When changing my alloys from 19s to 20s on Friday, at the tyre shop, do I have to be carefully about them jacking up my beloved RRS? A mate says if not jacked up properly, in the correct suspension setting, it could screw the suspension 'cos its 'self leveling'! Is that correct or complete BS?? What needs to be done if anything?

Thanks guys,

It doesn't really matter. If you are using a reputable wheel & tyre centre they will use a large trolley jack or even a vehicle lift whilst changing your wheels.

If you are really worried check out the jacking instructions in the boot. Do what ever it says on the information leaflet, you can't go wrong. Arctic Frost TDV6 SE.

From experience the only way they can jack it up is for you to lock it down in access mode as previously posted. Any other setting and the wheels won't leave the ground.

You don't need to worry about anything else your mate told you.

Also make sure they torque the wheels by hand and don't use their airgun socket set to undo or tighten the nuts cos it might damage your alloys. TDV6 - gone

PJPR01 is spot on, you are supposed to put the RRS in off road height before jacking.

I did when I changed our 19's to 20's many moons ago, and also when we had 2 punctures.

Suspension is fine after doing so. Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award

Thanks Guys. I will put my RRS into the off road height.

I will say though, that the LD dealer I bought her from told me today to do nothing and all will be fine...

Ask your local LR dealer to change the tyre size setting with the dealer tool also.

Oh… that’s interesting !

Can you “Tell the Sport” that it has, for instance 255/55 19’s on rather than 255/50’s & then get correct speedo readings ??

The one thing stopping me putting on MTR’s is the speedo readings would be out of whack. Given that the D3 takes 55 19’s as standard I often wondered if the sport could be calibrated to do the same.

Im 99% that that tyre size is in the diagnostic menu yes,if i get my car logged on to IDS again ill take a screen shot of the sizes available for change.
