Can I drive my BMW on a flat tire?

Driving on a flat or underinflated tire can put extra stress on your wheels and alignment. While it’s sometimes necessary to drive a short distance on a flat tire to get to a safe place, don’t take any other trips in your M850i xDrive Gran Coupe until you can have the flat tire repaired or replaced.

Is temporary sealant bad for my BMW's tires?

A temporary sealant may be able to help you get to a repair location safely. But temporary or emergency sealants could possibly damage TPMS sensors, and in some cases may even void the warranty on your Bridgestone or Firestone tires. If your tire needs extensive repair, sealant can add time and labor costs to the process.

Can’t I just keep my spare tire on for a while?

While this sounds great in theory, keep in mind that most spare tires are not designed for distance or speed. The compact spare tire that most likely sits inside your 2023 BMW M850i xDrive Gran Coupe is intended for only a few days of use, so don’t use it as a substitute for getting your tire repaired.

Who can repair BMW M850i xDrive Gran Coupe tires?

In most cases, your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care can handle your BMW M850i xDrive Gran Coupe tire repair. Ultimately, the severity of the damage will determine if your tires can be repaired.

What is causing the tires on my M850i xDrive Gran Coupe to keep losing air?

Tire punctures, damaged wheels, and leaking valve stems are possible reasons for your M850i xDrive Gran Coupe tires continuously losing air.

Can I replace just one or two tires on my BMW M850i xDrive Gran Coupe?

When replacing the tires on your M850i xDrive Gran Coupe, it's best to err on the side of caution and replace them in pairs or all four at once.

Get Your BMW M850i xDrive Gran Coupe Tire Repaired

Urban areas are booming. Roads are expanding. There's construction around every corner! New progress is exciting, but the road debris it leaves behind may mean trouble for your tires. If your 2023 BMW M850i xDrive Gran Coupe is in need of a tire inspection or possible flat tire repair, Firestone Complete Auto Care has your back. There’s a chance your tire could be plugged and patched (rather than replaced). Our technicians can inspect your tire and let you know if it is safe to repair. We'll start by evaluating the state of wear, the location of damage, type of damage, and the size of the damage.

If we determine that your 2023 BMW M850i xDrive Gran Coupe tire can be safely repaired, we'll follow three basic steps to repair it: (1) Separate the tire from the vehicle wheel, (2) use a filler to close up the puncture (this is to keep moisture from getting in), and (3) secure and seal the inner tire liner to ensure the tire is airtight.

BMW M850i xDrive Gran Coupe Tire Replacement

Unfortunately, some 2023 BMW M850i xDrive Gran Coupe tire damage can’t be effectively repaired. For tires that have less than 2/32nd inch of tread left, a repair simply isn’t possible – even if the tire damage is minimal. Tires with this tread depth or less are no longer safe, so it’s time to replace the damaged tire. Other tire damage that can't be safely repaired includes a puncture in the tire that is ¼ inch or greater in diameter; a puncture in the tire sidewall (or anywhere else that’s not within the tread area); multiple punctures that are too close together (less than 16 inches between them); and a tire with cuts or tread separation.

Depending on what BMW recommends for your car, you’ll want to consider purchasing one new tire, two new tires, or a new full set. Manufacturers of AWD vehicles, for example, often recommend replacing all four tires at once because AWD systems need uniform tires to operate properly. But, if you’ve recently replaced your tires and they don’t have significant wear, a new set might not be needed. It’s possible that you will only need to replace the tire that’s damaged – just make sure it’s the same size, type, and brand as the rest of your tires. Need help? A tire technician can walk you through the options and help you determine what’s best for your vehicle’s performance and longevity.

Do I Need a Tire Inspection for My BMW M850i xDrive Gran Coupe?

A flat tire? That’s pretty hard to ignore. But other tire damage? It’s not always obvious! Bent tire rims, bulging tire sidewalls, leaks under your car, or noise from your exhaust system can all point to tire-related damage that should be addressed quickly. Bring your 2023 BMW M850i xDrive Gran Coupe in for a tire inspection so we can assess the damage and help keep you safe on the road.
