BMW 2006 650i Convertible Manual Do Proprietário

You will recognize run-flat tires by the circular 
symbol containing the letters RSC on the side 
of the tire.
Run-flat tires consist of self-contained tires and 
special rims. The sidewall reinforcement 
ensures that the tire retains some residual 
safety in the event of pressure drop and driving 
remains possible to a restricted degree.
For continued driving with damaged tires, refer 
to Indication of a flat tire, page

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.

<

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.

<

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.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.

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.

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

For safety reasons, BMW recommends 
that you do not have damaged run-flat 

tires repaired; they should be replaced.
