How do u rate the k-summits ?

SixShotEspressO · 01-24-2012, 04:49 PM

Chains only on the rears huh? No prob. steering? VERY interested in feedback on this setup as I am soon to move to Washington State with my own 335d.

We need videos of how our cars are in the snow. I just want to know if I wasted my money on winters or not.

You could put front chains, but if your really stuck in snow, you cant put them on because they are self centering and the d isnt x drive. the chains are really just for going up hills, and only go on the driven wheels

Can you tell me what the tyre and K Summit Sizes are?

I have the 255/30/19 wheels and am thinking of Snow Chains for a trip to the alps. i am thinking K34 for the 19 inch wheels but web sites are telling me different stories. Also do the standard nut adapters fit that come with the chains?

Lots of questions i know!

Thanks

Professor///M · 02-05-2012, 11:39 PM

beautiful 335. Now go get rid of those orange reflectors!

RoundelM3 · 02-06-2012, 07:48 AM

What's all that white stuff all over your car and the ground?

if you go on the thule website you can put your stock car tire size to get the right model. im not sure what size will fit the 19's. just play around with different cars and find the right one
