Information for your safety
Factory-approved steel-belted radials
with emergency driving characteristics
are meant for your vehicle, offering
optimum driving safety as well as the
driving comfort you desire.
It is not merely the tire's service life, but
also driving comfort and – above all else
– driving safety that depend on the con-
dition of the tires and the maintenance
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 pressures reg-
ularly (refer to page
24 ), at least
every two weeks and before beginning
a longer trip. If this is not done, incor-
rect tire pressures can cause driving
instability and tire damage, ultimately
resulting in accidents.

Safety tires
Your BMW Z8 roadster is equipped
with safety tires.
The safety tires are made of self-sup-
porting tires and customized wheel
rims. Reinforcing the tires makes sure
that they remain upright and still drive-
able to a limited degree even in the
event of loss of pressure. Your vehicle
is equipped with a tire pressure monitor
that signals you in case of a flat tire.
