BMW wheels and tyres can make a daily difference to the performance, safety and dynamics of your ride. When choosing a tyre there are many factors to consider such as EU tyre labels, should you choose run flats, do you need to swap tyres when the temperature drops? We are available for expert advice on all of these topics.
Genuine Light Alloy Wheels and Tyres from Sandal are even more dynamic, more stylish and fully compliment the Ultimate Driving machine and help to finish the overall appearance of the vehicle.
There are three main differences between summer and winter tyres: their structure, their rubber compound and their tread pattern.
Winter tyres have a higher rubber content than summer tyres helping them to keep supple in the colder weather. They give a better grip to the road and have many tiny grooves which help to dispel surface water. The tread is deeper providing better grip when there is snow on the road.
Summer tyres provide better all-round performance in the warmer months. They have a relatively hard compound that softens in milder temperatures but is easily adaptable to wet weather. The tread is specially designed to reduce the risk of aquaplaning. Summer tyres do provide good grip in most weather but are not suitable for harsher, colder weather due to their harder rubber. Summer tyres are also more fuel-efficient as they produce less friction on the road.

The legal limit of tyre tread is 1.6mm. It is a legal requirement to ensure that the tyres on your BMW are above this limit. You should check the tread and pressure on your tyres ideally every 2 and always before a long journey. Sandal will do a visual health check of your BMW every time we see your car in one of our workshops. We will do a check and report of your tyres and provide you with appropriate advice and a competitive quotation should you need to replace your tyres.

BMW Star Marked tyres are tyres that have been developed and tested specifically for BMW vehicles in partnership with leading tyre manufacturers. They undergo extensive testing against up to 50 performance and safety criteria to ensure they deliver the handling, comfort, braking performance and driving dynamics expected from a BMW. You can identify them by the star symbol on the tyre sidewall.
Genuine BMW tyres are engineered specifically for your BMW model, providing the correct balance of grip, stability, comfort and efficiency. Choosing BMW Approved tyres helps maintain the vehicle's performance, supports optimum safety in all driving conditions and ensures the tyres work seamlessly with your vehicle's suspension and driver assistance systems
BMW run-flat tyres are designed to allow you to continue driving after a puncture, helping you reach a safe location without immediately changing the tyre. When combined with your BMW's Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), you'll be alerted to a loss of pressure and can typically continue driving for up to 50 miles at speeds of up to 50mph, depending on road conditions and the extent of the damage.
You should replace your BMW tyres if the tread depth is approaching the legal minimum of 1.6mm, or sooner if you notice uneven wear, cracks, bulges or damage. For optimum safety and performance, it's recommended to check your tyre condition and pressure regularly, particularly before long journeys or during seasonal weather changes.
Winter tyres are recommended when temperatures regularly fall below 7°C. Unlike standard tyres, they remain flexible in colder conditions, providing improved grip, shorter braking distances and greater control on wet, icy and snowy roads. Switching to BMW Winter Tyres can improve both safety and confidence during the colder months.
Maintaining the correct tyre pressure helps maximise safety, handling, braking performance and fuel efficiency. Under-inflated or over-inflated tyres can wear unevenly, reduce grip and increase stopping distances. BMW recommends checking your tyre pressures at least once a month and before long journeys, following the manufacturer's recommended settings for your vehicle.
