Did they have to have something done my Landrover to match the car ?

I thought I read on here they are programmed to the car and even putting a spare set in the boot can mess with the sensors ?

Would be interested to know if you just put them straight on ?

Yeah the pressure monitor sensors had been removed and were replaced, all sorted by Landrover pre delivery

Looking forward to tomorrow now

PICS!! 2014.5 Mariana Black 5.0 Supercharged V8 Autobiography

What tyres are all your MY16 65 plates being shipped with? Read somewhere they should be coming with Pirelli's?

I believe mine has been delivered to dealer with 22's but have Continentals on it.

Contis won't last long on a RRS,,you need pirellis on them.

I had Cross Contis on my 13 year RRS 2 with 22" rims which I sold at 14800k miles. I didn't measure tread remaining, but I guess 65/70pc worn so possibly needed changing at 18/19k miles.

But replacement with 21" rims and Pirellis is A1. Discoesque ride with 45 profile tyres, less road noise, nice alloys at no extra cost. Handling as good . Only done 4k miles so unable to guage tyre life at this stage. I guess LR fit cross contis to 22" wheels and Pirellis to 21" wheels.

My first RRS in 2005 had Contis and they wore the front shoulders within 10k miles, which was disappointing. My next RRS was a 2007 TDv8 that came on Pirellis and after 30,000 miles in three years they were still in great condition when I sold the car in 2010. I had a FFRR for the next 12 months and didn't do enough miles to notice the wear but then I took delivery of an Evoque Dynamic on launch day and it came shod with Contis on it's 20" wheels and I thought I was going to have to replace them early after the previous experience. Not so, after 28000 miles they had hardly worn and many Evoque owners have found the same (although the also OEM Michelin Latitudes seem to go on forever with one owner on BasbyRR getting 70000 out of a set on his company car in 3 years!) Now my RRS2 has come on 22" wheels shod with Continentals and even after 2700 miles they are showing wear................... 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
