New tyres Wheel and tyre combinations
To maintain the car's good road behav-
iour, always fit tyres of the same make
and tread pattern to all wheels. BMW
tests and approves combinations of
wheels/tyres for use on your car.
Do not use retreaded tyres, as
these could have adverse effects
on the car's safety. Their carcasses
may differ in internal construction or
have aged sufficiently to cast doubt on
their durability.

Age of tyres
A tyre's date of manufacture is shown
as part of the inscription on the tyre
wall:
DOT ... 2501 means for instance that
the tyre was manufactured in Week 25
of the year 2001.
BMW recommends tyre replacement
after not more than 6 years, even if
tyres up to 10 years old may still be
suitable.
Choosing the correct tyres
Fit only wheels and tyres that have
been approved by BMW for your
type of vehicle, otherwise the tyres may
e.g. make contact with the vehicle body
due to impermissible tolerances, even
though they are of an approved size;
this could result in a serious accident.
BMW is unable to assess the suitability
of wheels and tyres it has not approved
and cannot therefore guarantee their
safety.
<
BMW has tested certain makes of tyre
for each tyre size, classified them as
safe for use and approved them. BMW
Service is able to provide the details of
these makes. Observe any national
legislation e.g. on entries required in
the vehicle documents
The correct wheel and tyre combi-
nation has an influence on various
systems, the function of which could
otherwise be adversely affected, for
instance ABS, AGS, ASC+T/DSC.
For this reason, fit only tyres of the
same make and tread pattern on all the
car's wheels, and after a puncture, for
instance, fit the approved wheel and
tyre combination again as soon as
possible.
<
Tyre storage
Store wheels and tyres in a cool, dry
and preferably dark place when not in
use. Protect tyres against contamina-
tion from oil, grease and fuel.
