United Kingdom 2007 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 Zermatt Silver

On the TPMS point, I tend to spend most of my time on the motorway so my tyres are slightly overinflated

I often get a TMPS malfunction, so I suspect it is actually quite accurate. I've seen individual wheel PSI printouts from the indy who services my car.... 2007 Zermatt Silver TDV8 Vogue SE - now sold but was a great car!

Good to hear they are quite accurate. I should use the Faultmate to have a look at the live values while inflating the tyres so see how accurate my handheld gauge is Smile MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

Can I add a question to this thread please?
If all goes well I'm picking up a set of 20" wheels this week with 275/40 Vredestein wintracs on them.
What tyre pressures would you recommend front and back?
Thanks.

Having done a few miles now since my OP, and with just me in the RR, I'm finding that 34 for the back and 31 at the front to be much better on 255/55/19 - good directional feedback from the steering wheel and a smoother/more comfy ride Thumbs Up Better to be irresponsible and right, than to be responsible and wrong.

Bought one of these . Get very good reviews for accurate readings, so takes the guesswork out of ropey forecourt machines :

you defo need one of those gauges, garage forecourt pressure gauges are notoriously inaccurate because of the way they are treated and the weather conditons they are subject to..
most big name tyre shops have to have their gauges calibrated regularly , and most dont mind checking your pressures for you .. ... - .- -.
