Every Week: Look Over Your Range Rover Tires

The first part of Range Rover tire maintenance is to perform a visual inspection of all four tires at least once a week. That means looking at them when you get gas or after your work week is over in La Jolla.

Range Rover Tire PSI Guide

Every month, take a closer look with regular Range Rover tire maintenance. Check the tire air pressure with a tire pressure gauge. A tire pressure gauge only costs a couple of dollars, and they’re widely available at auto stores.

Checking your Range Rover tire pressure takes just a few minutes. First, look for your vehicle’s recommended PSI on the panel of the driver’s side door. If you can’t find it there, look at the owner’s manual.

Follow these steps:

1. Make sure the tires are cold before you begin. If you just drove, let the tires cool down for four hours before checking the tire pressure.
2. Unscrew the tire valve cover.
3. Insert the end of the tire pressure gauge on the valve.
4. Look at the reading to see the tire pressure.
5. If the reading is low, add more air to your Range Rover tire.

In general, the overall Range Rover tire pressure varies by model.

Air pressure is just one aspect of Land Rover tire maintenance. Checking for tire tread wear is another thing you need to look for when performing Range Rover tire maintenance.

How to Check Land Rover Tire Tread With a Penny

A ruler is the most accurate way to measure tire tread depth. However, a penny will suffice when you’re out and about in San Diego or anywhere.

Follow these steps to check the tread depth on your tires with a penny:

1. Insert the penny with Lincoln head-first into a tire tread groove that shows the most wear.
2. Check if Lincoln’s head is covered and no longer visible between the grooves.
3. If you can see the entirety of Lincoln’s head, your tire treads are 2/32 inches deep or less, and that tread isn’t deep enough. Replace the Land Rover tire as soon as possible.

How to Check Land Rover Tire Tread Wear in Other Ways

These methods are more accurate but equally as effective as a penny.

• Tread Depth Gauge: You can purchase a tread depth gauge from any San Diego-area auto part store. Insert the probe into the shallowest tread groove, then press the top bar of the gauge flat against the tire to see the tread wear rating.

• Tread Wear Bars: Most tires have tread wear indicator bars built into them. If these colored bars are flush with the surrounding tire ribs, this means the tread depth has reached 2/32 of an inch.
