Tyre sizes for the BMW M5
On a premium model like the BMW M5, top-tier tyre brands (Michelin, Continental, Bridgestone, Pirelli, Goodyear) typically pay back their extra cost in tread life, noise and wet grip.
Many BMW cars — including some M5 variants — were fitted with run-flat tyres from new. Replacement tyres should typically match the original (run-flat or non-run-flat) specification.
The most accurate way to find tyres for a BMW M5 is to read the size from your current tyre sidewall, then match width, profile, rim, load index and speed rating.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
Are all-season tyres a good choice on a BMW M5?
For UK drivers, all-season tyres with the 3PMSF symbol can be a sensible compromise on the BMW M5 — particularly if you do mixed mileage and don't want to swap between summer and winter sets twice a year.
Where can I find the tyre size for a BMW M5?
On a BMW M5, the original tyre size is shown in three places: the existing tyre sidewall, the placard on the driver's door frame, and the vehicle handbook. The door placard is the manufacturer-specified original equipment.
What's the legal tread depth for a BMW M5 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 M5.
What grade of tyre does the BMW M5 need?
Performance variants of the BMW M5 are typically supplied with W or Y speed-rated tyres and high-performance compounds. Replacements should match or exceed the original specification — going lower-rated can affect handling and may be illegal.
Does the EU tyre label help when choosing tyres for a BMW M5?
Yes — the EU tyre label rates wet grip, fuel efficiency and external noise. For the BMW M5, prioritise wet grip first (UK weather), fuel/range efficiency second.
