Great cars those D3's , the tyres look great, did your HSE come with 19inch rims? Mine has and it is deeming difficult to find AT's that will fit it. My option is looking like having a second pair of 17's/18's. ANy thoughts,

Regards

Stevo

ALso did either of them have the glass roofs? Hard to tell in pic, mine has 3 including sunroof, thought was standard?

Steve
Youv'e got the V8, which has bigger disks than the TDV6 so your looking at 18' as the min wheel size you can go to.

Goodyear make an MTR in 19", as used on the G4 cars. It's not generally available here, but I read somewhere that A chap had some brought in for his Cayenne, so you might be able to try and get some.

There is stuff all availabe in a suitable 18" size at this stage.

You only get glass roofs if you wanted the sunroof.

Where was the 3rd pic taken?

Richard,

The picture is taken along Donald Tk heading down to Enoch Pt from Mt Terrible.

Hi PCH
When I bought my ST's the dealer warned against using highway pressure in rocky terrain and unsealed roads with alot of shale type rock.They recommended dropping pressure to 30psi depending on conditions and lower if off roading.
No chipping on mine yet,5000ks and several offroad trips.

I've been dropping the pressure down to 30PSI (hot) but that was only recently after I noticed chipping on the rears but it hasn't really stopped it from occurring. No doubt it has probably reduced it though.

Hi Jamo, there has been much discussion over this in other threads, and until the tyre companies recognise that many new 4wds are coming out with 18in plus rims there wont be much on the market. This therefore limits your tyre choice to nil. The only other option is to purchase a new set of rims, like in the 2 D3's pictured above and swap them when off road. But keep in mind you need to be wary of the clearance needed to cover the brakes and calipers, i dont think you will be able to go any lower than 17in, and these should give you a wide enough range of tyres to choose from.

Nice pics by the way. The only thing better than a D3 is two D3's. Matt

why?

look like D3s to me.
very clean D3s

Yeah, The TDV6 can take 17's but the V8 can't. Ive got six STT's waiting at Tyrepower Belmont (Perth) and the 17's are being delivered there from performance wheels tomorrow (Friday). All I have to now is get my D3 to get it's fat ass off access height!
