UK-market tyre sizes for the 2015-2022 BMW X1, with chassis-code matching and trim notes.
About this generation
This generation of the X1 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.
The current-generation BMW X1 (2015-2022) is sold in the UK with a small set of factory tyre sizes per trim. Replacement tyres should match the size, load index and speed rating of what came on your specific car.
Chassis code: F48. 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.
Can I downsize from larger wheels on my BMW X1?
Some trims of the X1 can be downsized to a smaller OEM-approved wheel, which often gives better ride and lower tyre cost. BMW usually publishes approved alternative sizes — check the handbook before changing wheel size.
Where should I check the original tyre size for my BMW X1?
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 should BMW X1 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.
How long should tyres last on the 2015-2022 BMW X1?
Typical UK tread life on the BMW X1 is around 20,000-40,000 miles depending on tyre brand, road conditions and driving style. Heavier trims tend to wear faster.
Is the BMW X1 still on sale in the UK?
As of the 2015-2022 window, the BMW X1 was on sale in the UK during this period. Tyre fitments listed here reflect UK-market specifications.
