    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

    Road Noise?

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

    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 .

    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. 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,

    Regards

    Stevo
