Wheels & Tyres
WHEELS & TYRES
Wheels & Tyres
WARNING
• ALWAYS use the same make and type of radial-ply tyres front and back. DO NOT use
cross-ply tyres, or interchange tyres from front to back.
• For optimum performance and handling ALWAYS replace tyres with the same make and type
as those fitted from new at the factory. If these tyres are not available, consult your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer for advice on Land Rover approved alternatives. Failure to do so
may adversely affect vehicle handling.
• NEVER drive your vehicle if the tyres are badly worn, cut or damaged, or if the pressures are
incorrect.
• Incorrectly inflated tyres wear rapidly and can seriously affect the vehicle's safety and road
handling characteristics.
• Your vehicle is fitted with tubeless road wheels that will NOT accept inner tubes. DO NOT fit
a tube tyre.
• ONLY Land Rover approved wheel and tyre combinations should be fitted to the vehicle.

Tyre Pressures
TYRE PRESSURES
NOTE: Where a 195/80 R15 tyre on a steel rim is supplied for use as a temporary spare wheel, it
should be inflated to the appropriate pressure shown in the above table.
See ‘Temporary use spare wheel’, page 202.
NOTE: A range of accessory wheels and tyres is available for your Land Rover Freelander.
Consult your Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer for a full description of all options.
Please note that this handbook does NOT list accessory tyres or accessory tyre pressures.

Vehicle Weights
VEHICLE WEIGHTS
Vehicle Weights
NOTE: Axle weights are non additive; ie Maximum gross vehicle weight is not calculated by adding
together maximum front and rear axle [Link] individual maximum axle weights and gross vehicle
weight must not be exceeded.
*NOTE: When towing, the gross vehicle weight can be increased by a maximum of 100 kg, provided
road speed is limited to 100 km/h (60 mph).

Towing Weights
TOWING WEIGHTS
Towing Weights
MAXIMUM TRAILER WEIGHT. With vehicle loaded to gross vehicle weight (GVW).
Maximum Tow
On-road Off-road Hitch Load
(Nose weight)
All engines
Unbraked trailer 750 kg (1653 lb) 500 kg (1102 lb) 140 kg (309 lb)
Trailer with over-run brakes 2000 kg (4409 lb) 500 kg (1102 lb) 140 kg (309 lb)
To increase stability when loading to the maximum trailer weight, it is recommended that trailer
load distribution be adjusted to achieve the maximum nose weight limit, see ‘ESSENTIAL
TOWING CHECKS’, page 151.
NOTE: When towing on-road, DO NOT exceed 100 km/h (60 mph)
GROSS TRAIN WEIGHT (WITH OVER-RUN BRAKES) = GVW plus maximum weight of trailer.
Petrol engine 1.8 4040 kg (8907 lb) 140 kg (309 lb)
Petrol engine 2.5 4060 kg (8951 lb) 140 kg (309 lb)
Diesel engine 2.0 4080 kg (8995 lb) 140 kg (309 lb)

Fuel Consumption
FUEL CONSUMPTION
Fuel Consumption
The fuel consumption figures shown below have been calculated using a standard testing procedure
(the new EC test procedure from Directive 93/116/EC), and produced in accordance with The
Passenger Car Fuel Consumption (Amendment) Order 1996. Under normal use, a car's actual fuel
consumption figures may differ from those achieved through the test procedure, depending on
driving technique, road and traffic conditions, environmental factors, vehicle load and condition.
Urban cycle
The urban test cycle is carried out from a cold start and consists of a series of accelerations,
decelerations and periods of steady speed driving and engine idling. The maximum speed attained
during the test is 50 km/h (31 mph) with an average speed of 19 km/h (12 mph).
Extra-urban cycle
The extra urban test cycle is carried out immediately after the urban test. Approximately half of the
test comprises steady-speed driving, while the remainder consists of a series of accelerations,
decelerations and engine idling. The maximum test speed is 120 km/h (75 mph) and the average
speed 63 km/h (39 mph). The test is carried out over a distance of 7 km (4.3 miles).
Combined
The combined figure is an average of the urban and extra-urban test cycle results, which has been
weighted to take account of the different distances covered during the two tests.
NOTE: These figures should not be compared with figures produced using the ECE/EEC procedure
previously required by The Passenger Car Fuel Consumption Order 1983. Because of the changes in
test procedure, even the urban figures would differ if the same car were subjected to both tests.
