Tyres
5.
If the tyre pressure is too high, remove the
AVOIDING FLAT SPOTS
gauge and allow air out of the tyre by
pressing the centre of the valve. Refit the
gauge to the valve and check the pressure.
In order to minimise flat spotting if your vehicle
is parked for a long period of time. The tyre
pressures can be increased to the maximum as
stated on the tyre sidewall, for the period when
the vehicle is stationary. Tyres must be
returned to the specified running pressures
before driving.

Repeat the process, adding or removing air
as required, until the correct tyre pressure
is reached.
Refit the valve cap.
TYRE DEGRADATION
TYRE VALVES
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 six years, but they may require
replacement more frequently.
Keep the valve caps screwed down firmly to
prevent water or dirt entering the valve. Check
the valves for leaks when checking the tyre
pressures.
PUNCTURED TYRES
Do not drive the vehicle with a
punctured tyre. Even if the punctured
tyre has not deflated, it is unsafe to
use, as the tyre may deflate suddenly
at any time.
USING WINTER TYRES
M+S (mud and snow) marking on the tyre
sidewall indicates an 'all season' tyre designed
for use all year round, including cold
temperatures, snow and ice.
REPLACEMENT TYRES
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.
Always fit replacement tyres of the
same type, and wherever possible, of
the same make and tread pattern.
If the use of tyres not recommended by
Land Rover is unavoidable, ensure
that you read, and fully comply with,
the tyre manufacturer’s instructions.
Note that the dedicated winter tyre often has a
lower speed rating than the original equipment
tyre, and the vehicle must therefore be driven
within the speed limitation of the tyre.
Ideally, tyres should be replaced in sets of four.
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.
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
The correct tyre specification for your vehicle
can be found on the tyre information label. See
