  • • The wheels and tires fitted must conform to the specifications of the original equipment.
  • • Only Land Rover approved traction devices should be used on the vehicle. Only Land Rover approved traction devices have been tested to ensure that they do not cause damage to the vehicle. Contact your Land Rover Retailer/Authorized Repairer for information.
  • • Always read, understand and follow the traction device manufacturer's instructions. Pay particular attention to the maximum speed and fitting instructions.
  • • Avoid tire/vehicle damage, by removing the traction devices as soon as the conditions allow.
