BMW 5 Series, 2020 model, 530Li, Premium, original front and rear tires use the specification 245/45-R18, with random brands such as Pirelli and Michelin. Tire lifespan: The wear lifespan of tires is 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers. If the tires have not reached the wear limit or mileage but have been in use for 5 years or have developed significant cracks on the sidewalls, they should be replaced. Tire material: The main body of the tire is rubber, and the maximum storage and anti-aging time for rubber, from natural latex to ethylene-propylene and nitrile, does not exceed 10 years. The average service life of various rubber products in use is 3-5 years.
I've seen many new BMW 5 Series owners share that their cars usually come with Michelin or Continental tires. For example, the 530i Sport version often uses Michelin's Primacy series, providing a quiet and comfortable driving experience. However, BMW selects tires based on different regions and configurations. European models might use Pirelli, while the U.S. sometimes gets Cooper. This is mainly to balance performance and cost, as manufacturers don't stick to a single brand. To confirm what tires your car has, the simplest method is to check the vehicle manual or look for markings on the tire sidewall, where the brand and model are printed. When replacing tires, you can choose a similar grade yourself, ensuring the size matches, and avoid cheap no-name brands that could compromise safety. Regularly check tire pressure and wear to extend their lifespan.
