Wheels & tires
Road tire
Provides the car’s contact and grip with the road.
Mounted around each road wheel.
Carcass, tread and compound support load, transmit forces and manage water displacement.
The car’s flexible shoes.
Pressure loss, bulges, uneven wear or vibration require a tire and wheel inspection.
Inspect tread, age, pressure and damage rather than using appearance alone. Wheels and bearings are assessed for condition.
Inflation correction is small work; tire sets, forged wheels and damaged hubs can be much larger expenses.
BMW-approved tire fitment depends on model and package; matching visible size alone does not settle every requirement.
BMW models using the specified wheel and tire combination; approved sizes vary by vehicle.
