BMW 528i E12

BMW 528i E12


BMW E12 1972–1981


  • In the ‘70s the more run of the mill E12 5 series BMW; 518, 520, & 520-I fitted 175 HR 14 Michelin XAS tyres.
  • These tyres can be fitted with a Michelin 14E innertube.
  • Our period fitment guides state that 5 series models were released on tubeless wheels with tubeless tyres.
  • You could still fit innertubes to tubeless wheels; perhaps because you have tube-type tyres, a puncture, or you are not confident your rims are airtight.
  • The more top end BMW 5 series cars such as 528 (1974–1976), 528i (1977–1981) & 535i (1980–1981) cars fitted 195/70 R14 tyres, in this size we can recommend the 195/70 VR 14 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36.
  • The Michelin 14F is the correct sized innertube for these tyres.
  • We would suggest fitting all the mid-range E12 5 series BMW cars with the same tyre as the M535, the 205/70 WR 14 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36, for which we can offer the Michelin 14F innertube.

BMW E28 520i


BMW E28 1981–1988


  • If you have 14” wheels on your E28 1980s 5 series BMW, we recommend fitting the 195/70VR14 Pirelli Cinturato CN36.
  • The E 28 BMW 518i, 520i (1981–1988), 525e, 525i (1981–1987) & 528i SE fitted 200/60 VR 390 Michelin TRX.
  • The top of the range 5 series E28 cars; 528i (1981–1987), 535i (1985–1988) & M535i (1985–1988), fitted larger 220/55 WR 390 Michelin TRX.

Michelin TRX Tyres Explained


A few BMW 5 Series fitted a 230/55VR390 tyre when 220/55VR390 tires where hard to find. This size is not currently made, if you have these tyres we recommend switching back to 220/55 WR 390 Michelin TRX tyres, as can be seen from the pictures below!
