Water in rear tyres

I have a 2013 sport 20"wheels old style.
I have had issues with water in the rear tyres causing unbalance and vibration through the car.
Anyone had this problem? How can I stop this happening?

I had the same problem in the fronts. I think it's an issue with the Pirelli tyres. I suspect the answer is as above.

Hello

Hi there I had the same issue went back to land rover due to the excessive vibration. Transpires it was water inside one of the rear tyres land rover dealer tried to charge me for the work.
The vibration was that bad the plastic cover on the underside of the car had vibrated loose. I suspected a problem with there compressor when they were assembling the trees on the wheel
They claimed I must have changed a tyre. I called there bluff and said I would take the serial numbers of the tyres and they can check on the Bach numbers of tyres.
Haven't had any problems since they bailed the water out my Range Rover.
Cheers

Have a look here :

Home > Wheels & Tyres > Water in tyres. Any ideas why ?

We came to the conclusion it's a bad compressor.

Thanks for the feed back.
Just to expand, the car is just under 2 years old and the tyres are the factory fitted set. I have had to have the water removed and rebalanced twice in the last two years.
Land Rover Stratstone's response was " they have never heard of the problem previously. "
I have not topped up the air pressure in that time as the tyre pressures have always been okay.

Do you pressure wash your car? Perhaps it's done when serviced? Get a pressure washer jet up against the beading and I bet you'd force some water in. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Had the same issue.
2013 With 20" Pirellis first year no real problem noticed.
After first service had a vibration which felt like coming from middle of car.
Took to get rears balanced and tyre fitter had issues trying to balance rear offside.
After several attempts they took tyre off and had about half a litre of water in there.
Rebalanced and all ok.
Coming upto winter car had a vauge feeling to the front end.
Fitted 19's with winter tyres and car felt fine.
Refitted 20's after 2nd service in March and Vauge feeling returned.
Decided to fit 4x new tyres even though 3mm on front and 4.5mm on rears
Tyre fitter found water in front offside tyre.
Four new pirellis fitted since march and no issues so far.
Vauge feeling also gone. 2013 HSE Black Edition, Orkney Grey, Ivory Trim, Exterior design Pack and Privacy glass
