Range Rover Evoque: Tyre pressure compensation for low ambient temperature changes
A colder ambient local temperature will reduce pressure within the tyre. An effect is to decrease sidewall height and to increase tyre shoulder wear with the potential for tyre failure.
Vehicle dynamics could also be adversely affected.
Tyre pressures can be adjusted to compensate before the start of the journey. Alternatively, tyre pressures can be adjusted when the area of lower ambient temperature is reached.
In this situation, the vehicle must be left in the ambient local temperature for at least one hour before tyre pressure is adjusted.
To compensate for colder ambient temperatures, tyre pressures should be increased by 0.14 bar (2 psi, 14 kPa) for each 10°C (20°F) decrease.
Note: Ensure that correct tyre pressures are maintained when moving to areas of differing ambient temperature.

Flat spots due to long term parking
In order to minimise flat spotting, the tyre
pressures can be increased to the maximum as
stated on the tyre sidewall, for the period when
the vehicle is stationary. Tyres must be

Age degradation
Tyres degrade over time due to the effects of
ultraviolet light, extreme temperatures, high
loads, and environmental conditions. It is
recommended that tyres are replaced at least
every six years,
