Make sure the relevant safety warnings have been read and understood before replacing a tyre. See REPLACEMENT TYRES.

Make sure the following warnings have been read and fully understood before driving the vehicle. Failure to do so may result in an accident, potentially leading to serious injury or death.
Make sure to read and fully understand the following warnings. Failure to comply with the safety instructions could result in an accident, leading to serious injury or death.
For vehicles with TPMS, it is possible to adjust the pressure of a warm tyre, providing the advised pressures are used. See TYRE PRESSURE CHECK.
TYRE PRESSURES
Make sure to read and fully understand the following safety warnings and cautions before checking, and adjusting the tyre pressures. See TYRE PRESSURE SAFETY.
For vehicles with Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), inflate the tyres to the advised pressures displayed, in brackets, in the instrument panel. See TYRE PRESSURE CHECK.
Confirm that the TPMS is set for the correct vehicle loading. See VEHICLE LOADING.
When the tyres are cold, inflate to the recommended cold tyre pressures, shown on the tyre pressure label, if:
See TYRE PRESSURE LABEL.
The following procedure must be used to adjust the tyre pressures:
The recommended cold inflation tyre pressures are listed on a label in the front door opening, or on a label on the underside of the front door.
The pressures on the label provide optimum ride and handling characteristics for all normal operating conditions.
The label contains the following information:
Keep the tyre valve caps screwed down firmly to prevent water or dirt from entering the valve. Check the valves for leaks when checking the tyre pressures.
Do not use metal valve caps, as these can corrode onto the valve threads and be difficult or impossible to remove.
Make sure to read and fully understand the following warnings and cautions. Failure to comply with the safety instructions could result in damage to the vehicle, or an accident, leading to serious injury or death.
If in doubt about the spare wheel fitment, consult a retailer/authorised repairer.
When the tread has worn down to approximately 2 mm, wear indicators start to appear at the surface of the tread pattern. Wear indicators produce a continuous band of rubber across the tread, as a visual reminder.
It is recommended that tyres are replaced in sets of four. If this is not possible, replace the tyres in pairs, both front or both rear. When the tyres are replaced, make sure to have the wheels re-balanced and the alignment checked.
Use the correct tyre specification and pressures. Alternatively, contact a retailer/authorised repairer for advice. See TYRE PRESSURES.
Daily ambient temperature variations may cause intermittent, minor tyre pressure changes, which is normal and should not indicate a tyre failure.
To mitigate this condition, check and adjust the tyre pressures to the recommended cold inflation pressures before vehicle use.
In areas of extended high ambient temperature, vehicle tyres can be affected by a softening of the tyre’s sidewall. If the vehicle is stationary for long periods, the tyre deforms at the point where the standing surface meets the tyre.
The tyre deformation described is known as a flat spot and is normal tyre behaviour.
When the vehicle is subsequently driven, a vibration may be experienced from the flat spot. The condition steadily improves with extra mileage.
In order to minimise flat spotting, increase the tyre pressures to the maximum, as stated on the tyre’s sidewall. The tyres must be returned to the specified running pressures before driving. See TYRE PRESSURES and TYRE MARKINGS.
Tyres degrade over time, due to the effects of ultraviolet light, extreme temperatures, high loads, and environmental conditions. It is recommended that all tyres, including the spare tyre, are replaced at least every 6 years from the date of manufacture. However, the tyres may require replacement more frequently.
In many countries, legislation exists that requires the use of winter tyres during specified periods of the year.
The winter tyres symbol identifies dedicated winter tyres. Dedicated winter tyres are recommended if optimum winter traction is required, or if the vehicle is to be used in more extreme winter conditions.
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 up to the tyre’s maximum speed, with a normal vehicle load. Vehicle speed should be restricted to below 160 km/h (100 mph) when heavily loaded.
Winter tyres must be fitted to all four wheels.
For optimum traction, the tyres should be run-in for at least 160 km on dry roads, before driving on snow or ice.
Use of dedicated winter tyres may require a change of wheel size, depending on the original choice of wheel. All four wheels must be changed.
If the wheels fitted have standard rubber valves, the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) warning lamp flashes for 75 seconds and then remains illuminated.
When the original wheels and tyres are refitted, the vehicle needs to travel a short distance to reset the TPMS and extinguish the warning lamp.

Make sure the following warnings have been read and fully understood before using snow chains. Failure to use the snow chains safely could result in an accident, leading to serious injury or death.
If it becomes necessary to fit traction devices, the following points must be observed:
255/70R18.
255/65R19.
255/60R20.
275/45R22.
Contact a retailer/authorised repairer for details and availability of approved snow chains.
All imported tyres meet the requirements of Bureau of India Standards (BIS) and comply with the requirements under Central Motor Vehicle Rules (CMVR) 1989. The tyres are the same as those tyres supplied as original equipment for Land Rover models which are fully Type Approved for the Indian market.
