Nope, have to take one step at a time ie SWMBO, getting new rims/ tyres and convincing her it was a good idea to keep the D3 has taken some work :twisted:

Hi Steve,

Hi Stevo - your wheels and tyre combo looks great! How is the road noise compared to the Goodyear Manglers?
Cheers,

Chris Hey Chris, no these are the 255/55/r18's, I had seen the thread on the 60 series, at this stage I am just happy not to have HP's :D.

Rob Not discernable difference, obviously with windows up and sunroof closed you dont hear anything anyway, but even with windows down there is no difference. Also handling on the road seems really good, gave it a cane on the way home through some windy parts........no probs:D. The difference though I am looking forward to is seeing how they are offroad on some tough stuff which will be next weekend at Rover Park. Will then post results, but so far so good,

They look good:cool:

So how did they perform off road?

They look good:cool:

So how did they perform off road? Yesterday wasnt a real test, next weekend at Rover Park will be, will post how they go then as that will be 3 days of driving off road in all sorts of terrain, whereas yesterday was a couple of hrs bar the thick mud which most people had to be snatched through.
