Wheels and tires

204

Run-flat tires

You will recognize run-flat tires by the circular

symbol containing the letters RSC on the side

of the tire.

Run-flat tires consist of self-contained tires and

special rims. The sidewall reinforcement

ensures that the tire retains some residual

safety in the event of pressure drop and driving

remains possible to a restricted degree.

To continue driving with a damaged tire:

> With Flat Tire Monitor, refer to Indication of

a flat tire, page 90

> With Tire Pressure Monitor, refer to Mes-

sage with low tire inflation pressure,

page 92

New wheels and tires

Only have new wheels and tires mounted

by a BMW center or a repair shop that

works in accordance with BMW guidelines and

uses appropriately trained personnel. If this

work is performed inexpertly, there is a danger

of damage and associated safety risks. Make

sure that the new wheels are balanced.<

Retreaded tires

BMW does not recommend the use of

retreaded tires; otherwise, driving safety

may be reduced. Potentially substantial varia-

tions in the design and the age of the carcasses

can result in a reduced 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 find out the right wheel-tire combina-

tion from your BMW center.

The right wheel-and-tire combination is

another vital factor in ensuring reliable opera-

tion of various vehicle systems such as ABS

and DSC.

To maintain good handling and vehicle

response, use only tires of a single tread config-

uration from a single manufacturer. After a tire is

damaged, always remember to 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 91. Your BMW center will be

happy to advise you on this subject.

Recommended tire brands

BMW recommends particular tire brands for

each tire size. You can recognize these from the

clearly visible BMW marking on the tire sidewall.
