Replacement tyres
Wheel rims and tyres are matched to suit the
handling characteristics of the vehicle. For
safety, ALWAYS check that replacement tyres
comply with the manufacturer’s original
specification and that the load rating shown
on the side wall is the same as that of the
original equipment. Contact your Land Rover
dealer for further information or assistance.
WARNING
ALWAYS use the same make and type of
radial-ply tyres front and back. DO NOT use
cross-ply or tubed tyres, and DO NOT
interchange tyres from front to back.
Do not replace wheels with any type other
than genuine Land Rover parts. Wheels and
tyres are designed for both off-road and
on-road use and have a very important
influence upon the correct operation of the
suspension systems and vehicle handling.
Alternative wheels, which do not meet
original equipment specifications, should
not be fitted.
NOTE: Tyre sizes and pressures are shown in
’General data’.
Snow chains
Land Rover approved snow chains are
designed for on-road use in extreme snow
conditions only, and are not recommended for
off-road use. ALWAYS observe the following

• ONLY Land Rover approved chains may
be fitted. They must be fitted in axle sets
to the front wheels or to all four wheels.

and retensioning instructions and the
speed limitations recommended for
varying road conditions. NEVER exceed 30
mph (50 km/h).
• To avoid tyre damage, do not drive over
curbs, potholes or obstructions in the road
and remove snow chains as soon as
highway conditions allow.
For further information about approved snow
chains, consult your Land Rover dealer.

DO NOT fit unapproved snow chains as they
