BMW’s 5-series sedans were available with a hybrid drivetrain from ‘11 through ‘15; the ActiveHybrid5 featured a synchronous electric motor along with the turbo inline-6 from the 535i. The ActiveHybrid5 was rated at 23 mpg city/30 mpg highway, a significant jump over the conventional 5 series. Your BMW ActiveHybrid5 would have left the factory with Continental ProContact SSR tires as OEM.
When you shop 2012 BMW ActiveHybrid 5 tires, be mindful that this model uses an offset fitment with different-size tires front and rear. Some of our recommendations would include premium all-season tires like the Goodyear Eagle LS-2 ROF, Continental ContiProContact SSR (with 40k mile warranty) and Pirelli Cinturato P7. For more spirited driving, check out summer and ultra-high-performance tires like the Yokohama Advan Sport and Bridgestone Potenza RE040 RFT . Just be mindful that the softer, stickier tread formulation of summer and UHP tires will stiffen and lose traction on colder days; summer and UHP tires shouldn’t be used when temperatures are below 40-45 degrees F.
