Tire Age

Regardless of condition, tires should be replaced after six years at the latest. This chapter explains how to read the date of manufacture on the tire sidewall. Aging can impair grip and tire structure even on tires that have barely been driven. Safety comes first. Regular checks help you avoid unpleasant surprises.

Recommendation

Regardless of tread wear, replace tires after six years at the latest.

Date of manufacture

The date of manufacture of the tire is located on the tire sidewall.

Tire age is an often underestimated safety factor, which the BMW 5 G30/G31 emphasizes in particular. Regardless of the remaining tread depth, rubber ages, loses elasticity and can lose its grip properties, a risk that many drivers are unaware of. The clear recommendation to replace tires after six years at the latest shows the high priority BMW gives to safety.

The information on locating the date of manufacture directly on the tire sidewall is especially helpful. It makes it easy for the driver to check the age of the tires independently and to respond in time. This helps prevent inconspicuous signs of aging from leading to dangerous situations.

With this, the BMW 5 G30/G31 makes clear that active accident prevention also begins with tire care: with knowledge, responsibility and preventive action.
