The manual for my Range Rover L405 says to not rotate tires. Yet the Land Rover dealership that services the car wants to rotate tires during its one year service.

Who should I trust? Pros/cons of rotating tyres. L405 2016 - Supercharged V6 petrol 380hp

I don’t strictly rotate mine as it’s bad for the carcass / tyre construction. What I do is shift the front tyres to the back and vice Versa - i.e the rotation remains the same. I want all my tyres to wear out at the same time - it’s a pet hate of mine having new tyres on the front and old on the rear - I would rather just go to the tyre depo once and have done with it and have nice new tyres all round. 2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17

Based on my 322 experience the different tyre wear depending on position on the car can cause wobbles and poorer handling if the wheels are rotated, especially with blockier off road type patterns, at least until the tyres bed in to their new positions.

I don't rotate on my 405 and have my summer and winter wheels marked on removal so they go back in the same place.

My experience on RRs in general is that unless the alignment is off at the front, tyre wear is broadly similar all round, so one can just replace the set of four, again this is what LR recommend. Only Range Rovers since 1988

when mine goes into the dealer for service i always tell them to leave the wheels/tyres as they are..they're happy to do that as its one less job for them. ... - .- -.
