What happens if I drive my BMW on a flat tire?

Driving on a flat tire is not a good idea. Your M850i xDrive engine will keep running with a flat tire, but you could damage your wheel by continuing to drive on a flat.

Is temporary sealant bad for my BMW's tires?

A temporary sealant may be able to help you get to a repair location safely.

What’s the harm in using my spare tire for a while?

Don't rely on your spare tire for too long. Your 2019 BMW M850i xDrive may come equipped with a compact spare tire. A spare is different than an everyday tire and is only designed to be driven a certain number of miles at lower speeds.

Where can I get my BMW M850i xDrive tires repaired?

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can generally take care of most BMW M850i xDrive tire repairs. However, it depends on the severity of the damage.

Why do my M850i xDrive tires keep losing air?

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

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

While it may not always be necessary to replace all four tires on your M850i xDrive, it’s advised you replace them in pairs or all at once to ensure optimal safety and performance.

Repairing Your BMW M850i xDrive Tire

Cities are growing. New roads and buildings are springing up. There's construction around every corner! Unfortunately, this can mean a higher chance of a flat or damaged tire caused by debris in the road. Firestone Complete Auto Care is here for you when your 2019 BMW M850i xDrive needs flat tire repair or inspection. In some cases, a tire doesn’t have to be replaced – it can be plugged and patched with a simple repair. Depending on the damage, though, a repair might not be the right move. Our technicians can determine which option is best for your situation. To start, we’ll consider the location of tire damage, the type of issue, the size and scope of the damage, and the amount of wear on your tires.

If a repair on your 2019 BMW M850i xDrive tire is feasible and safe, 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.

Tire Replacement for Your BMW M850i xDrive

Unfortunately, some 2019 BMW M850i xDrive tire damage can’t be effectively repaired. Tires with less than 2/32nd inch tread remaining can't be repaired, no matter how minor the damage. At this tread depth, the tire is worn out and must be replaced. Other tire damage that can't be safely repaired includes a tire with a puncture larger than ¼ inch in diameter; a tire with a puncture or damage outside the tread area; a tire with two or more punctures that are less than 16 inches away from each other; and major cuts or separated treads.

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. For example, it’s usually recommended that you replace all four tires at the same time on AWD vehicles. Why? Because having four identical tires is vital for the AWD system to perform like it’s supposed to. Just replaced your tires and only one is damaged? You may not need to buy another new full set after all. 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.
