Wheels and tires

200

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.

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 86. 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.

With proper use, these tires meet the highest

standards for safety and handling characteris-

tics.

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.

Watch speed

Always observe the maximum permissi-

ble speed for the winter tires, otherwise

tire damage may occur, which can result in acci-

dents.<
