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.
