NYC Weather/Snow ?

[Tio///M]

Hey New Yorkers, I'm curious to know how bad it gets at the end of January? I'm flying up there from Miami to pick up an X5 4.8i with the 20'' wheels Sport Pack. Need to know how bad the snow gets and if I should get snow chains? Anyone with a X5 please chime in or if anyone can give me a good idea of what to expect.

I'm thinking I probably should get chains but would like to know how the highways are, since I'll be driving back down to Miami around that last weekend in January. TIA for any info....

Hey, it is snowing now. I would not worry about chains. I have an x5 will all season tires and can get around fine. Generally the roads are clear within hours on any major storm. Unless you are in the middle of a huge snow storm and not familiar with driving in the snow, I would go for it.

Thank you very much, it gives me a good peace of mind when a local gives me legit info. Thanks again Happy New Year!!!!!!!!

come on up... you'll have fun in the snow...

i never put on chains on any of my trucks... always kept the all seasons on..

i also have OEM 214 20s but not with the run flat tires... all season toyos..

no problems even in descent snow fall....

as said earlier..the roads only remain covered for a couple of hours... NYC is quick to plow..

you'll be fine...

if i'm not mistaken in nyc chains are illegal on non-emergency vehicles... but lets put it this way. My rear wheel 128 had no issue at all in NYC snow w/ runflats
