will using "not BMW approved" tires void warranty

I have not-RFT winter tires mounted, should I change back to "approved" tires before I bring the car to dealer for checking a possible suspension issue?

thanks

They cannot void your warranty due to your winter tires.

No, they cannot and will not void your warranty due to your winter tires not being "BMW approved". I personally think the "BMW Approved" tire thing is a money making scheme. I've owned BMWs for the past 12 years and some of the best tires I've had on them aren't "BMW approved".

I do not know if its different between Uk and USA but in UK they can be difficult on warrantee claims on transmission on X drive models if BMW * tyres are not used. Also the relative tread depth on tyres can be important., both overall and on same axle.

While "non-approved tires" will not void a warranty, using a tire and rim that is not the same specification as the assorted combinations that the vehicle comes with could result in a suspension or drive train warranty claim being denied.

It's not all unicorns and glitter, and different countries have different limitations, but in the US what I stated should suffice.
