BMW 5 Series: Run-flat tires
Concept
Run-flat tires permit continued driving under restricted
conditions even in the event of a complete
loss of tire inflation pressure.
General information
The wheels consist of tires that are self-supporting,
to a limited degree, and possibly special
rims.
The support of the sidewall allows the tire to remain
drivable to a restricted degree in the event
of a tire inflation pressure loss.
Follow the instructions for continued driving with
a flat tire.
Safety information
Warning
Your vehicle handles differently with a run-flat
tire with no or low inflation pressure; for instance,
your lane stability when braking is reduced,
braking distances are longer and the
self-steering properties will change. There is a
risk of accident. Drive moderately and do not
exceed a speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.

With the Mobility System, minor tire damage can
be sealed temporarily to enable continued travel.
To accomplish this, sealant is pumped into the
tires, which seals the damage from the inside.

tires, the snow chains can come into contact
with vehicle parts. There may be a risk of
