The BMW Group has selected Vredestein Ultrac summer tyres as original equipment for its BMW X2 and 5 Series models. It is also extending an existing supply agreement for the BMW X1 to encompass an additional Ultrac size option.
Continental has won a new tyre supply deal for BMW’s latest 5 Series. The tyre manufacturer will supply the SportContact 7 for sporty driving, the energy efficient EcoContact 6 Q summer tyre, and the WinterContact TS 860 S winter tyre after its products were approved for the entire series, including the all-electric i5.
Production of the G60/G61/G68 BMW 5 Series has commenced, and the first deliveries will begin any time now. UK-spec M Sport models of this eighth-generation BMW executive saloon come with 19-inch light alloy wheels as standard equipment, while M Sport Pro models receive 20-inch light alloy wheels. BMW UK says the enlarged diameter over its predecessor’s rims gives the vehicle an “even more sporty presence.” Options available for all versions include 20-inch and 21-inch light alloy wheels, and the BMW list of approved rims and tyres for the G60 also includes an 18-inch fitment.
