Find Tyres for 2023-present BMW iX1 (U11)
Common factory fitments and replacement guidance for the 2023-present BMW iX1.
About this generation
BMW fits run-flat tyres on many iX1 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.
As an EV, the BMW iX1 carries more weight than a comparable petrol car and delivers torque instantly — both factors that make EV-specific tyres a sensible choice. Original equipment was typically EV-rated.
Chassis code: U11. Use the chassis code to confirm you have the right generation when ordering tyres.
