Why only BMW approved tires provide top performance
As the only point of contact between your BMW and the road, it's vital that your tires deliver excellent handling, cornering, braking, and solid acceleration-in a safe manner. So your BMW can perform like a BMW.
BMW offers two categories of tires - Run-Flats and Standard Engineered tires. Run-Flat tires feature resilient rubber-reinforced sidewalls and heat-resistant rubber compounds. These allow you to continue driving with a punctured tire at a maximum speed of 50 mph for a limited distance. Consult Passport BMW to find out if Run-Flat tires are available for your vehicle.
When you purchase tires at Passport BMW, you can be confident that extensive testing has been done to determine which tires are best suited for your vehicle to maximize performance. Only tires that succeed in meeting BMW's standards for safety and handling characteristics are given the title of BMW Approved tires. And in addition to getting tires with the proper speed rating, load index, and size, they will be mounted and balanced by a BMW trained technician who knows your BMW.
The various types of Standard Engineered tires boost performance, intensify exhilaration, and give you peace of mind-without sacrificing thrills-when driving in inclement weather. Experience impressive agility, absolute confidence and the true joy of driving with the following types of BMW approved tires:
- All-season tires deliver reliable traction on snow and ice without sacrificing handling grip and cornering capabilities in good weather.
- High-performance tires offer the highest degree of handling grip and cornering ability. Not recommended for driving in snow and ice.
- Winter tires are typically constructed of special rubber compounds that remain pliable to deliver extra traction in snowy, icy conditions and low outside temperatures.
