Special characteristics of winter tires

BMW recommends winter tires for use in cold

winter driving conditions. Although all-season

M+S tires provide better winter traction than

summer tires, they generally fail to provide the

same levels of cold-weather performance as

winter tires.

Watch speed

Always observe the maximum permissi-

ble speed for the winter tires, otherwise

tire damage may occur, which can result in acci-

dents.<

Storage

Always store wheels and tires in a cool, dry

place with as little exposure to light as possible.

Always protect tires against all contact with oil,

grease and fuels. Do not exceed the maximum

tire inflation pressure indicated on the side wall

of the tire.

Snow chains*

BMW only tests certain fine-link snow chains,

classifies them as road-safe and recommends

them. Consult your BMW center for more infor-

mation.

These snow chains are approved exclusively for

use in pairs on the rear wheels with the tire size:

> 245/50 R 17 Y

> 245/45 R 18 Y

Follow the chain manufacturer's instructions

when installing snow chains. Do not exceed a

vehicle speed of 30 mph/50 km/h with the

chains installed.

Do not initialize the Flat Tire Monitor after

installing snow chains as this could cause

the Flat Tire Monitor to malfunction.

When you are driving with snow chains, it can

be beneficial to switch off DTC briefly, refer to

page 87.<
