Find Tyres for 2008-2015 BMW 7 Series (F01/F02)
Common factory fitments and replacement guidance for the 2008-2015 BMW 7 Series.
About this generation
BMW fits run-flat tyres on many 7 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.
This generation of the 7 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.
Chassis codes: F01, F02. Use the chassis code to confirm you have the right generation when ordering tyres.

Tyre fitment for any BMW 7 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.
Original-equipment sizes shown here are typical UK fitments. Sport packs, optional alloy upgrades and dealer accessories can change the size — always confirm before fitting.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
What should BMW 7 Series drivers know about UK potholes?
UK road conditions are tough on tyres. Check sidewall bulges, cuts and tread depth regularly — especially on the inside edge, which often wears unevenly. A 20p coin gives a quick legal-tread check.
What do star/OEM markings mean on BMW 7 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.
What wet grip should I look for on the BMW 7 Series?
For UK driving conditions, prioritise an EU tyre label wet-grip rating of A or B. Wet grip directly affects braking distance — the gap between A and E ratings can be more than a car length at 50 mph.
What does the chassis code F01 mean for tyre choice?
The F01/F02 chassis code identifies this specific generation of the BMW 7 Series. Tyre fitment guides and parts catalogues use the chassis code to match correct sizes, load indices and speed ratings — useful when ordering online.
What tyre size does the 2008-2015 BMW 7 Series use?
Common UK factory fitments for the 2008-2015 BMW 7 Series include 245/55 R17, 245/50 R18, 245/45 R19, 275/35 R20. The exact size depends on the wheel and trim ordered — always confirm on your tyre sidewall before fitting.
