WARNING

• ALWAYS use radial-ply tires front and back. DO NOT use bias-ply tires, or interchange tires

from front to back.

• For optimum performance and handling ALWAYS replace tires with the same make and type

as those fitted from new at the factory. If these tires are not available, consult your retailer for advice on Land Rover approved alternatives. Failure to do so may adversely affect vehicle handling.

• NEVER drive your vehicle if the tires are badly worn, cut or damaged, or if the pressures are

incorrect.

• Incorrectly inflated tires wear rapidly and can seriously affect the vehicle's safety and road

handling characteristics.

• Your vehicle is fitted with tubeless road wheels that will NOT accept inner tubes. DO NOT fit

a tube tire.

• ONLY Land Rover approved wheel and tire combinations should be fitted to the vehicle.

NOTE: The pressure for your spare tire should be set to the highest value given for your vehicle’s wheel/tire size combination, and adjusted after fitment. NOTE: When towing a heavily laden trailer, tire pressures should be increased to the maximum specified in the handbook, and road speeds limited to 60 mph (100 km/h).

Tire inflation pressure

It is important that tires be properly inflated. Air pressure enables a tire to support the vehicle load, so proper inflation is critical. Failure to maintain correct inflation pressures may result in rapid and uneven tread wear, erratic vehicle handling and excessive heat build-up, which may result in tire failure. It is impossible to determine if a tire is properly inflated just by looking at it. Tire pressures listed on the vehicle certification label are considered to be the recommended cold tire inflation pressure, at maximum gross vehicle weight condition, measured when the tires are cold, after the vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours or driven less than 3 miles (5 km). Tire pressures at normal opertaing conditions are shown in the table above. When you drive for more than 3 miles (5 km), the tires, and the air inside them, warm up and it is normal for the tire pressure to increase above the recommended cold pressure. When checking tire pressure in this condition, never ‘bleed’ or reduce air pressure.

WARNING If the vehicle has been parked in strong sunlight or used in high ambient temperatures, DO NOT reduce tire pressures; instead, move the vehicle into the shade and allow the tires to cool before checking.

NOTE: A hot tire at or below recommended cold inflation pressure is dangerously under-inflated.

NOTE: Accessory fit off-road tires (with a speed rating of Q or T) are subject to speed restrictions. Q-rated tires should not be used at speeds greater than 100 mph (160 km/h); T-rated tires should not be used at speeds greater than 118 mph (190 km/h).
