BMW 1 Series Tyres

More about the BMW 1 Series

Since 2004, the BMW 1 Series has been marketed as the entry-level option in the German manufacturer's range. Now in its second generation, the 1 Series is mostly sold as a rear-wheel-drive vehicle and is renowned for its fun and easy drive. 

A key selling point of the 1 Series is its versatility, with smart features and handling to make light work of urban driving and some added comforts that aid longer journeys on the motorway. Newer models can pack a punch with the topline engine boasting 187bhp and 0-62mph in 7.3 seconds. But it's not just about the need for speed, with 61.4mpg representing great fuel efficiency.

This family hatchback provides enough boot space for three decent-sized suitcases, without skimping too much on legroom – an area the 1 Series does better in than some rivals such as the Mercedes A-Class.

What size tyres do I need for my BMW 1 Series?

The first generation of the 1 Series was available as a hatchback, coupe and convertible. Due to this, the vehicle is compatible with a variety of tyres and the four most popular sizes for the BMW 1 Series are:

• 205/50 R17 V
• 225/45 R17 V
• 215/40 R18 Y
• 245/35 R18 Y

If you're unsure which tyre size you need for your model, you can find this information on the sidewall of the tyre you're looking to replace. Alternatively, try our quick and easy search tool at the top of the page and we'll tell you which size tyre you need. 

Are there different BMW 1 Series tyre types available?

BMW 1 Series cars offer a well-rounded drive when equipped with the right tyres. You can pick up the following types to optimise their performance throughout the changing seasons:

• BMW 1 Series winter tyres - With a high natural rubber composition and deeper tread depths, winter tyres offer your 1 Series greater traction. This ensures your car is equipped to keep you safer in wet, snowy or icy weather conditions.
• BMW 1 Series summer tyres - These feature much lower levels of natural rubber and a shallower tread depth for better performance on dry roads. This increases fuel-efficiency, potentially saving you money at the pumps through the warmer months.
• BMW 1 Series all-season tyres - All-season options are a blend of the two other alternatives with medium tread depths and natural rubber composition. All season tyres provide a balanced performance for consistent peace of mind as the year passes.

BMW 1 Series tyre FAQs

Just look for the   icon on the tyre listings to see which ones we have available.

Do BMW 1 Series cars have a spare tyre?

No, your BMW 1 Series shouldn't come with a spare tyre. Your car should instead be fitted with run flat tyres as standard and have a repair kit available, so you shouldn't need a spare tyre in any circumstances. If you do suffer a puncture, it's likely that the strengthened tyre sidewall will support your car as you complete your journey. From there, you can arrange a replacement at your convenience.

Do winter tyres work on a BMW 1 Series?

Yes, they do. You can put winter tyres on your BMW 1 Series to enhance performance and safety on wet or icy roads.

What PSI should my BMW 1 Series tyres be?

Your PSI should typically be somewhere between 30 and 35. Always check the information in your vehicle handbook for guidance on recommended tyre pressures for increased comfort and fuel efficiency.

Should I opt for premium tyres for my BMW 1 Series?

Choosing between budget or premium tends to come down to your driving habits and how much you want to spend. Premium tyres tend to have better technology, which can enhance safety, driving performance and fuel efficiency but you'll pay a higher price. Budget tyres, however, cost significantly less and still adhere to all UK tyre laws and safety standards.
