Yep, it is using normal Tire Pressure settings for the TPM, and the rear wheels are less than recommended for Normal/Full Load at 44 Front and 51 Rear.

You can also set to light load (at least on mine with the virtual instrument panel), which I prefer for ride comfort. More discussion on it here https://landroverforums.com/forum/ne...ressure-92049/

Wow I think my half ton pickup was around 36lbs so 50 seems HIGH!

It does like to tell me it’s setting load to normal I had no idea I could change it I’ll have to look.

My screen shows "tyre" pressure.
I notice yours shows "tire".
Is there a setting somewhere in the car that I need to change to let the car know we're in the U.S.
Silly question, I know, but I'm wondering if this is why the CNN and Reuters news feeds in the infotainment only give me headlines from the other side of the pond?
Also...my car came from the factory set up with the heavy load pressures.
80% of my driving is with 1 person in the car (me), with the other 20% having 4 people total and the occasional yellow lab.
Should I be changing the setting to the light load and airing down the tires?
Will this affect tire wear / life or mpg fuel economy?

See the other thread I started, link above.
I set the IP to Light Load and set the pressures to 36F and 38R, the ride feels much better. Didn't notice any difference in MPG and doubt it will affect tire wear, most vehicles have settings in the 30s (even full size SUVs).
