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

Sports Activity Vehicle Center will be happy to

advise you.

For safety reasons, BMW recommends

that you do not have damaged run-flat

tires repaired; they should be replaced.

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.

Pay 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.

Storage

Store wheels and tires in a cool, dry place with

as little exposure to light as possible. Always

protect tires against all contact with oil, grease

and fuels. Do not exceed the maximum tire

inflation pressure indicated on the side wall of

the tire.

Rotating wheels between axles

BMW does not recommend moving the front

wheels to the rear or vice versa, as otherwise

the handling characteristics may be impaired.

Snow chains*

BMW only tests certain fine-link snow chains,

classifies them as road-safe and recommends

them. Your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center

can provide you with this information.

Use is only permissible in pairs on the rear

wheels.

Observe the manufacturer's instructions when

mounting snow chains. Do not exceed a speed

of 30 mph/50 km/h with the chains mounted.

After mounting snow chains, do not ini-

tialize the Flat Tire Monitor

, as otherwise

incorrect displays can occur.

When you are driving with snow chains, it can

be beneficial to activate DTC briefly, refer to
