What model of tires does the BMW 540i use?
2 Answers
BMW 540i is a rear-wheel-drive vehicle, equipped with staggered tires, which means the front and rear tires have different widths. The front tire size of the BMW 540i is 245/40R19, and the rear tire size is 275/35R19. The BMW 540i is the top-tier model equipped with a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine. Details about the BMW 540i are as follows: 1. The engine code of the BMW 540i is B58, a 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering 340 horsepower and a maximum torque of 450 Nm. This engine can output its maximum torque at 1,380 rpm and maintain it up to 5,200 rpm. 2. The BMW 540i features a double-wishbone independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear.
When driving my BMW 540i, it came with factory-fitted 245/40R19 Continental sport tires, which provide a smooth ride and strong grip, making high-speed cornering stable. In daily driving, the tire model may vary slightly by year. For example, the 2019 model might use Pirelli P Zero, with basically the same size. I’ve noticed that regular tire pressure checks are crucial, usually every two months. If the pressure is too low, it can lead to increased fuel consumption and poorer handling. In summer heat, sport tires perform excellently, but on slippery winter roads, I switch to dedicated winter tires for better safety. When tires wear out quickly, it’s important to replace them promptly—don’t wait until the tread is completely worn to avoid affecting braking distance and safety.
