BMW CE 02 tires
The BMW CE 02 runs one fitment, 120/80-14 58S. It is staggered: a 120 section at the front and a 150 at the back, so the two can never be swapped across axles and the rear goes first.
Every fitment
| Generation | Trim | Wheel | Tire size | Load index | Speed | Construction | Marking | Pressure |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Current | CE 02 | 14in cast | 120/80-14 front, 150/70-14 rear | 58 | S | SL | none | see plate |
Your own placard is the authority. You will find it on the the specifications section of the owner's manual. Where it disagrees with this page, it wins. Match or exceed the size, load index, speed rating and construction class it gives, and use its pressure figure rather than anything printed on the tire.
What changes on this machine
Fat 14 inch crossply tires: a 120/80 front and a 150/70 rear, which is a wide section for a rim that small.
BMW publishes only the sizes. Michelin's fitment data supplies the ratings, 58S and 66S, meaning 236kg front, 300kg rear and 180km/h.
No tires listed against this fitment yet. Product specifications are published from each manufacturer's own data and that work is not finished for 120/80-14. Match or exceed every figure in the table above and you cannot go far wrong.

Including the manufacturer's own published figure. Neither source is standing next to your vehicle, which is why the placard still wins.
Common questions
- What size tires does the BMW CE 02 take?
- It runs 120/80-14. The exact fitment for your machine is on The specifications section of the owner's manual.
- Can I fit a cheaper tire to a BMW CE 02?
- Only at 120/80-14 58S or better. That is the figure to hold: a tire below the load index, the speed rating or the construction class is not a cheaper one, it is the wrong one.
