Wear indicators at the tread-groove base, refer

to arrow, are distributed over the tire's circum-

ference and are marked on the side of the tire

with TWI – Tread Wear Indicator. If the tire tread

has been driven down to the wear indicators, a

tread depth of 0.063 in/1.6 mm has been

reached.

Wheel/tire damage

Please note that low-profile tires cause wheels,

tires and suspension parts to be more suscep-

tible to road hazards and consequential dam-

ages.

Unusual vibrations encountered during normal

vehicle operation can indicate tire failure or

some other vehicle defect. This can, for exam-

ple, be caused by driving over curbs. These

kinds of problems may also be signaled by other

changes in vehicle response, such as a strong

tendency to pull to the left or right.

In these cases reduce your speed imme-

diately and have the wheels and tires

inspected immediately. To do this, carefully

drive to the nearest BMW center or a special-

ized tire dealer that works in accordance with

BMW guidelines and uses appropriately trained

personnel. Have the vehicle towed to the repair

shop if necessary. Tire damage can be

extremely dangerous to vehicle occupants and

other road users.<

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. When selecting the tires, also ensure

that they have a sufficient load-carrying capac-

ity. 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.
