Land Rover Tyre Guide and Wheel Alignment

Complete Land Rover tyre guide covering recommended tyre types, tread depth, pressure monitoring, wheel alignment, and common tyre wear patterns on Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Discovery.

Tyres are your Land Rover's only contact with the road, making them critical for safety, handling, and fuel economy. At GSR Garage in Telford, we provide tyre fitting, balancing, and wheel alignment services for all Land Rover models. The correct tyre pressures for your Land Rover can be found in the owner's manual or on the fuel filler flap. Under-inflated tyres increase fuel consumption and wear prematurely on the edges, while over-inflated tyres reduce grip and wear in the centre. For commercial Land Rover vans like the Range Rover, correct tyre pressures are particularly important when carrying heavy loads. electrical parasitic battery drain is something we often see during suspension inspections — worn suspension components cause misalignment, leading to uneven tyre wear. Regular wheel alignment checks help extend tyre life and maintain stable handling. Warning signs of misalignment include the vehicle pulling to one side, a steering wheel that is off-centre when driving straight, and saw-tooth wear patterns on the tyre tread. For Land Rover vehicles, we recommend checking tyre tread depth monthly and before long journeys. The legal minimum tread depth in the UK is 1.6mm, but we recommend replacing tyres at 3mm for better safety in wet conditions. Whether you drive a Land Rover in Telford, Birmingham, or any other Shropshire location, our workshop in Telford is conveniently located to serve you.
