Find Tyres for 2014-2018 BMW M3 (F80)
UK-market tyre sizes for the 2014-2018 BMW M3, with chassis-code matching and trim notes.
About this generation
BMW fits run-flat tyres on many M3 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 M3 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 code: F80. Use the chassis code to confirm you have the right generation when ordering tyres.
Common factory tyre sizes
UK-market factory fitments for the 2014-2018 BMW M3 typically include:
BMW works with tyre makers to develop OEM-marked versions for the M3, tuned for the car's suspension calibration. Star, MO, AO or J markings indicate manufacturer-approved tyres.
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 do star/OEM markings mean on BMW M3 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 tyre size does the 2014-2018 BMW M3 use?
Common UK factory fitments for the 2014-2018 BMW M3 include 255/40 R18, 275/40 R18, 255/35 R19, 275/35 R19. The exact size depends on the wheel and trim ordered — always confirm on your tyre sidewall before fitting.
The M3 uses 19" or larger wheels — what should I know?
Larger wheels mean lower-profile tyres with shorter sidewalls — that means firmer ride, more pothole sensitivity and shorter tyre life on UK roads. Premium tyres usually repay the extra cost on cars with 19"+ wheels.
What's different about the 2014-2018 M3 compared with other generations?
This is the 2014-2018 generation of the BMW M3. Earlier and later generations use different platforms, wheel sizes and tyre fitments, so always match your specific year to the correct generation page.
Are all-season tyres suitable for the BMW M3?
All-season tyres carrying the 3PMSF snowflake symbol are a sensible choice for UK BMW M3 drivers who don't want to swap between summer and winter sets. Confirm the size and load rating match your OEM spec.
