Matched sets for your BMW 5-Series (2006)

225/50R17 front · 245/45R17 rear

Your car takes a wider tyre on the back, so these come as a set — the same make front and rear, priced for all four fitted. Pull the shelf along for more.

Are your tyres run-flats?

Most BMWs come on run-flats — RSC, RFT, SSR or a circle with an arrow on the tyre wall. Run-flats first, then standard tyres.

What’s the BMW star (★) on a tyre?

BMW’s approval. A star on the tyre wall means BMW tested that tyre for your model — around 50 checks, from grip and braking to wear, noise and high speed, well beyond the EU tyre label.

Not the law. A tyre without the star, in the right size and rating, is safe and legal and passes the NCT.

Why it matters most on xDrive (four-wheel drive). The front and back wheels are driven together, and the drive system allows only a tiny difference in how far each tyre travels per turn. Star tyres are made to BMW’s own measurements so all four roll alike; two tyres with the same size printed on them, from different makers, can differ by a few millimetres.

So on xDrive, keep all four the same: star on all four or none, and the front and back within about 3 mm of tread of each other. Mixing them is what wears the transfer case — and BMW dealers check it before a transfer-case warranty claim.

What we do. BMW’s star sets come first. The others fit and perform fine as a full set of four, and on xDrive we never fit a pair against star tyres on the other axle.

    ⚡ Electric specif yours is electric or a plug-in hybrid, this is the set to have — it carries the battery's extra weight, rolls easier for more range, runs quieter, and copes with the instant pull of an electric motor. On a petrol or diesel car the standard set does the job.
