Information for your safety

The factory-approved radial tires are

matched to the car and have been se-

lected to provide optimum safety and

driving comfort on your car.

It is not merely the tire's service life, but

also driving comfort and – above all

else – driving safety that depend on the

condition of the tires and the mainte-

nance of the specified tire pressure.

Incorrect inflation pressure is a frequent

cause of tire damage. It also signifi-

cantly influences the roadholding ability

of your BMW.

Check tire inflation pressure regu-

larly — including the space-saver

and/or the spare tire — at least twice a

month and before beginning a longer

road trip. Incorrect tire pressure can

otherwise lead to tire damage and acci-

dents.<

Tire tread – Tire damage

Inspect your tires frequently for tread

wear, signs of damage and for foreign

objects lodged in the tread. Check the

tread depth.

The tread depth should not be any shal-

lower than 0.12 in (3 mm).

Otherwise there is an increased risk of

aquaplaning, even at relatively moder-

ate speeds and with only small amounts

of water on the road.

We recommend that you always replace

the tires once the tread wears to 0.12 in

(3 mm). If you continue to use the tires,

wear indicators appear in the tread at

0.063 in (1.6 mm).

Do not drive on a deflated (flat) tire.

A flat tire greatly impairs steering

and braking response, and can lead to

complete loss of control over the

vehicle.

Avoid overloading the vehicle so that

the permitted load on the tires is not

exceeded. Overloading can lead to

overheating and increases the rate at

which damage develops inside the tires.

The ultimate result can assume the form

of a sudden air loss.

Unusual vibrations encountered during

normal vehicle operation can indicate

tire failure or some other vehicle defect,

as can variations in normal vehicle

response, such as a pronounced ten-

dency to pull to the left or right. Should

this occur, respond by immediately

reducing your speed and carefully pro-

ceeding to the nearest BMW center or

professional tire center, or having the

vehicle towed in to have it and its tires

inspected.

Tire damage (up to and including blow-

outs) can endanger the lives of both the

vehicle occupants and other road

users.<
