What should I pay attention to when changing tires on my BMW?

Only certain wheel/tire combinations are suitable depending on vehicle and equipment. The vehicle manufacturer determines wheel/ tire combinations on the basis of the following criteria:

▷ Tire size, e.g., tire width, aspect ratio.

▷ Wheel size, e.g., rim diameter, offset.

 

Ask an authorized service center or another qualified service center or repair shop about wheels and tires that are suitable for the vehicle as well as special equipment.
