Tyre sizes for the BMW 7 Series
The BMW 7 Series has had 6 UK-market generations. Tyre fitments aren't interchangeable across generations — pick the year-correct page below.
Many BMW cars — including some 7 Series variants — were fitted with run-flat tyres from new. Replacement tyres should typically match the original (run-flat or non-run-flat) specification.
On a premium model like the BMW 7 Series, top-tier tyre brands (Michelin, Continental, Bridgestone, Pirelli, Goodyear) typically pay back their extra cost in tread life, noise and wet grip.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
What's the legal tread depth for a BMW 7 Series 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 BMW 7 Series.
How often should I rotate tyres on a BMW 7 Series?
Most tyre makers and BMW workshops recommend rotating front and rear every 5,000-7,500 miles for even wear. Front-wheel-drive cars typically wear front tyres faster; rotation extends overall tyre life.
Can I mix tyre brands on a BMW 7 Series?
It's safer to fit matching tyres in pairs (axle-by-axle) on a BMW 7 Series. 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 BMW 7 Series?
Yes — the EU tyre label rates wet grip, fuel efficiency and external noise. For the BMW 7 Series, prioritise wet grip first (UK weather), fuel/range efficiency second.
What pressure should the BMW 7 Series run?
The correct pressure for your BMW 7 Series is on the placard inside the driver's door frame and in the handbook — not on the tyre itself. Pressure varies by load and trim. Check cold once a month.
