tire center, preferably your BMW cen-

ter. Observe any country-specific regu-

lations, e.g. on making a corresponding

entry in the vehicle documents.

The factory-approved radial belt tires

are matched to your vehicle and pro-

vide optimum safety and driving com-

fort when used properly.

Run Flat tires

If your vehicle is equipped with Run Flat

tires, refer to Run Flat tires, use only

these tires since no spare wheel is

available in the event of a flat.

Special characteristics of winter

tires

BMW recommends the use of winter

tires for operation under winter road

conditions. While all-season tires with

M+S designation provide better winter

traction than summer tires, they gener-

ally do not achieve the full performance

of winter tires.

Run Flat tires:

If your vehicle is equipped with Run Flat

tires, refer to Run Flat tires, please note

the following: when mounting new tires

or replacing summer tires with winter

tires, or vice versa, use only Run Flat

tires since no spare wheel is available

in the event of a flat. Your BMW center

wil be glad to advise you.

Observing speed ratings:

Never exceed the maximum

speed for which the winter tires

are rated. Unprofessional attempts by

laymen to service tires can lead to dam-

age and accidents. Have this work per-

formed by skilled professionals only.

The technicians at your BMW center

will be glad to assist you with the

required professional knowledge and

specialized equipment.<

Storage

Always store tires in a cool, dry place.

Store them away from light whenever

possible. Protect the tires against con-

tact with oil, grease and fuel. Do not

exceed the maximum tire inflation pres-

sures specified on the tire sidewall.

Snow chains*

Only certain snow chains have been

tested by BMW and determined and

approved as roadworthy. Consult your

BMW center for details. BMW recom-

mends using only these approved fine-

link snow chains. Use them in pairs on

either summer or winter tires, but only

on both rear wheels.

Comply with all manufacturer's safety

precautions when mounting the chains.

Do not exceed a speed of 30 mph /

50 km/h when using snow chains.

You cannot mount snow chains with the

following tires:

> 225/50 R 16

> 225/45 R 17

> 245/40 R 17

> 225/40 R 18

> 255/35 R 18.

Do not initialize the Flat Tire Moni-

tor after mounting snow chains to

the tires.

When driving with snow chains, it may

be useful to turn off the DSC for a short

time, refer to page 92.<
