What are the best snow chains for a MINI Cooper?

I think I’m going to play it safe and get a set of snow chains before I head up north to visit my brother. I’ve never bought snow chains before, though. What are the best ones for a MINI Cooper?

It’s always good to be prepared! Depending on what MINI Cooper model you drive and the size of your tires, your best bet is to buy snow chains directly from the manufacturer. You can visit the MINI shop online and enter your tire size (ex: 175/65 R15, 175/60 R16, or 185/50 R17) to get the right-sized snow chains.

If you want to check out your options before you purchase MINI snow chains, here are a few other snow chains from reputable companies:

Konig Tire Chains: Diamond Pattern, Square Link, Self Tensioning
Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains: Diamond Pattern, Square Link
pewag Servo RS Tire Chains: Diamond Pattern, Square Links, Self Tensioning
Glacier Cable Tire Chains: Ladder Pattern, Roller Links, Manual Tensioning

Remember to check your tire size before you order snow chains!
