Running the rears slightly higher is a way of taming the handling. If the fronts and rears are equal pressures, there's a chance that the vehicle can be tail happy. Even more so if the rears are lower pressure than the fronts. With something that is tall and relatively rolly-polly, you increase the risk of roll-induced oversteer.


I been running mine at 40psi 285/40/22 and I do feel like it is tail happy :/

Any idea what psi I should try RRS TDV6 2010 Smile

United Kingdom 2012 Range Rover Sport Supercharged HSE Baltic Blue

Drove to work this morning at 45PSI and it was firm over speed bumps etc. Once tyres cooled I've now dropped them to 40 PSI all around and see how I get on over the weekend. There is no replacement for displacement - W O Bentley

Are they 40psi all round? If so, drop the fronts by a couple of psi and see if that helps. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed
