Tyres
Tyres should be replaced in sets of 4. If this is
not possible, replace the tyres in pairs (both
front or both rear). When tyres are replaced,
the wheels should always be re-balanced and
alignment checked.
M+S (mud and snow) tyres have a recognised
level of winter performance and need not be
replaced. The M+S marking on the tyre sidewall
indicates an 'all season' tyre designed for use
all year round, including cold temperatures,
snow and ice.
For the correct tyre specification and pressures
see 240, TYRE PRESSURES
This symbol identifies dedicated
winter tyres, which can be fitted if
optimum winter traction is required,
or the vehicle is to be used in more
extreme winter conditions.
AVOIDING FLAT SPOTS
In areas of extended high ambient temperature,
vehicle tyres can be affected by a softening of
the tyre sidewall. If the vehicle is stationary for
long periods, the effect is to slightly deform the
tyre at the point where the tyre meets the
Note: Dedicated winter tyres often have a lower
speed rating than the original equipment tyres,
and the vehicle must therefore be driven within
the speed limitation of the winter tyre.
standing surface. This is known as a flat spot.
This is normal tyre behaviour. However, when
the vehicle is subsequently driven, vibration
may be experienced from the flat spot. The
condition will steadily improve with extra
mileage.
The tyre pressures indicated on the tyre
information label are for use in all conditions
on the original equipment tyres. If a reduced
speed rating tyre is fitted, the recommended
pressures are only suitable for use below 160
km/h (100 mph).
In order to minimise flat spotting while the
vehicle is stationary for a long period, tyre
pressures can be increased to the maximum as
stated on the tyre sidewall. Tyres must be
returned to the specified running pressures
before driving (see 240, TYRE PRESSURES).
For optimum traction, tyres should be run in for
at least 160 kilometres (100 miles) on dry roads
before driving on snow or ice.

TYRE DEGRADATION
0 inch wheels 255/55 R20
265/50 R20*
Tyres degrade over time due to the effects of
ultraviolet light, extreme temperatures, high
loads, and environmental conditions. It is
recommended that tyres are replaced at least
every 6 years from the date of manufacture, but
they may require replacement more frequently.

USING WINTER TYRES
In many countries legislation exists that requires
the use of winter tyres during specified periods
of the year.
Use of dedicated winter tyres may require a
change of wheel size, depending on original
choice of wheel. All 4 wheels must be changed.

Automotive readers have rated 2014-2015 Land Rover Range Rover Handbook Manual 3.0 out of 3.0 based on 1 product reviews. I stopped to buy fuel. On shifting to D to move, my range rover could not move, but low gear light continued to blink. The low gear button remained stiff. What is wrong?
