Tyres
WARNING
Tyre wear
Some tyres fitted as originalequipment have
wear indicators moulded into the tread
pattern. When the tread has worn down to 1.6
mm (1/16 in) the indicators start appearing at
the surface of the tread pattern, producing the
effect of a continuous band of rubber across
the width of the tyre.
Never drive your vehicle if the tyres are
badly worn, cut or damaged, or if the
pressures are incorrect.
Incorrectlyinflated tyres wear rapidly and
seriously affect the vehicle’s safety and road
handling characteristics.
Atyre MUSTbe replaced as soon as an
indicator band becomes visible or the tread
depth reaches the minimum permitted by
legislation.
Caring for your tyres
Always drive with consideration for the
condition of the tyres and frequentlyinspect
the tread and side walls for signs of distortion
or damage (in particular, look for lumps, cuts
and bulges).
Tread depth must be checked regularly(at
everymaintenance service, or more
frequently). Always replace a tyre before the
tread reaches a remaining depth of 1.6 mm
Tyre pressures
Tyre pressures should be checked at least
once a week with normal road use, but should
be checked DAILYif the vehicle is used
off-road.
(1/16

in). DONOTdrive with tyres worn to
NOTE: After off-road use, checkto make sure
there are no lumps or bulges in the tyres or
exposure of the ply or cord structure.
Check the pressures - including the spare -
when the tyres are cold (air pressure naturally
increases in warm tyres). The recommended
pressures are shown in ’Generaldata’.
Valve caps
Keep the valve caps screwed down firmlyto
prevent dirt from entering the valve.
WARNING
Replacement tyres
Wheelrims and tyres are matched to suit the
handling characteristics of the vehicle. For
safety, ALWAYS checkthat replacement tyres
comply with the manufacturer’s original
specification and that the load rating shown
on the side wall is the same as that of the
originalequipment for a particular territory.
Contact your Land Rover dealer for further
information or assistance.
If the vehicle has been parked in strong
sunlight or is used in high ambient
temperatures, DONOTreduce tyre
pressures; instead, move the vehicle into
shade and allow the tyres to cool before
checking.
