United Kingdom 2016 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Santorini Black

Trans wind up would only occur where there was a locked diff, on ours the fact that the front and rears are open and the centre is also open most of the time any discrepancies in size and rotations travelled would be lost in the diffs Thumbs Up that surely is the point of diffs.....

United Kingdom 2014 Range Rover Vogue SE SDV8 Corris Grey

If you think back to the 4 speed autos in the Classics and P38 the centre diff was a viscous coupling Same thing on Freelander 1. Nothing more modern though.

This is a tricky subject - not so much rotation but front to back!!

It is widely accepted that Mr & Mrs average are safer with understeer than oversteer therefore it is recommended to fit new tyres to the rear and fit the worn on the front.

But....geometry between front and rear on the ffrr is significantly different so as well as upsetting the balance /stability / feel you may even increase the wear rate as things try to even themselves out!

Solution - drive it like you stole it and make sure all 4 wear out together Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter Back in a Defender!!

I can't find any reference in the owner's manual or workshop manuals on tyre rotation - what I thought was the norm for LR.

Is it front to back only or around the vehicle bringing the spare into use - what used to be the norm for conventional rear wheel drive cars? Ron B. VK2OTC

If you look at the ownerinfo.landrover site you will see the manuals for 405s anyway and they have a 'red warning' saying do not rotate the tyres around the vehicle. This may be partly to avoid issues with TPMS as the fronts and rears have different pressures. But my experience has been that one can get vibrations and noise when tyres worn in one position on the car are put somewhere else, especially with blockier treads. I had this when using Goodyear MT/Rs in the winter on my 322s, if the fitters inadvertently changed tyre positions, one could get wobbles through the steering until the tread had 'settled down' to the new position. I try to change all four tyres at the same time, and generally the wear is such as to make that appropriate anyway.

mzplg above summarises best advice, I think. Only Range Rovers since 1988
