Wheels and tires 112 Tire inflation pressure Information for your safety It is not merely the tire's service life, but also driving comfort and, above all else, driving safety that depend on the condition of the tires and the maintenance of the specified tire pressure. Checking tire pressures Only check the tire inflation pressures of cold tires. This means after driving a maximum of 1.25 miles/2 km or after the vehicle has been parked for at least 2 hours. Warm tires have higher inflation pressures. Check tire inflation pressures regularly and correct them if necessary: at least twice a month and before beginning a longer trip. Otherwise, incorrect tire pressures can cause driving instability or tire damage, ultimately resulting in accidents. Do not drive on a deflated, i.e. flat, tire. A flat tire greatly impairs steering and braking response, and can lead to complete loss of control over the vehicle.< After correcting the tire inflation pressure, reinitialize the Flat Tire Monitor, refer to page 84. Inflation pressures for original tires Tire pressures for the standard tires of your vehicle are shown on the driver's door post, visible when the door is open. The inflation pressures apply to BMWapproved tire sizes and recommended tire brands. Your BMW center will be glad to supply this information. Inflation pressures for other tire sizes The following tire pressure table shows all tire pressures for the given tire sizes at ambient temperature.
