What size tires does the BMW 5 Series use?

The BMW 5 Series uses two combinations of tires: one is front 245/40R19 and rear 275/35R19, and the other is 245/45R18 for both front and rear. Here is an introduction to the BMW 5 Series: 1. High-end models will use larger rims and staggered tires. Staggered tires refer to narrower front tires and wider rear tires, which can improve grip because the rear wheels rotate faster, as the BMW 5 Series is a rear-wheel-drive car. The new BMW 5 Series is equipped with two engines: one is a low-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and the other is a high-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. 2. The high-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine delivers 252 horsepower and a maximum torque of 350 Nm. The maximum power output of this engine is achieved at 5,200 to 6,500 rpm, and the maximum torque is available from 1,450 to 4,800 rpm. 3. The low-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine produces 184 horsepower and a maximum torque of 290 Nm. The maximum power output of this engine is achieved at 5,000 to 6,500 rpm, and the maximum torque is available from 1,350 to 4,250 rpm.
I remember when driving a BMW 5 Series, the tire size is usually around 18 to 20 inches, depending on the model year and configuration. The base version might come with 225/55 R17, while the sport or high-performance versions would upgrade to 245/45 R19 or even larger. The wheel size also affects overall performance—larger wheels provide better grip and more stable steering, but slightly higher fuel consumption. After changing tires a few times, I found that choosing the right size is crucial. For example, adjusting the size of all-season tires in snowy winters can enhance safety. If buying a used BMW, it's best to check the original manual or verify at a 4S shop to avoid mismatched sizes causing noise or rapid wear. Overall, 19-inch wheels are the most common for daily use, balancing comfort and performance, and it's recommended to check tire pressure and wear every two to three years.
