How is tire rotation done on a land rover? Just another stupid question from stupid. Since it is all wheel drive how are the tires rotated?

 

IT IS NOT ALL WHEEL DRIVE!!
IT IS FULL TIME FOUR WHEEL DRIVE!!
THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE!!

Front to rear and leave the spare on the back.
Make sure that you check the tire PSI in the spare every 6 months.

 

Spike wanted to go four wheeling today, but every single time ready to go in the three amigos said hello. Won't I get stuck four wheel'n with them on without the traction control?

 

You might and you might not, depends on your tires and your skill.
But with the 3 amigos on you will have no traction control.
Your truck is very capible with out traction control, just put the t-case in low and start with something easy.
Once you build your confidence and learn the ability of your truck you can work your way up.
Always start with the easy stuff and be in the correct gear before you need it.

 

If you have a full size spare tire and it is the Exact same tire as the others then do a 5 tire rotation.

 

You never do a 5 way rotation cause both right tires must always stay on the right, left on left, which leaves the spare out.

Stupid,
First go change your name, it may help. Second, go have a qualified mechanic with the proper scanner scan for ABS issues and get it fixed cause if you get stuck with no traction control, it will just make life more difficult.

 

How often do you rotate the tires?

 

So if the right tires stay on the right (same with the left side) what is the purpose of rotating them? I thought the point was to even out the tire wear. Tirerack.com recommends rotations every 3k-5k miles. Do it with an oil change.

 

i've been told 6k so i do it every other oil change.

...also there's something about not using an impact driver on Discos, correct?

Someone with more credentials should clarify that...

 

Correct me if I am wrong, but I always thought tire rotation methods depended on the type of tire, if they are directional tread or not. That would control whether you cross rotate or just do a front to back swap.

Either way remember to adjust the tire pressures as back tires take more psi then front ones do.
