When tire chains are required due to weather, do I need chains for both the front and rear tires on my 2012 BMW X5, or just the rears?

Call your local highway department or state police as the rules may vary. I would think that your AWD vehicle would be exempt from tire chains. I've never seen the state police run tire chains on their AWD Tauruses. But I know semis are required to run chains at times and it's not fun putting them on/off.

Read your owners manual to see what BMW says about tire chains.
Some states require that you carry chains even if you have AWD.
