Question regarding snow chains

Hey guys I need to buy snow chains for my 10 days ski trip in Switzerland and Austria but it seems almost impossible in my county. I tried to buy them from USA but unfortunately tirechaindealer personnel told me they can't ship to Bulgaria. The only dealer for snow chains here is Koenig. The size of the snow chains will fit on my 18" OEM winter tires and rims (245/45/18) but do you think this model on the link is the right one for the M6?

Konig

Best regards

There are 2 types of K-summit chains:

-K-summit XL - for SUV's
-K-summit -for cars with limited space and clea-rens

I am talking about the K-summits for cars :
Konig

I think the snow in the USA and Europe is the same,so the way of driving is the same

Or not Snow is great fun with DCS off But with over 500hp you don't really need snow to drift

Why snow chains?? Is the snow really that bad in Switzerland? A set of good winter tires will go a long way, if its very icy go with a studded setup.

If the weather condition is bad and it is snowing there are some places where all vehicles must have snow chains on,otherwise there are some big penalties. In my country its forbidden to have studs otherwise its the best choice

Ohh ok, must be up in the mountain areas...

I just fitted my winter tires a few minutes ago, no snow here yet but you never know when it comes and when it does all traffic goes into chaos mode (like no one knew there would be snow).

Here it is forbidden to have studded tires during summer (April -> November) but during the winter it is allowed. I have unstudded wheels though, no studs can hold 500hp
