Non-Star Marked Tyres - Affect BMW 'M' Extended Warranty?

[sonnenschein3000]

Evening all,

Does having non-star marked tyres on an M5 (F10) affect the BMW Extended Warranty ("Insured Warranty") in any way?

[Debaser]

I've just bought an approved used BMW fitted with non star marked tyres, so I hope not!

What are the non-star ones?

Kumho Ecsta PS91. I've only changed the rears to these so far. They are very good in my opinion!

The fronts still have star marked Pirelli P Zero.

Admittedly, this was a few years back, but I had an engine replaced under warranty and wasn't running the crap OE Continental tyres that were BMW star marked.

It went in a fair few times for warranty work, and nothing was ever mentioned about the non-starred tyres.

Warranty I wouldn't think so but, some insurance companies are not happy if you move off the 'OE Approved' tyres. Best to check with yours?

Just a suggestion but running an F10 M5 on anything other than the best tyres available feels like a false economy to me. Traction is absolutely at a premium so you want to pick a tyre that means you can get as much out of the car as you can, as often as you can. I struggle to beat MPSS, amazing traction wet or dry and last almost forever.
