Make sure the relevant safety warnings have been read and understood before replacing a tire. See REPLACEMENT TIRES.
All replacement tires must be the same specification as the original equipment tires, except for approved winter tires, off-road tires, and Professional Off-Road (POR) tires. If in doubt, consult a retailer/authorized repairer. Failing to comply with these rules can lead to accidents, potentially causing serious injury or death.
Approved tires are identified by the brand mark J, LR, or J LR. Brand markings are specifically excluded for winter and POR tires.

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.
Do not drive the vehicle if a tire is damaged, excessively worn, or incorrectly inflated. A tire in such a condition may catastrophically fail.
Avoid contaminating the tires with vehicle fluids. Vehicle fluids may cause damage to the tire and cause tire failure.
Avoid spinning the wheels. The forces released can damage the structure of the tire and cause tire failure.
If wheel spin is unavoidable due to a loss of traction, e.g., in deep snow, do not exceed the 30 mph (50 km/h) point on the speedometer. Do not allow anyone to stand near or directly behind a tire that might spin.
Do not exceed the maximum pressure stated on the sidewall of the tire.
Tire condition should be checked after the vehicle has been used off-road. As soon as the vehicle returns to a normal, hard road surface, stop and check for damage to the tires.
Check all the vehicle’s tires, including the spare, regularly for damage, wear, and distortion. If in any doubt about the condition of a tire, have it checked immediately by a tire repair center or a retailer/authorized repairer.
The recommended tire pressures are listed on a label located in the driver’s door opening.
The pressures provide optimum ride and handling characteristics for all normal operating conditions.
The label contains the following information:
The labels must not be changed, even if different wheels and tires are fitted at a later stage.
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.
All tire pressures, including the spare, should be checked regularly using an accurate pressure gauge, when the tires are cold. Failure to properly maintain your tire pressures could increase the risk of tire failure resulting in a loss of vehicle control and potential personal injury.
Pressure checks should be carried out only when the tires are cold, and the vehicle has been stationary for more than three hours. A hot tire, at or below the recommended cold inflation pressure is dangerously under-inflated.
Never drive the vehicle if the tire pressures are incorrect. Under-inflation causes excessive flexing and uneven tire wear. This can lead to sudden tire failure. Over-inflation causes harsh ride, uneven tire wear and poor handling.
Do not drive the vehicle with a leaking tire. Even if the tire appears to be inflated it could be dangerously under-inflated and will continue to deflate. Replace the tire or contact an approved repairer.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
If the vehicle has been parked in strong sunlight, or used in high ambient temperatures, do not reduce the tire pressures. Move the vehicle into the shade and allow the tires to cool before rechecking the pressures.
Information on the vehicles tire pressures may be found at the following locations:
Check the tires, including the spare, for condition and pressure on a weekly basis and before long trips.
If the tire pressures are checked while the vehicle is inside a protected, covered area, e.g., a garage, and then subsequently driven in lower outdoor temperatures, tire under-inflation could occur.
A slight pressure loss occurs naturally with time. If this exceeds 2 psi (0.14 bar) per week, have the cause investigated and rectified by qualified personnel.
If it is necessary to check tire pressures when the tires are warm, expect the pressures to have increased by up to 4 to 6 psi (0.3 to 0.4 bar). Do not reduce the tire pressures to the cold inflation pressure under these circumstances. Allow the tires to cool fully before adjusting the pressures.
For vehicles with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) it is possible to adjust the pressure of a warm tire, providing the warm inflation pressures are used. See TIRE PRESSURE CHECK.
The loading of the vehicle should always be considered when checking and adjusting tire pressures. Failure to do so may lead to loss of driving control, potentially causing serious injury or death.
To avoid damaging the valves, do not apply excessive force or sideways force on the gauge and/or inflator.
To avoid damage to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) valves, it is recommended not to use rigid tire inflation wands. This is to avoid the risk of excess leverage and sideways pressure on the valve.
The following procedure should be used to check and adjust the tire pressures:
| Tire size | Light load | Normal load | ||

The full-size spare tire’s pressure should always be maintained at the highest recommended cold inflation tire pressure for that tire size. The recommended cold inflation tire pressures are displayed on the tire pressure label. The highest recommended pressure is usually for the rear tires at a heavy load. See TIRE PRESSURE LABEL.
For the latest available information on the tire pressures visit: www.ownerinfo.landrover.com.
Do not twist or bend the tire valves when attaching a pressure hose or gauge. Doing so may cause damage, leading to tire failure. Death or serious injury may result.
Keep the tire valve caps screwed down firmly to prevent water or dirt from entering the valve. Check the valves for leaks when checking the tire pressures.
Do not use metal valve caps, as these can corrode onto the valve threads and be difficult or impossible to remove.
Make sure the following warnings and notices have been read and fully understood. Failure to comply with the safety instructions could result in damage to the vehicle, or an accident, leading to serious injury or death.
Always fit replacement tires of the same type and, wherever possible, of the same make and tread pattern as the original. Failure to comply may reduce vehicle stability, efficiency, and range.
The load index and speed ratings on all replacement tires must be at least the same specification as the vehicle’s original equipment. If in doubt, consult a retailer/authorized repairer.
If the use of tires not recommended by the vehicle manufacturer is unavoidable make sure to read and fully comply with, the tire manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to do so may lead to tire failure due to incorrect fitting or use.
Drive within the speed limitations of the tires, especially if lower speed-rated tires are fitted, e.g., winter tires, off-road, or Professional Off-Road (POR) tires. In markets that require a tire’s maximum speed label to be fitted, the label should be placed within the driver’s field of vision. Tire maximum speed labels can be obtained from the tire retailer. Consult a retailer/authorized repairer for further information.
Tire removal and fitting should only be carried out by a retailer/authorized repairer.
Make sure that the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor is not damaged during a tire change.
When the tread has worn down to approximately 0.07 in (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 tires should be replaced in sets of four. If this is not possible, replace the tires in pairs, both front or both rear. When tires are replaced, the wheels should always be re-balanced and the alignment checked.
Use the correct tire specification and pressures. Alternatively, contact a retailer/authorized repairer for advice. See TIRE PRESSURES or TIRE PRESSURE LABEL.
Daily ambient temperature variations may cause intermittent, minor tire pressure changes, which is normal and should not indicate a tire failure.
To mitigate this condition, check and adjust the tire pressures to the recommended cold inflation pressures before vehicle use.
Make sure that the correct tire pressures are maintained when moving to areas of differing ambient temperature. See TIRE PRESSURES and TIRE PRESSURE LABEL.
In areas of extended high ambient temperature, vehicle tires can be affected by a softening of the tire’s sidewall. If the vehicle is stationary for long periods, the tire deforms at the point where the standing surface meets the tire.
The tire deformation described is known as a flat spot and is normal tire behavior.
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 minimize flat spotting, increase the tire pressures to the maximum, as stated on the tire’s sidewall. The tires must be returned to the specified running pressures before driving. See TIRE PRESSURES and TIRE MARKINGS.
Tires degrade over time, due to the effects of ultraviolet light, extreme temperatures, high loads, and environmental conditions. It is recommended that all tires, including the spare, are replaced at least every 6 years from the date of manufacture. However, the tires may require replacement more frequently.
A dedicated winter tire often has a lower speed rating than the original equipment tire. Consequently, the vehicle must be driven within the speed limitation of the winter tire. Consult a retailer/authorized repairer for further information. In markets that require a tire’s maximum speed label to be fitted, make sure to place the label within the driver’s field of vision. Maximum speed labels can be obtained from the tire retailer. Failure to adhere to the winter tire’s speed limit may result in an accident, leading to serious injury or death.
M+S tires have a recognized level of winter performance. However, the M+S marking on the sidewall of the tire does not necessarily indicate that the tire is a dedicated winter tire. The M+S marking on an all-season tire indicates that it is designed for use all year round, including in cold temperatures, snow, and ice. The performance of all-season tires is generally inferior to a dedicated winter tire in conditions specific to winter.
In many countries, legislation exists that requires the use of winter tires during specified periods of the year.
The winter tires symbol identifies dedicated winter tires. Dedicated winter tires are recommended if optimum winter traction is required or the vehicle is to be used in more extreme winter conditions.
The tire pressures indicated on the tire information label are for use in all conditions on the original equipment tires. If a reduced speed-rating tire is fitted, the recommended pressures are only suitable up to the tire’s maximum speed, with a light vehicle load. Vehicle speed should be restricted to below 100 mph (160 km/h) when normally loaded.
Winter tires must be fitted to all four wheels.
For optimum traction, winter tires should be run in for at least 100 miles (160 km) on dry roads, before driving on snow or ice.
Use of dedicated winter tires may require a change of wheel size, depending on the original choice of wheel. All four wheels must be changed.
If fitted with standard rubber valves, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) warning lamp flashes for 75 seconds and then remains illuminated. The instrument panel also displays TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM FAULT.
When the original wheels and tires are refitted, the vehicle needs to travel a short distance to reset the TPMS and extinguish the warning lamp.

Ultra High Performance Tires. This vehicle may be equipped with Ultra High Performance (UHP) tire and wheel combinations designed to provide maximum dry road performance with consideration for hydroplaning resistance. These low profile high speed rated tires may be more susceptible to damage from road hazards. UHP tires have performance enhancing soft rubber tread compounds, which when driven aggressively experience rapid tread wear and shorter life than less performance oriented tires. These tires are not recommended for driving on snow or ice, and should be replaced with winter tires when weather conditions dictate.
The vehicle may be equipped with high performance low profile wheel and tire combinations. These low profile high speed rated tires may be more susceptible to damage from road hazards, and may not give optimum performance on snow and ice; for improved performance winter tires should be fitted when conditions dictate.
The vehicle may be equipped with the optional high performance 295/40 R22 112Y summer tires, which offer improved on-road performance.
The tires have limited off-road and winter performance, and where conditions dictate, should be replaced with the standard all terrain 275/40R22 108V M&S tires or an approved winter tire.
295/40 R22 112Y summer tires are only approved for fitment to the specified optional fit SVR vehicle derivative, and must not be fitted to other vehicle derivatives. Do not fit these tires, in any combination, with other 22″ standard all-terrain M+S marked tires or winter tires. Failure to comply with these safety instructions could result in an accident, leading to serious injury or death.
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.
Only use traction devices in heavy snow conditions, on compacted snow.
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) must be switched off when using traction devices.
Never exceed 30 mph (50 km/h) when traction devices are fitted.
Never fit traction devices to a temporary-use spare wheel.
Traction devices approved by the vehicle manufacturer may be used to improve traction in heavy snow conditions, on compacted snow. Traction devices should not be used in off-road conditions where there is no compacted snow.
If it becomes necessary to fit traction devices, the following points must be observed:
235/65R19
255/55R20
275/45R21
275/40R22
Contact a retailer/authorized repairer for details and availability of approved snow chains.
When using snow chains, select the grass gravel snow program. See GRASS GRAVEL SNOW.
The following information relates to the tire grading system developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) which grades tires by treadwear, traction, and temperature performance.
Tires that have deep tread, and winter tires, are exempt from these marking requirements.
Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width. For example:
Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A
In addition to the marking requirements, passenger car tires must conform to Federal Safety Requirements.
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1½) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.
The vehicle should be checked by a retailer/authorized repairer as soon as possible if treadwear is uneven across the tire, or a tire wears excessively.
When the tread has worn down to approximately 0.07 in (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 indicator.
Wear indicators show the minimum tread depth recommended by the manufacturers. Tires which have worn to this point will have reduced grip and poor water displacement characteristics. Worn tires can lead to accidents, with the potential to cause serious injury or death.
Local legislation may determine a greater minimum tread depth to that shown by the tire wear indicators. Making sure that the tread depth meets the local legal requirements remains the responsibility of the driver. Do not rely on the tread depth indicators alone.
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. The grades represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead braking traction tests and does not include acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure.
The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Safety Standard No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.
Warning: The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.
lbf/in² or psi: Pounds per square inch, an imperial unit of measure for pressure.
kPa: Kilopascal, a metric unit of measure for pressure.
Cold tire pressure: The air pressure in a tire which has been standing in excess of 3 hours, or driven for less than 1 mile.
Recommended tire pressures: The pressure to which the tires should be inflated, dependent on vehicle load and tire temperature.
Maximum permissible inflation pressure: The maximum pressure to which the tire should be inflated. The pressure is given on the tire’s sidewall in lbf/in² (psi) and kPa.
The pressure is the maximum allowed by the tire manufacturer, not the pressure recommended for use.
Curb weight: The weight of a standard vehicle, including:
Accessory weight: The combined weight, in excess of those items replaced, of items available as factory fitted equipment.
Production options weight: The combined weight of options fitted which weigh in excess of 5 lbs (2.3 kg) more than the standard items that they replaced.
Not to include items already considered in curb or accessory weights. Such items include: heavy duty brakes, high capacity battery, special trim, etc.
Vehicle capacity weight: The number of seats multiplied by 150 lbs (68 kg), plus the rated amount of load and luggage.
Maximum loaded vehicle weight: The sum of the curb weight, accessory weight, vehicle capacity weight, plus any production option weights.
Rim: The metal support for a tire, or tire and tube, upon which the tire beads are seated.
Bead: The inner edge of a tire that is shaped to fit to the rim and form an airtight seal. The bead is constructed of steel wires which are wrapped, or reinforced, by the ply cords.
Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW): The maximum permissible weight of a vehicle with driver, passengers, load, luggage, and equipment.
Make sure the warnings in this topic have been read and fully understood before driving the vehicle. Exceeding the specified load limits could result in an accident, leading to serious injury or death.
The number and weight of passengers affect the cargo and luggage capacity. In the example above, the cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lb. However, if fewer passengers ride in the vehicle, the luggage load capacity increases. If this vehicle carries three 150 lb passengers, the cargo and luggage load capacity increases to 950 lb:
(3 x 150 = 450 lb, and 1400 – 450 = 950 lb).
If the passengers weigh more, the cargo and luggage load capacity decreases.
Do not exceed the vehicle capacity weight (the total weight of driver, passengers, and cargo) given on the tire information label.
The weight of accessories must also be subtracted from the cargo and luggage load capacity. If unsure of the weight of any accessories fitted to the vehicle, contact a retailer/authorized repairer.
Overloading the vehicle will have an adverse effect on braking and handling characteristics, which could compromise safety. Overloading a vehicle may also cause tire damage or failure. Never overload the vehicle.
