Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
Can I mix tyre brands on a Alpina B5?
It's safer to fit matching tyres in pairs (axle-by-axle) on a Alpina B5. Mixing brands or different tread patterns across an axle can affect handling balance — particularly in wet conditions.
Does the EU tyre label help when choosing tyres for a Alpina B5?
Yes — the EU tyre label rates wet grip, fuel efficiency and external noise. For the Alpina B5, prioritise wet grip first (UK weather), fuel/range efficiency second.
Where do I find the load index for Alpina B5 tyres?
Load index appears at the end of the tyre size, just before the speed rating — e.g. 91V means load index 91, speed V. Match or exceed the original load index shown on the door placard of your Alpina B5.
What's the legal tread depth for a Alpina B5 in the UK?
The UK legal minimum tread depth is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre. Many tyre safety bodies recommend replacing at 3mm for better wet weather safety on the Alpina B5.
Are all-season tyres a good choice on a Alpina B5?
For UK drivers, all-season tyres with the 3PMSF symbol can be a sensible compromise on the Alpina B5 — particularly if you do mixed mileage and don't want to swap between summer and winter sets twice a year.
