For your 2015 BMW 428i Gran Coupe, I recommend the Thule CG9 tire chains # TH00023100. They are easy to install as they automatically tighten and align as you drive. The built-in icebreakers provide superior grip and traction and the anti-scratch nylon bumpers will provide you great rim protection. The quick-release system is great because you can easily release the tension by pulling a lever.

Please be sure to check your Owners Manual for specific information on the use of tire chains. I have included a couple FAQ's for you.

Tire chains are typically rated for 30 to 40 miles per hour depending on the chain. The Thule CB12 chains, #TH01221102, are rated for 31 miles per hour. If you are in conditions where chains are required, going 40 miles per hour is not a good idea.…
