Range Rover Evoque - TYRE VALVES; REPLACEMENT TYRES

7. Refit the valve cap.
TYRE VALVES
Keep the 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 twist or bend the valves
when attaching a pressure hose or
gauge, as damage may result.
REPLACEMENT TYRES
Always fit replacement tyres of
the same type, and wherever
possible, of the same make and
tread pattern. Failure to fit the
same type, make and tread
pattern may reduce vehicle
stability.
The load and speed index ratings
on all replacement tyres must be,
at least, the same specification as
the vehicle's original equipment.
If in doubt, consult a Retailer/
Authorised Repairer.
If lower speed rated specialist
tyres are fitted (e.g., winter tyres
or off-road tyres), the vehicle
must be driven within the speed
limitations of the tyres. Consult a
Retailer/Authorised Repairer for
further information. In markets
that require a tyre's maximum
speed label to be fitted, the tyre's
maximum speed label should be
placed within the driver's field of
vision. These can be obtained
from the tyre retailer.
Do not rotate the tyres around
the vehicle.
If the use of tyres not
recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer is unavoidable,
make sure you read, and fully
comply with, the tyre
manufacturer’s instructions.
Tyre removal and fitting should be
carried out by a Retailer/Authorised
Repairer.
When removing a tyre from a wheel
or fitting a tyre to a wheel, make
sure the Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) sensor is not
damaged.
When the tread has worn down to
approximately 2 mm, wear indicators start
to appear at the surface of the tread
pattern. This produces a continuous band
of rubber across the tread, as a visual
reminder.
Tyres should be renewed in sets of 4. If
this is not possible, renew the tyres in pairs
(both front or both rear). When tyres are
replaced, the wheels should always be re-
balanced and the alignment checked.
For the correct tyre specification and
pressures, see 237, TYRE PRESSURES.
Alternatively, contact a Retailer/Authorised
Repairer for advice.
Replacement TPMS sensor
If a new TPMS sensor is to be fitted to a
standard size running wheel on the
vehicle, it should be installed by a Retailer/
Authorised Repairer. The vehicle needs to
be stationary for 15 minutes during the
sensor fitment, before the system is ready
to detect the new sensor. The vehicle must
be driven for a minimum of 15 minutes
after the sensor change, and then remain
stationary for 15 minutes to activate full
TPMS operation.
