Get Tyres Guide for Land Rover Evoque SUV 2020

Tyres

If the vehicle has been parked in

strong sunlight, or used in high

ambient temperatures, do not reduce

the tyre pressures. Move the vehicle

into the shade an allow the tyres to

cool before re-checking the

TYRE CARE

Do not drive the vehicle if a tyre is

damaged, excessively worn, or

incorrectly inflated.

Avoid contaminating the tyres with

vehicle fluids as they may cause

damage to the tyre.

pressures.

Avoid spinning the wheels. The forces

released can damage the structure of

the tyre and cause it to fail.

CHECKING THE TYRE PRESSURES

If wheel spin is unavoidable due to a

loss of traction (in deep snow for

example), do not exceed the 50 km/h

(30 mph) point on the speedometer.

Note: Tyre 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

tyres.

All of the vehicle's tyres (including the spare)

should be checked regularly for damage, wear

and distortion. If you are in any doubt about the

condition of a tyre, have it checked immediately

by a tyre repair centre or your Land Rover

Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

TYRE PRESSURES

Never drive your vehicle if the tyre

pressures are incorrect.

Tyre information label location.

Tyre pressures should be checked

regularly using an accurate pressure

gauge, when the tyres are cold.

Pressure checks should only be

carried out when the tyres are cold,

and the vehicle has been stationary

for more than three hours. A hot tyre

at, or below, recommended cold

inflation pressure, is dangerously

under-inflated.

The following procedure should be used to

check and adjust the tyres pressures.

1. Remove the valve cap.

2. Firmly attach a tyre pressure gauge/inflator

to the valve.

3. Read the tyre pressure from the gauge and

add air if required.

4. If air is added to the tyre, remove the gauge

and re-attach it before reading the

pressure. Failure to do so may result in an

inaccurate reading.

TYRE PRESSURE COMPENSATION

FOR LOW AMBIENT TEMPERATURE

CHANGES

A colder ambient local temperature will reduce

pressure within the tyre. An effect is to

decrease sidewall height and to increase tyre

shoulder wear with the potential for tyre failure.

Vehicle dynamics could also be adversely

affected.

5. If the tyre pressure is too high, remove the

gauge and allow air out of the tyre by

pressing the centre of the valve. Refit the

gauge to the valve and check the pressure.

6. Repeat the process, adding or removing air

as required, until the correct tyre pressure

is reached.

Tyre pressures can be adjusted to compensate

before the start of the journey. Alternatively,

tyre pressures can be adjusted when the area

of lower ambient temperature is reached.

7. Refit the valve cap.

TYRE VALVES

In this situation, the vehicle must be left in the

ambient local temperature for at least one hour

before tyre pressure is adjusted.

Keep the valve caps screwed down firmly to

prevent water or dirt entering the valve. Check

the valves for leaks when checking the tyre

pressures.

To compensate for colder ambient

temperatures, tyre pressures should be

increased by 0.14 bar (2 psi, 14 kPa) for each

10°C (20°F) decrease.

PUNCTURED TYRES

Do not drive the vehicle with a

punctured tyre. Even if the punctured

tyre has not deflated, it is unsafe to

use, as the tyre may deflate suddenly

at any time.

Note: Ensure that correct tyre pressures are

maintained when moving to areas of differing

ambient temperature.

Ideally, tyres should be replaced in sets of 4. If

this is not possible, replace the tyres in pairs

(both front or both rear). When tyres are

replaced, the wheels should always be

re-balanced and alignment checked.

FLAT SPOTS DUE TO LONG TERM

PARKING

USING TRACTION DEVICES

Only use traction devices in heavy

snow conditions, on hard road

surfaces.

In order to minimise flat spotting, the tyre

pressures can be increased to the maximum as

stated on the tyre sidewall, for the period when

the vehicle is stationary. Tyres must be

returned to the specified running pressures

before driving.

Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) must

be switched off when using traction

devices.

Never exceed 50 km/h (30 mph) when

traction devices are fitted.

AGE DEGRADATION

Never fit traction devices to a

temporary use spare wheel.

Tyres degrade over time due to the effects of

ultraviolet light, extreme temperatures, high

loads, and environmental conditions. It is

recommended that tyres are replaced at least

every six years, but they may require

replacement more frequently.

Land Rover approved traction devices may be

used to improve traction on a hard road surface

in heavy snow conditions. They should not be

used in off-road conditions.

If it becomes necessary to fit traction devices,

the following points must be observed:

WINTER TYRES

ꢀ

Only Land Rover approved traction devices

should be used on the vehicle. Only Land

Rover approved traction devices have been

tested to ensure that they do not cause

damage to the vehicle. Contact your Land

Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer for

information.

In many countries legislation exists that

requires the use of winter tyres during

specified periods of the year.

M+S tyres have a recognised level of winter

performance and need not be replaced.

When changing to winter tyres, they must be

fitted to all four wheels.

ꢀ

The wheels and tyres fitted must conform

to the specifications of the original

equipment.

If the vehicle has TPMS but the winter use

wheels and tyres are fitted with standard

rubber valves, the TPM system will search for

a signal. When it finds no response, TYRE

PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM

UNAVAILABLE will be displayed in the

message centre.

ꢀ

Do not fit traction devices to 18, 19 or

20inch diameter wheels.

Single sided Spike-spyder traction devices

or snow chains can be fitted to only the

front wheels of vehicles fitted with 17inch

diameter wheels.

When the original wheels are refitted, the

vehicle will need to travel a short distance

before the TPM system recognises the wheel

sensors. At that point, TYRE PRESSURE

MONITORING SYSTEM AVAILABLE will be

displayed.

ꢀ

Always read, understand and follow the

traction device manufacturer's

instructions.

Avoid tyre/vehicle damage, by removing

the traction devices as soon as the

conditions allow.

TPMS INFLATION PRESSURE

COMPENSATION

If your vehicle is fitted with 18, 19 or 20 inch

wheels with TPMS, they can be replaced with

17 inch wheels with TPMS, so enabling the use

of snow chains or traction devices.

Tyre pressures of vehicles fitted with 17 inch

wheels with TPMS as standard are not affected.

Tyre pressures for other wheel sizes should be

adjusted as shown in the table.
