So are you thinking of just running summer rubber all year and stowing a set of chains in the back in case it snows? I don't know if you've ever driven on chains before, but you need A LOT of snow before chains become practical. How much snow do you expect?

To answer your question, you can do anything you want, but BMW still doesn't recommend that configuration. You don't like all seasons?

You need to check the state law as well.
