BMW tyre tips
- A star symbol on the sidewall marks a tyre approved by BMW for that model; it is the safest like-for-like choice.
- Run-flat tyres (RSC or RFT) let you drive about 80 km at 80 km/h after a puncture, but most should be replaced rather than repaired after running flat.
- Switching from run-flats to conventional tyres is legal but leaves you without a spare, so carry a sealant kit or call mobile tyre service.
- M cars and many X5 and X7 trims use staggered sizes; always replace in axle pairs with the same brand and pattern.
Common factory tyres on BMW: Bridgestone, Pirelli, Michelin, Continental, Goodyear.

When to replace the tyres
Expect 40,000–60,000 km from a set on a front-wheel-drive sedan with regular rotation, and replace at around five years regardless of tread. Front tyres wear faster, so rotating every 8,000–10,000 km makes a real difference.
Most sedans need a load index of 88–98 and a speed rating of H (210 km/h) or V (240 km/h). Larger sedans on 18 inch wheels often specify 94W or 95V XL. Always match or exceed the figures on the door placard.
