2011 BMW Z4 SDrive 30i 35i 35si E89 Owners Manual

Recommended tire brands
Run-flat tires
For your own safety, only use run-flat tires. No
sparetireisavailableinthecaseofaflattire.Your
service center will be glad to advise you.
Rotating wheels between axles
The manufacturer of your vehicle advises
against swapping wheels between the front and
rear axles.
This can impair the handling characteristics.
For each tire size, the manufacturer of your ve‐
hicle recommends certain tire brands. These
can be identified by a star on the tire sidewall.
Rotating the tires is not permissible when using
different types of tires.
With proper use, these tires meet the highest
standards for safety and handling.
Storage
Store wheels and tires in a cool, dry place with
as little exposure to light as possible.
Retreaded tires
Always protect tires against all contact with oil,
grease and fuels.
The manufacturer of your vehicle does not rec‐
ommend the use of retreaded tires.
Do not exceed the maximum tire inflation pres‐
sure indicated on the side wall of the tire.
Retreaded tires
Possibly substantial variations in the de‐
sign and age of the tire casing structures can
limit service life and have a negative impact on
road safety.◀
Snow chains*
Only certain fine-link snow chains have been
tested by BMW, classified as safe for use and
recommended. Consult your service center for
more information.
Winter tires
The manufacturer of your vehicle recommends
winter tires for winter roads or at temperatures
below +45 ℉/+7 ℃.
Snow chains must be mounted in pairs and on
the rear wheels only. Observe the manufactur‐
er's instructions when mounting snow chains.
Do not exceed a speed of 30 mph/50 km/h when
using snow chains.
Although so-called all-season M+S tires do pro‐
vide better winter traction than summer tires,
they do not provide the same level of perform‐
ance as winter tires.
Do not initialize the Flat Tire Monitor if snow
chains are mounted; otherwise, the instrument
might issue an incorrect reading.
Maximum speed of winter tires
If the maximum speed of the vehicle is higher
than the permissible speed for the winter tires,
then display a corresponding sign in the field of
vision. You can obtain this sign from the tire spe‐
cialist or from your service center.
When driving with snow chains, it can be bene‐
ficial to temporarily activate DTC, refer to
page 89.
Maximum speed for winter tires
Do not exceed the maximum speed for the
winter tires; otherwise, tire damage and acci‐
dents can occur.◀
