If winter tyres – (M&S radial-ply) – are
fitted, the same make and tread pat-
tern should be used on all four wheels
(and preferably on the spare wheel as
well) in the interests of good direc-
tional stability and steering response.
Fit only winter tyres approved by
BMW. BMW Service will gladly advise
you on the correct winter tyres for the
conditions in which your car has to
operate.
Always note and comply with the
maximum speed limit for your winter
tyres.
In Germany: a suitable warning label
according to § 36 StVZO has to be
attached within the driver's field of
view if the car's top speed is higher.
Tyre dealers and BMW Service points
can supply these labels.
Below a tread depth of 4 mm (app.
0.16 in), winter tyres become notice-
ably less suitable for winter driving
conditions and should therefore be
replaced without undue delay for
safety reasons.
Note the specified tyre pressures and
have the wheels with tyres balanced
each time a tyre or wheel is changed.
aAlways note and comply with
the maximum speed limit for your win-
ter tyres.
Lack of expert knowledge or incorrect
handling of tyres can cause damage
and lead to accidents.
All work on tyres should therefore be
carried out only by experts. BMW
Service will gladly assist you.c
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.
