Wheels and Tires
For wheel and tire specification information (pressures, torques, etc)
When replacing wheels or tires, local legislation regarding health and safety must be complied with
If the vehicle has a Tire Pressure Monitoring System installed, only Jaguar approved wheels and tires should be used. If the wheel and tire size is changed (for example from R18 to R20) the Tire Pressure Monitoring System module should be updated with the correct pressure information appropriate to the new wheel and tire set.
Update the Tire Pressure Monitoring System module using the Jaguar approved diagnostic system
As a general guideline, only replace tires in pairs or as a set, and only with tires of equivalent size and specification
Confirm the symptoms of the customer complaint
