Land Rover tire sizes

We cover 7 Land Rover models across 12 factory fitments, spanning model years 2013 to 2024. The size that turns up most often on a Land Rover is 255/55R20, followed by 255/60R20 and 275/40R22. Wheel diameters run from 18 to 22 inches, so the trim and wheel package matter as much as the model year.

Land Rover approves specific tires. Land Rover-approved tires are marked LR. An LR tire is tuned for the car's air suspension and terrain modes, and on the heavier models it also carries the load rating Land Rover requires. Plenty of owners run non-LR tires happily, but an LR tire is the one the car was signed off on.

Pick your model below to see the size for every year and trim, what it costs from budget to premium, and which tires are worth buying in that size. If you already know your size, search by size instead, and if you are not sure where to find it, our guide on reading a tire size shows exactly where the placard sits.

Land Rover is the surviving half of Jaguar Land Rover in the United States, selling roughly 70,000 to 90,000 vehicles a year across the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Velar, Discovery and Defender. The brand's identity is genuine off-road capability wrapped in luxury pricing, and the Defender's 2020 relaunch broadened its appeal. Every vehicle is heavy, most run air suspension, and tire sizes are large.

That combination makes Land Rover one of the more expensive makes on the site to keep in tires.

Tires on a Land Rover

Land Rover-approved tires are marked LR, part of a joint approval program with Jaguar, whose tires carry a J. The LR approval is tuned around the vehicle's air suspension and terrain response modes and, on the heavier models, it also carries the load rating Land Rover requires, which is the part that matters most: a Range Rover can weigh well over 5,500 pounds and a tire with the right size but a lower load index is not a substitute. Fitments are square across the range, so four identical tires and normal rotation, which is a relief after the staggered German SUVs.

What varies enormously is wheel diameter within one model: a Range Rover Sport can be ordered on 255/55R19, 255/55R20 or 275/40R22, and a Defender 110 on 255/70R18 or 255/60R20. The 18 inch Defender fitment is the one owners who actually go off road want, because it is the only one with enough sidewall to air down, and the 22 inch Range Rover fitment is the one that punctures on gravel. Many owners replace the OE road tire with an all-terrain, which fits in the 18 and 20 inch sizes but barely exists in 22 inch, so the wheel choice made at purchase quietly decides what tires are available later.

The models that matter

The Range Rover and Range Rover Sport carry the volume, on 255/55R19, 255/55R20, 275/40R22 or 285/45R22. The Defender 110 runs 255/70R18 or 255/60R20 and the Defender 90 255/60R20. The Discovery takes 255/55R20, the Discovery Sport 235/60R18 and the Velar 265/45R21.

What owners find out later

The air suspension raises and lowers the body, but it does not change the tire's sidewall, so the 22 inch wheel package that looks best is also the one most likely to be damaged on a washboard road. Land Rover's TPMS is the direct type and a second set of wheels needs its own sensors coded to the vehicle. Most models carry a full-size spare under the load floor, which is unusual in this price bracket and worth checking, because the spare is sometimes a different size from the fitted wheels on the larger packages.

Because these vehicles are heavy, load index rather than section width is the number to match when a shop offers an alternative.
