Funny, we ran the D2 from 2001 till 2008 on 265-75-16 without issue..

Are you auto or manual?

I have 235/85x16s on my D2.
Its way too overgeared,hill starts when towing the boat are difficult(manual)In low range on the beach with the tuned ECU,brilliant,tall long footprint,dosnt struggle at all.
I fitted the standard ECU the other day chasing a poor starting issue.Its a dead slug on the highway when you are used to just lighting the afterburner to get around road trains!!!!,It was very pleasant when I drove it in the city last week with the standard ECU,much better drivability.
Now the starting issue is sorted I will be replacing the re-mapped ECU to see if that was the starting problem.
