Hello,

Just took delivery today of RR Sport HSE TDV8 2009, i am very happy with it, when i looked at it last week i noticed the tyres were the only area i asked the garage to look at, they have put 2 brand new tyres on the front, however the ones on the rear have a reasonable tread they are not the same make or matching tread, whats the best approach to confront the garage to rectify the problem, this is not a back street garage its a high class dealership.

I don't thInk it's an issue to have two different tyre brands front and rear, is it? L405 P400e Autobiography (MY2020)... Silicon Silver / Espresso
RRS TDV6 HSE Lux (MY2011)... Nara Bronze / Arabica - now gone!

No but following a recent incident i had with a dealership and LR refusing to do any warranty work because i had Hankooks fitted, i would check and insist that they are the type as specified and fitted when they leave the factory

THey would be on dodgy ground with any warranty rejection if the tyres are of the size and type fitted to the Range Rover...brand and tread are not important and it would take me about 30seconds to remind them of the fit for purpose etc type laws...i had this when the (for about 30 seconds) tried to say the roof rack (Rhino - Aus) wasnt the cause of some roof issues as it wasnt a Genuine LR rack...like i said lasted 30second  Mike

Thanks for the feedback, however it doesn't seem right on a £40k vehicle, front 2 new Pirelli Scorpion, Back 1 Pirelli scorpion close to limit & 1 Wanli with good tread, reasonably new.

Only had it 2 days, everything else is tip top,

Change tyres in pairs - you should always do that.

If you have 2 odd makes/tread patterns/tread depths change them to be the same.

Like i said - change in pairs, changing it 4's is excessive.

Also i would strongly suggest newest tyres on the front...but that may spark debate. Mike

I would have thought there were rules in relation to tyres in the Approved LR check out I would certainly be taking it back and having a few words with the sales manager. MY2011 HSE Santorini/Ivory/Piano Black/Privacy Glass/TV .Sadly gone.

I actually heard that having different tires installed could be an issue when driving in rain/ice. Not sure if it is true though. Vadim A.

Well Good News,

With all the advice from the forum, I contacted the garage and they have today fitted 2 new rear Pirelli Scorpion tyres and also polished all the wheels, its now looks as if it is straight from factory,
