We’ve created this guide to answer some of the most common questions our customers ask about Land Rover tire care, maintenance, and replacement. From understanding tire tread depth and the penny test to learning how tire pressure affects performance, we’ll guide you through everything you need to know to protect your investment and ensure every drive feels as refined as it should.

Q: How Often Should I Replace My Land Rover Tires?

Most tires last between 40,000 and 60,000 miles, but several factors can shorten their lifespan, including driving style, climate, and terrain. Vehicles like the Range Rover Velar or Defender may wear tires faster if frequently used off-road. Always check your owner’s manual for Land Rover’s recommended replacement interval, and have your tires inspected at least every 6,000 to 8,000 miles.

If your tread is below the legal minimum of 2/32 of an inch, it’s time for new tires. Use the penny test – place a penny head-down in your tire tread. If you can see all of Lincoln’s head, your tires need to be replaced.

Q: What Are the Signs I Need New Tires?

If your Land Rover shows any of the following symptoms, it may be time for tire service or replacement:

• Uneven Tire Wear or Low Tread Depth
• Vibration While Driving
• Poor Traction or Handling in Wet Conditions
• Cracked Sidewalls or Bulges
• Frequent Low Tire Pressure

Regular inspections at the Land Rover Tire Center in Roanoke can help identify these issues early.

Q: How Can I Extend the Life of My Tires?

Keeping your tires in excellent condition requires consistent care and attention. Here are a few tire care tips that can help you get the most out of your set:

• Check your tire pressure monthly using your vehicle’s onboard system or a gauge.
• Rotate your tires every 6,000–8,000 miles to promote even wear.
• Get wheel alignments annually or after hitting a pothole or curb.
• Inspect your tire tread and sidewalls for damage or irregular patterns.
• Use the correct tires designed for your Land Rover model and climate.

At Land Rover Roanoke’s service center, we’ll make sure your tires are properly inflated, aligned, and balanced during every visit.

Q: Should I Use Winter Tires or All-Season Tires?

Virginia’s changing seasons can impact tire performance. All-season tires are ideal for moderate conditions and year-round driving, while winter tires provide better traction in cold temperatures, ice, or snow. If you frequently travel through mountainous areas or during winter weather, switching to winter tires enhances control and safety.

Our parts center carries genuine Land Rover tires that meet the exact specifications for your vehicle, ensuring consistent performance and comfort.

Q: What’s the Recommended Tire Pressure for My Land Rover?

Proper tire pressure depends on your specific Land Rover or Range Rover model, wheel size, and load. You can find the recommended PSI listed on the driver’s side door jamb or in your owner’s manual. Maintaining proper tire pressure helps:

• Improve Fuel Efficiency
• Enhance Ride Comfort
• Extend Tire Life
• Reduce Braking Distance

If your Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) light comes on, stop by our service center for a quick check. We’ll inspect your tires for leaks, punctures, or faulty sensors.

Q: What Happens During a Tire Service at Land Rover Roanoke?

During a tire service, our certified technicians perform a complete inspection to ensure your Land Rover tires are safe and road-ready. This typically includes:

• Tire Pressure Check and Adjustment
• Tread Depth Measurement
• Tire Rotation and Balancing
• Wheel Alignment Inspection
• Road Test for Handling and Comfort

We use state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to measure your tire tread depth and check alignment angles to Land Rover’s exact standards.

Q: Why Is Tire Rotation Important?

Tire rotation ensures that all four tires wear evenly, improving handling and extending overall tread life. For most Land Rover vehicles, tire rotations are recommended every 6,000 to 8,000 miles, or roughly every oil change. Consistent rotations also protect your suspension system and optimize traction across all wheels – essential for models like the Range Rover Velar and Defender, which feature advanced all-wheel-drive systems.
