    Also consider that 245/70R17 is an easier size to source than the 255/65R17 when outside of a capital city. 265/70R17 even more so.

    Cheers,

    Hey mate,
    I read through this post a couple of times, so, sorry if I missed it, but exactly what size tyre did you fit, Thanks.

    I didn't see your thread earlier, otherwise I would have given you my thoughts as I run the STMAXX on my disco. Now that you've had them fitted, you'll definitely have to come up for a run with us!

    They will it in the spare wheel well - I managed to squeeze in 265/70 17's on my D3.
    Cheers

    Like my STMAXX but noticed that my fuel consumption went up by at least 1.5l per 100k is hat due to the size difference or thread but quite a difference I did not expect

    Steve I noticed the same thing with my ST Maxx- around 1-1.5L/100 km more- I suspect it is a combination of both increased size and more aggressive tread. Regards, David
