using your car in deep snow. If the snow is not deep you need definitely need to keep it under ~35 mph to avoid excess noise and vibration. But that's probably true with all chains.

Those tires you mentioned are too big for the size I bought. The chain is great for your application, just get the right size. ( see the manufacturer size chart)

I would guess, I use my with AE MGT 4.0 I needed to get a shaft piece for my so I can get better choice tires. I love these for the price and ride great

Check out this video from Security Chain Company's website http://www.scc-chain.com/tire-chain-finder/traction-product-choices/radial-chain/#video. Personally, for my vehicles, I find it a bit easier to "jack " the wheel in which I am working on. This allows me to snug up the chain without the interference of the pavement. Because the chains cover a multitude of tire sizes, this might make it easier or harder for your installation. My truck was the largest tire size that the chain covered, so I have to fight a little bit to make the connections (jacking the wheel helps allot here!). My car is on the opposite end of the scale, so it is rather easy. I strongly recommend these chains for their value. I own 3 sets of these chains for all my vehicles.

It should be, have a look at http://drivinglaws.aaa.com/laws/tire-chains/ When using tire chains, be sure that the conditions require them. Don't drive around with tire chains on if the roads are bare and you probably shouldn't be on the interstate with them. Only use them in the most demanding conditions.

Look at your tire size, ex. 20x10-8; then go to the Security Chain Co. website and lookup the part number for the chains that fit that tire size; search that part number on Amazon...bingo!

Hi Joseph. I originally bought the 9800500 size chains to use on my PT Cruiser, which has 205-55x16 tires. (A little shorter and wider than yours but pretty similar.) They were really, REALLY tight and a pain in the ass to put on. I recently bought a new set and went one size larger, I think they're 9800600. They are much easier to put on and still fit nice and snug. If I need to replace them again that's what I'll get. And another word of advice for you - I find that these chains work well but you want to be careful to always avoid spinning the wheels. I was trying to climb a steep hill in very icy conditions that were just too much for the chains to cope with. The wheels spun, the car slipped sideways just a few feet and that caused the chain on one wheel to slide off to the inside of the wheel. It got torn up on the suspension, no damage to the car but that's why I bought the new set. Obviously, I like them enough to buy a new set but I'll be more careful with them now and I'd recommend everyone else should be too. Tom

According to the tire size selector at tirerack.com these are the standard size tires that would come on your vehicle. As far as being compatible performance-wise, they should be fine. I have these tires on my 1996 BMW 328i-sport and I'm satisfied with their performance especially at their price. Hope this helps, and your mileage may vary.

I went with the nnr coilover. It's the shock and spring combo. Nnr is the sister company to the coilovers all the bmw's ride on. They are inexpensive and respond incredibly well. I have eibach sway bars and nnr shocks and coilovers. I have had them for about 10,000 miles and they are perfect comers at 75-80 mph are no sweat the tires barely start to squeal. Great buys!!

70005 is practically identical to the BMW Mobility Kit found in some BMW's. It injects both the slime and air through the hose all in one step. 70004 requires you remove the valve stem core, inject the slime, and then inflate the tire. Note that the "heavy duty" compressor requires a 15A fuse on your cigarette lighter else you'll have to clip it directly to the battery. 40013 is pretty much the same as 70004, but with a smaller bottle of slim, a lower power compressor, and no plugs. Personally I have the 40013 and a plug set in my Z4, but thankfully I've never had to use it.

The ones I purchased are on Carlisle turf-saver tires and they worked great this past week when we had a foot of snow. They performed just as well as the chains I used last winter but don't leave any marks like the metal chains did.

Hello, your BMW requires a mid offset (15-25), these wheels are a +45 and would sit too close to the vehicle and likely would not work. Would you like to see a list of wheels we can get posted to Amazon for purchase? -TOm

Yes, I have a BMW 328xi and have had no problems with my tire pressure sensors. It also states that it is safe to use on cars with these type sensors on the box.

Go to the Security Chain Company website and determine what chain fits your vehicle (you'll need your tire size) then, order from Amazon. Hope this helps.Joe

You will have to the chain company about a specific chain for your tire and rim combination. The selection of chains can not be made from the vehicle model since tires vary from one vehicle to the next, even with OEM equipment. Be careful what chains you purchase for use in your area of the country. There are restrictions on the class or type of chain you can use in some areas. The chains shown with the cross chains in the illustration are good for most applications and will work well to get you out of trouble but they may expand over the tire and damage the vehicle. Check your vehicle manufactures specification for applicable types of chains and what their recommendation is.

You have to click on the ZT735 description and it should tell you what size TIRES that it fits. The rim size is slightly irrelevant as the tire is what makes up the total diameter and circumference. The cable chain is attached to the tire not the wheel. You can also google tire size - diameter and find the actual diameter for each size tire if needed.

I have a 4x4 diesel with 285/75R16 tires and the chains fit with room to spare for a wider tire that you have. I have not had a chance to actually drive on them seeing as how I have 4x4 with an aggressive tread pattern for the snow.
