    I did see a couple of 6-wheel variants in Townsville during the week - don't go past Lavarack much so don't know how common they are up here

    its not an outstanting tyre thats not all that good in the wet....

    given what the intent of the vehicles design is, its not the worst choice of tyre..

    Check out the size of the sway bar, thats more of a limiting factor in offroad handling than the tyre is.

    Now, seriously, what is wrong with the perenties ? Why you Aussies are buying this things abroad ? I understand that something like an air strike missile has to be bought abroad, but a 4x4 or 6x6 is not rocket science.

    What are the Germans buying from Oz in exchange ?



    cheers,

    Land Rover closed the Land Rover factory in Australia and the perenties are nearing 30 years old, something had to replace them.

    The Germans may not be buying anything from us, but arent the G-Wagen built in Austria and the Dutch are buying the Australian built Bushmaster from us.

    Hi,

    I mentioned the exchange issue because in Europe there is an offset program for military foreign sales, so if a big order is placed abroad, it is agreeded that certain percentage of re-investing in the originating country by the country who sells the goods. Some technology (knowledge, know-how) transfer is acceptable as part of the re-investing (sometimes).

    BTW, I work for a German company... did you know that there are way more Defenders in Munich that G Wagons ??
