The best tire chains for your 2022 BMW X1 are going to be the Konig Easy Fit Tire Chains item # TH04115240. The chains are Class S rated, which means they are specifically designed for vehicles like your X1 that have limited wheel well clearance to work with.

These are super easy to install too. All you will need to do is drape the chains over the tire, connect the rear cables together on the back side of the tire, then press down the locking mechanism with your foot to tension them. The chains are self-tightening therefore will fully secure themselves onto the tire as you pull away.

I have linked an installation video below so you can see how to get these chains set up. I highly recommend practicing installing these if you are not familiar with tire chains.
