To maintain the highest level of quality, BMW-approved tires are given a star-approval rating (★). The star symbol indicates that the tires have been optimally tuned for each BMW model. In cooperation with the tire manufacturer, each tire is designed and tested to meet BMW’s uncompromising standards for quality, ride comfort, handling and safety. By comparison, a replacement tire that is not BMW-star approved is designed for a wide range of models and various vehicle manufacturers.

Even after a complete loss of tire pressure, run-flat tires will retain their shape and remain firmly attached to the rim. Even at high speeds, the vehicle remains stable and precisely controllable. The vehicle can be driven for up to 80 km at 80 km/h* following a loss of tire pressure. The need for a spare tire is eliminated.

_{*Certain limitations and restrictions apply. Drivers should check their specific vehicle’s Owner’s Manual for complete details.}

Staying safe on the road starts with the highest quality tires. BMW has partnered with major tire brands such as Bridgestone®, Continental®, Goodyear®, Michelin®, and Pirelli® to provide The Ultimate Driving Experience®.

Each BMW vehicle is unique and its tires come in a variety of sizes. Sidewall markings on tires detail the width, profile and rim size. Please use the BMW-approved tire selector or consult your preferred BMW Retailer to find out what tire sizes fit your vehicle.

The wheel size is the diameter of your vehicle's rim, not including the tire. Your BMW's wheel size and recommended tire size can be found in the lower section of the b-pillar when you open the driver’s door.

The speed rating is an indication of a tire's general performance capabilities. Speed ratings range from A (the lowest) to Y (the highest). BMW star approved tires utilize speed ratings that match the handling characteristics of your vehicle. Replacement tires should match or exceed the speed rating of the original equipment tires installed from the factory.

The load rating is a numerical value assigned to a tire based on the relative load-carrying capabilities of the tire. Load rating should not be exceeded as this could result in premature wear of the tire or sidewall.
