Ace Tyres

Matched sets for your BMW 8-Series (2018)

245/35R20 front · 275/30R20 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.

OE for your car first: the sets BMW approved for this car, the mark on the tyre wall says which. Then the rest, best grade first, no maker twice in a row.

Are your tyres run-flats?

Yes, run-flatsNo, standardNot sure

Run-flats only.

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.

    Why it’s first: * — BMW and Mini: the star is BMW's approval: built to BMW's rolling-circumference tolerance so the driven wheels turn as one through the differential (and the transfer case on an xDrive). BMW says star tyres on all four, never a star mixed with a non-star. The approved sets come before the rest.

    Approved for Mercedes-Benz (MOE) — a different maker's fitment spec, not the BMW star (★). It's the right size and rating, and fits and performs fine as a full set of four — on xDrive, never a pair of these against star tyres on the other axle; BMW's own approved sets are listed first.
