Run-flat tires*
You will recognize run-flat tires by a circular
symbol containing the letters RSC on the side
of the tire.
The run-flat tires consist of special rims and
tires that are self-supporting to a limited
degree. The tire reinforcement ensures that the
tire retains some residual safety in the event of
pressure drop and driving remains possible to a
restricted degree.
To continue driving with a damaged tire:
>When equipped with Flat Tire Monitor, refer
to Indication of a flat tire on page91.
>When equipped with Tire Pressure Monitor,
refer to Low tire pressure message on
page93.
New wheels and tires
Only have new wheels and tires mounted
by a BMW center or a tire specialist that
works in accordance with BMW guidelines and
uses appropriately trained personnel. If this
work is not carried out properly, there is a dan-
ger of subsequent damage and related safety
hazards.<
Retreaded tires
BMW does not recommend the use of
retreaded tires; otherwise, driving safety
may be reduced. Possible variations in the
design and the age – which could be substan-
tial – of the tire casing structures can lead to
unusually rapid wear.<
The right wheels and tires
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 ask your BMW center for the right
wheel and tire combination.
The correct wheel and tire combination affects
various systems whose function would other-
wise be impaired, such as ABS or DSC.
To maintain good handling and vehicle
response, use only tires of a single tread config-
uration from a single manufacturer. After a flat
tire, always remember to have the original
wheel and tire combination remounted on the
vehicle as soon as possible.
Wheels with electronics for
TPM Tire Pressure Monitor*
When mounting new tires or converting from
summer to winter tires or vice versa, only use
wheels with TPM electronics; otherwise, the
Tire Pressure Monitor cannot detect a flat tire,
refer to page91. Your BMW center will be
happy to advise you on this subject.
