How to tell whether your Range Rover tyres need replacing
One of the easiest ways to check whether your Range Rover tyres need replacing is by taking a look at the tyre tread depth. This is because the tyre treads are designed to help keep the vehicle in contact with the road during wet weather. However, this tread naturally wears away over time, creating a shallow tyre tread that reduces traction and can even lead to aquaplaning in wet weather.
As a result, the minimum legal tyre tread depth in the UK is 1.6mm for the middle three quarters of the tyre. Luckily, you can easily check your tyre tread depth by using nothing more than a 20p coin. Simply insert it into the tyre tread grooves, and check whether you can see the outer band of the coin.
If you can’t see the band, your tyres won’t need changing. However, if you can see the band, it’s likely they require changing. Your Range Rover wheels may also require replacing if they’ve suffered significant damage, haven’t been replaced for five years or longer, or have age-related issues such as cracks and cuts.
If you’re ever unsure, however, it’s always best to take your car to a garage where they can determine whether your wheels are unsafe and require further inspection by a qualified mechanic.
How much does it cost to repair Range Rover Tyres and/or wheels?
Ultimately, the price of repairing your Range Rover wheels will vary depending on the number of damaged wheels and the extent of the damage that requires attention. Range Rover Tyres’ puncture repair, for example, often costs in the region of £25-£45 per tyre. More time-consuming, specialist repairs, however, will cost significantly more, often up to £150.
The good news is regardless of whether your vehicle has 20-inch Range Rover wheels or you own a Range Rover with 22-inch wheels, Range Rover tyres’ repair often comes at a fixed price irrelevant of size.
How much does it cost to replace Range Rover wheels?
If the cost of repairing your Range Rover’s wheels seems a little high, it may be more cost-effective to simply replace the tyres completely. With replacement Range Rover Sport wheels costing anywhere in the region of £55-£250, replacing irreparable Range Rover tyres needn’t break the bank.
