How to Read Tire Size
Type of Tire
Take a moment to look at your tire. The first letter there is most likely a P. This indicates the type of tire that you have. The P means you have a P-Metric tire. A P-Metric tire is one that was made in the U.S. in accordance with strict passenger vehicle guidelines. If you have a light truck, your tire will have an LT. This can be found at the start or at the end of the tire size. If there is no letter at the beginning, you have a Euro-Metric tire that may have different load capacities.
Other Markings
Besides the tire size, other markings on your tires are good to know. They are as follows:
- DOT Symbol. When you see this on your tire, it means the tire meets the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
- Tire ID Number. This number tells you where and when the tire was manufactured.
- Air Pressure. The maximum pressure number tells you how much air pressure your tire can hold.
- Tire Pressure Monitoring Light
- Bulging or Tearing Sidewalls
- Worn Down Tread
Our Reviews
Adam is great and communicated well. Mechanic gave good video of the car and mentioned what is necessary to be done. Always great to come back to this place for service or purchase. Service overall is great and the car was cleaned in and out! Thank you, Adam and the team for the great service!
I was called promptly when car was ready. They helped me out by ordering an accessory that was not available at the dealer and had it for me when I came for service apptment.
I brought my car.in for service with a loaner car. My wife went on my behalf and was going to wait. After I needed a part which had to be ordered, my wife came home with a loaner. Adam was our service manager and he is the best!!
I always receive great treatment at Stratham BMW. Adam Silvani is the best- available, patient and professional!

Friendly service, I didn't have to wait long. Quick and easy. Offered a loaner vehicle.
I moved from Illinois where I serviced my BMW’s for years. The customer service there was fabulous and I was a bit nervous going to a new place after 25 years. My worries were wasted as the client service by Cory was fabulous and the work on my car was phenomenal. I had new brakes, tires rotated and my car detailed and it is like new. Thoroughly impressed!!! My new favorite place!! Thank you!!!!

The service rep Noah was very accommodating and stopped by me about every hour to give me an update on progress and the mechanic Ken Deem was extremely knowledgeable about what needed to be fixed on my 760i. It had been in an accident and needed the electrical and suspension system checked over. No easy task!

My car was repaired and I am very satisfied with that. Dealerships are very expensive. I did not use any of the BMW perks that were available, such as a loaner or pickup. I did enjoy the Military discount.

I like the low-key vibe and the fact that they do not push doing repairs that are not absolutely necessary.

Andrew and salesman weee great. Finance manager should be fired for his high pressure outright lies. Terrible time cancelling unwanted extras for his commission. Still trying to cancel one
Everyone always very kind, helpful and knowledgable. Great communication. Dealership is always clean. They are usually on time with car being taken in and ready.
Had a great experience at BMW of Stratham. They completed multiple service requests while I waited, and I was on my way by lunchtime. They even informed me of an open recall item that I wasn’t aware of and took care of that at the same time! That was much more convenient than having to schedule an additional visit. Our service advisor Cory was courteous and professional.
BMW of Stratham went over & an over to accommodate me picking my car up & returning it when the service was done. I highly recommend their service department!
Great service at fair price. Appointment kept on time service updates received while I waited in comfortable waiting area well stocked with complimentary beverages and snacks.
I had an excellent experience with the dealership. My prior BMW x5 was purchased new less than a year ago and was totaled by a reckless driver hitting me. The thought of buying another car was pretty stressful, but I knew to reach out to Scot Murby since I had just worked with him less than a year ago.
I had a few things that were really important to me—the color, the driver-assist features, and the tow hitch—and I didn’t have the time to build something custom. Scot searched the country and was able to find a ... Read More DealerRater - Apr 27, 2026
I am fully satisfied with your service. I always remember my BMW service technician for their extraordinary job
Excellent service and communication between service advisor and the customer. I would recommend this dealership without reservation.
I had to take my X5 in after the engine light came on due to a prior accident and repair down in Florida. I am not a previous customer but they still worked with my insurance and the original repair shop to help me get the issue resolved promptly.
The service staff is exceptional. They go above and beyond to ensure your car is well cared for and serviced properly. I trust their high level of expertise implicitly.
Nice folks and an easy to understand transaction. Great product and test drives to get a good feel for the car.
Adam and Paul are amazing! & are the reason I come to this dealership and this delarship only for repairs.

Always a good experience when I work with Paul in the Service Center, this time was no different
I had a very positive experience at BMW of Stratham. I stopped by near the end of the day to pick up brake parts I had ordered online, and while I was there, I checked in with the service department to get a quote for installing rear brake pads and rotors.
Even though Adam Webster was about to leave for the day, he still took the time to help me. He let me know about a brake special they were running, which ended up saving me money. Since my brake light was on, I was hoping to get the work ... Read More DealerRater - Apr 14, 2026
The service department is absolutely excellent from check in, to the service done on the car, to checkout. They suggest but never pressure. Everyone is kind, considerate, and helpful. Very professional. If your not having your service done here, your cheating yourself!

Our sales rep Steve Hazzard was exceptional! Really great BMW knowledge and excellent people skills
BMW of Stratham really came through for me when I needed them! I was traveling from Connecticut to Dover and had a tire puncture while on I95. Not only did they arrange for a tire delivery for the very next day, but they also arranged for rides to and from my destination so I could keep my plans. Pawel communicated updates and the whole team went above + beyond to help me!
Very good customer service and efficient repair time. Also provides clear overview of the issues
The service here is always top notch very well organized, and the communication is outstanding very friendly environment
Today I had my second service experience with this dealership and it was exceptional. I’ve been a BMW customer for 30 years and have service at 10-15 different dealerships from Princeton NJ to Austin, TX to Palm Springs, CA and BMW of Stratham is, hands down, the best I’ve experienced.
