Troubleshooting - Tires

Applies To:

Range Rover Classic | '87 - '95

So many problems can be avoided by simply checking your tire pressure that it should become a regular habit. The wheels on your Range Rover are made of alloy that is very strong and attractive, but can be prone to leak around the bead-particularly in cold climates or when the vehicle is not driven for long periods of time. (The problem might display itself as pull to one side.) Because the Range Rover weighs in at 4,300lbs., it will very quickly ruin tires that are not properly inflated.

If a tire seems to need air often, you should have your garage remount the tire for you. Most garages use a combination lubricant/sealant which should solve your slow leak problem. Before you have your local garage work on your wheels, ask them to be sure to check that they have the correct wheel adapter for their tire machine. The Range Rover center hold is unique and the wheels - although strong - are very brittle and can be easily damaged. Most large garages have the correct equipment. But it is worth the question just to make sure.
