Question:
I cant find my tire size listed for a new 2011 BMW X3, tire size 245/50 18. I would like the Glacier V Trac cables.

The only Glacier brand snow chains we have available, at this time, for the 245/50-18 tire size are the Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains, item # PW1042.
For better traction I would use the Konig # TH01594245 chains with the much more superior diamond pattern that handles better with braking and cornering. The are also self tensioning which is super helpful benefit.
Both of these choices are S-class for narrow clearance wheel wells.
Check your Owner's Manual for any restrictions or requirements.
