About this generation
Performance variants of the BMW 8 Series need W- or Y-rated tyres with a higher-grip compound. Replacements should match or exceed the original speed rating shown on the sidewall.
BMW fits run-flat tyres on many 8 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: G16. Use the chassis code to confirm you have the right generation when ordering tyres.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
How long should tyres last on the 2019-present BMW 8 Series?
Typical UK tread life on the BMW 8 Series is around 20,000-40,000 miles depending on tyre brand, road conditions and driving style. Heavier trims tend to wear faster.
What tyre size does the 2019-present BMW 8 Series use?
Common UK factory fitments for the 2019-present BMW 8 Series include 245/45 R19, 275/40 R19, 245/35 R20, 275/35 R20. The exact size depends on the wheel and trim ordered — always confirm on your tyre sidewall before fitting.
Are all-season tyres suitable for the BMW 8 Series?
All-season tyres carrying the 3PMSF snowflake symbol are a sensible choice for UK BMW 8 Series drivers who don't want to swap between summer and winter sets. Confirm the size and load rating match your OEM spec.
Where should I check the original tyre size for my BMW 8 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 do star/OEM markings mean on BMW 8 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.
