What is the tire size for the BMW 5 Series?
1 Answers
The BMW 5 Series utilizes two different tire combinations. The first configuration features front tires sized 245/45R18 and rear tires also sized 245/45R18. The second configuration consists of front tires sized 245/40R19 and rear tires sized 275/35R19. Higher-end models are equipped with larger wheels and staggered tires. Staggered tires refer to a setup where the front tires are narrower than the rear tires, which enhances rear grip more quickly since the BMW 5 Series is rear-wheel drive. Tire dimensions can be identified by the markings on the tire sidewall. In the specification 245/45R18, 245 indicates the tire width in millimeters (245mm), 45 represents the aspect ratio, R denotes radial construction, and 18 signifies compatibility with 18-inch wheels. The BMW 5 Series is powered by two engine variants: a low-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and a high-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The low-power version delivers a maximum output of 135kW with 290Nm of torque, while the high-power version produces 252 horsepower and 350Nm of maximum torque.
