Home » BMW Repair » BMW – Tyre Replacement
Tyres are the only part of your BMW that touches the road, and BMW develops its cars with specific tyres. Tyres marked with a star (★) on the sidewall are approved by BMW for your car’s handling, braking and comfort. Many BMWs also run on run-flat tyres and use staggered sizes, with wider tyres at the rear. At Orange Auto in Al Quoz and Nad Al Hamar we supply and fit the correct tyres for your model from brands such as Michelin, Pirelli, Bridgestone and Continental, balance every wheel and reset the tyre pressure monitoring system.
Run-flat tyres let you drive a short distance at reduced speed after a puncture, which is why many BMWs have no spare wheel. They ride a little firmer. Switching to standard tyres is possible, but then you should carry a repair kit or spare. We explain the trade-offs and fit what suits your driving.
Dubai road surfaces can be very hot in summer, which raises tyre pressure and speeds up wear. Check pressures when the tyres are cold, using the values on the label in the driver’s door frame, and use the iDrive tyre pressure reset after adjusting. Rotate tyres where sizes allow and check alignment every 10,000 km. Our BMW wheel alignment protects new tyres.
Get your BMW tyres fitted at our Al Quoz workshop or our BMW service centre in Nad Al Hamar. Damaged alloys? See BMW rim restoration.
Do I have to use star-marked tyres?It is not required by law, but star-marked tyres are tuned for your BMW and are what we recommend.
Should I replace all four tyres together?Always replace in pairs on the same axle. On xDrive models keep tread depths close front to rear to protect the transfer case.
Can a punctured run-flat be repaired?Sometimes, if the damage is small and in the tread, and the tyre was not driven far while flat. We inspect it first.
