For your non-standard 2021 BMW X5 tire size of 315/30-22, BMW does not recommend using tire chains with these specific sizes. However, many car manufacturers make these kinds of recommendations in order to wash their hands of any liability if any damage occurs to components inside the wheel wells.

With that being said, the absolute safest (and only) option we carry for your tire size is the Konig Premium Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - K-Summit XXL # TH2004565767. The reason why these are the safest is because they do not install anywhere on the interior tire sidewall (thus not needing any minimum internal clearance). The chains also come with 19 mm and 21 mm to 22 mm lug nut adapters. The Konig Premium chains not only come with self-tensioners that take the headache out of adjusting for snugness, they also come with icebreaker studs for superior traction.

It is important to note that per BMW, I recommend installing these chains on rear tires only.
