Land Rover Defender: Tire pressure label
The recommended tire pressures are listed on a label located in the driver's door opening.
These pressures provide optimum ride and handling characteristics for all normal operating conditions.
The label contains the following information:
- The maximum number of occupants, divided between the front and rear of the vehicle.
- The vehicle's capacity weight, which includes the weight of the driver, passengers, and cargo.
- Cold inflation pressures for the front, rear, and spare tires.
- The size of the tires with which the vehicle was originally equipped.
Note: The labels must not be changed, even if different wheels and tires are fitted at a later stage.
TIRE VALVES
Do not twist or bend the tire valves when attaching a pressure hose or gauge. Doing so may cause damage, leading to tire failure. Death or serious injury may result.
Keep the tire valve caps screwed down firmly to prevent water or dirt from entering the valve. Check the valves for leaks when checking the tire pressures.
Do not use metal valve caps, as these can corrode onto the valve threads and be difficult or impossible to remove.
