Tire replacement Tire rotation

Tire age

The date on which the tire was manu-

factured is indicated by the code on the

sidewall:

DOT ... 2501 indicates that the tire was

manufactured in week 25 of 2001.

BMW recommends the replacement

of all tires when the tires are no more

than 6 years old, even if a tire usage of

10 years is possible.

Spare tires over 6 years old should be

used only in case of emergency. A tire

of this age should be replaced by a new

tire immediately, and should not be

fitted together with new tires.

Between the axles

Tread wear at the front and rear axle is

different and will vary according to indi-

vidual driving conditions. In the interest

of safety and optimal vehicle response,

we advise against rotating tires from

front to rear and vice versa.

If rotating the tires between the axles is

under consideration for economic

reasons, the costs for remounting the

wheels must be calculated against any

savings which might result from the

anticipated extension in tire life. Rota-

tion should always be carried out at

short intervals, with a maximum of

3,000 miles (5,000 km). Consult your

BMW center for more information.

Should you decide to rotate the tires,

it is essential to comply with the

following:

Rotate wheels on the same side of the

vehicle only, otherwise braking effi-

ciency and road grip could be adversely

affected.

Following rotation, correct the tire infla-

tion pressure.

If tires with different sizes are

mounted on the front and rear

axles (refer to the information beginning

on page 116), the wheels may not be

rotated from one axle to the other.<
