Find Tyres for 2004-2010 BMW 6 Series (E64)
BMW 6 Series (2004-2010) tyre data — wheel-by-wheel fitments and seasonal options.
About this generation
This generation of the 6 Series runs on 19-inch or larger wheels in some trims, which means short-sidewall tyres that handle precisely but are less forgiving on rough UK roads.
BMW fits run-flat tyres on many 6 Series models, paired with tyre pressure monitoring and no spare wheel. If your car was supplied with run-flats, replacements should typically also be run-flats.
Chassis code: E64. Use the chassis code to confirm you have the right generation when ordering tyres.

Tyre fitment for any BMW 6 Series depends on the wheels and trim ordered from new. The most accurate way to confirm a replacement is to read the size from your existing tyre sidewall.
Wet grip is the most relevant EU label rating for UK driving. On the 6 Series, prioritise wet grip A or B for shorter braking in rain.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
Are all-season tyres suitable for the BMW 6 Series?
All-season tyres carrying the 3PMSF snowflake symbol are a sensible choice for UK BMW 6 Series drivers who don't want to swap between summer and winter sets. Confirm the size and load rating match your OEM spec.
What does the chassis code E64 mean for tyre choice?
The E64 chassis code identifies this specific generation of the BMW 6 Series. Tyre fitment guides and parts catalogues use the chassis code to match correct sizes, load indices and speed ratings — useful when ordering online.
Where should I check the original tyre size for my BMW 6 Series?
Look in three places: (1) the sidewall of the existing tyre, (2) the placard inside the driver's door frame, and (3) the vehicle handbook. The driver's door placard is the official OEM specification, and the sidewall confirms what's fitted now.
What tyre size does the 2004-2010 BMW 6 Series use?
Common UK factory fitments for the 2004-2010 BMW 6 Series include 245/45 R18, 245/40 R19, 285/35 R19. The exact size depends on the wheel and trim ordered — always confirm on your tyre sidewall before fitting.
What do star/OEM markings mean on BMW 6 Series tyres?
BMW approves specific tyres for many of its models, marked with a star (BMW), MO (Mercedes), AO (Audi), J (Jaguar) or similar. OEM-marked tyres are tuned for that car's suspension and don't always come from the major brand-name fitter as a stock item — they may need to be ordered.
