Wheels and tires

228

Retreaded tires

BMW does not recommend that you use

retreaded tires, as driving safety may be

impaired. The causes for this include the possi-

bly different tire casing structures and the often

wide variations in their age, which can result in a

limited service life.<

The right wheels and tires

BMW recommends that you use only

wheel and tire combinations that BMW

has tested and approved for your particular

vehicle. Variations in factors such as manufac-

turing tolerances mean that even wheels and

tires with identical official size ratings could

actually have different dimensions than the

approved units – these differences could lead to

body contact, and with it the risk of severe acci-

dents. If non-approved wheels and tires are

used, BMW cannot evaluate their suitability,

and therefore cannot be held liable for driving

safety.<

You can inquire about the right wheel/tire com-

bination at your BMW center.

The correct wheel/tire combination also affects

various systems whose function would other-

wise be impaired, e.g. ABS, DSC or xDrive.

To maintain good handling and vehicle

response, use only tires of a single tread config-

uration from a single manufacturer. Following

tire damage, have the original wheel and tire

combination remounted on the vehicle as soon

as possible.

Wheels with electronics for

TPM Tire Pressure Monitor

When mounting new tires or converting from

summer to winter tires or vice versa, only use

wheels with TPM electronics, otherwise the

Tire Pressure Monitor cannot detect a flat tire,

refer to page 97. Your BMW center will be

happy to advise you on this subject.

Recommended tire brands

Certain tire makes are recommended by BMW

depending on the tire size. You can recognize

these from the clearly visible BMW marking on

the tire sidewall.

When used properly, these tires comply with

the most demanding standards for safety and

vehicle response.

Run-flat tires

When mounting new tires, or changing from

summer to winter tires or vice versa, use run-flat

tires for your own safety. In addition, no spare

tire is available in case of a flat tire. Your BMW

center will be glad to advise you.

For safety reasons, BMW recommends

that you do not have damaged run-flat

tires repaired; they should be replaced. Other-

wise it is not possible to rule out occurrences of

consequential damage.<

Special characteristics of winter tires

BMW recommends winter tires for use in cold

winter driving conditions. Although all-season

M+S tires provide better winter traction than

summer tires, they generally fail to provide the

same levels of cold-weather performance as

winter tires.

Paying attention to speed

Always observe the maximum permissi-

ble speed for the winter tires, otherwise

tire damage may occur, which can result in acci-

dents.<
