Recommended tire sizes and brands

BMW recommends particular tire brands for
each tire size. You will recognize them by the
clearly visible BMW identification on the tire
sidewall.
With proper use, these tires meet the highest
standards for safety and handling characteris-
tics.

Run-flat tires

When installing new tires or when changing
from summer tires to winter tires or vice versa,
for your own safety, use run-flat tires. No spare
wheel is provided in the event of a flat. Your
BMW center will be glad to advise you.

For safety reasons, BMW recommends
that you 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 so-called
all-season M+S tires provide better winter trac-
tion than summer tires, they generally fail to
provide the same levels of cold-weather perfor-
mance as winter tires.

Observing speed ratings

Never exceed the maximum speed for
which the winter tires are rated.

Storage

Always 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 pres-
sure indicated on the side wall of the tire.

Snow chains*

Only certain fine-link snow chains are tested,
classified as road-safe, and recommended by
BMW. Consult your BMW center for more infor-
mation. Use on winter tires is only permissible in
pairs on the rear wheels. Follow the manufac-
turer's instructions when installing snow
chains. Do not exceed a vehicle speed of
30 mph/50 km/h with the chains mounted.

Do not initialize the Flat Tire Monitor after
mounting snow chains. When you are

driving with snow chains, it can be beneficial to
activate DTC briefly, refer to page
