Winter Tire Program Launched by BMW

27 September 2010 | No Comments » | Jeroen

BMW has set in motion a high-quality winter tire program intended to assist drivers get the best on-road operation from their car during the winter months – not considering the weather conditions.

Varying tyres to go well with different seasons is already part of normal driving in most of Europe. But now for the 1st time in the UK a BMW winter wheel and tyre package is being made accessible. Summer tires equipped as normal tools by all automakers function best at temperatures above 7°C. This entails summer tires fixed by BMW offer superb degrees of grip, speeding up, stopping, and ease and fuel economy in usual road situations. On the other hand, once the external air temperature nears the freezing point the rubber in summer tires indurate, which takes away their performance. In true wintry situations of snow and ice, as plagued all of the UK originally this year, tire functioning is even poorer.

The gains of such a package are double. The BMW’s performance will be the best during harsh weather, but if the winter is mild, then wear of the tire would be reduced with an increased wet weather hold and operation.

A true BMW fan have already heard from the concept of BMW. The BMW Gran Coupé.
This will be an elegant sportive coupe with a length  of almost 5 meters, and is even 10 centimeters lower than the new 5-Series.

On the Beijing International Automotive Exhibition they showed it to the public, and we think this should fit more then perfect in the actual BMW design line.

We can’t wait till it’s on the market! Tell us what you think about this new Coupe, do you think it’s a hot ride?
