Without whom LR would not have the FL2, since it's basically a Ford!

I'm sure the Fez is a splendid car, but half of its wheels aren't driven! What's the point of that?! Laughing

Just emailed continental to ask if the pressures should be different in winter tyres. I shall copy and paste their reply in due course. LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

Athelstan previously posted this data 2010-9thDec-11:17hrs

Quote:
LR recommend the following above / below a mean temperature of 20°C / 68°F:

When any decrease or increase in temperature above /below that datum point occurs then the tyre pressures should be adjusted by: 0.14 Bar, 14 kPa, or 2 lb Psi., for each 10°C (20°F) change. Increase pressures when the ambient temperature drops below 20°C / 68°F and decrease pressures when the temperature rises above that point.

So what you can determine here is that there is a reasonable safe margin for correct tyre pressures during changes in the ambient temperature on any given day and it is generally not necessary to continually change your tyre pressure.

Firstly get yourself a decent accurate tyre pressure gauge, then check your tyre pressures after the car has been standing (for example at least an hour) and then recheck on a weekly basis or when you move into a totally different climate regime i.e. you go on holiday from UK to Greece in August or from UK to Siberia in winter. Cool

I've got 235/60/18 Wranglers, which were stasndard fit on mine, the stated pressures say 32 psi all round, & I run mine on that all year round driving solo or towing, with no issues.

Continental replied today as follows: Thank you for contacting us
With regards to your query I can advise you the tyre pressures in your
winter tyres are to be set the same as the normal vehicle recommendations
for your summer tyres. LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

Just had this reply from Dunlop in respect of tyre pressures ,

Thank you for your e-mail and choosing our Wintersport 3D for your
Freelander.

Car and 4x4 pressures for tyres are advised by the vehicle manufacturer
rather than the tyre manufacturer. Many manufacturers will come up with
totally different pressures to suit their vehicles and their desired
handling characteristic. There will have been a great deal of testing to
come up to these conclusions. The pressures in tyres act as part of the
vehicle’s suspension design, therefore contributing to handling, stability,
ride etc. Contrary to popular belief pressures are not only advised based
on the weight of the vehicle.

Under the circumstances continue with Landrovers pressures given for your
tyre size.
