Glenno's D4 on Low Range Video

Gordon, do you know whether they are using 275x65 R18 cooper STT or some other size of STT?

No, I wasn't involved in their tyre choice.

Cheers,

Gordon

I haven't purchased my D4 as yet, but I am counting the days to March 15 when the deal will be done. I purchased your book and after its arrival last week I haven't been able to put it down. I think that it is the best treasure trove of information on the LR RR and Disco that I have had the pleasure to read. I would recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone operating these vehicles.
The explanation in clear terms of the systems, Tyres, aftermarket mods are invaluable. I will be in touch after March for some other goodies.Thanks Gordon

Well I just watched Episode 2 of Low Range, better than episode 1 I feel.

The D4 performed brilliantly as we all know they will. ;)

In the mud it surprised Glen and Roothy on how easily it drove it after Milo needed 2 attempts.

On a long scramblie loose rock hill with some large holes the D4 again surpassed Glens expectations as the traction control did its stuff.
Roothy was amazed watching it and jumped in for a ride for the rest of the hill.

Milo well - broke the studs holding one of the axles to the hub and broke the other axle at the hub! Game over.

Oh the Hilux with double diff locks drove it too but not as polished a performance as the D4.

Gotta love that.

It does that on just about every trip :( .

Maybe Glenno has been on a GOE course to learn how to drive ;-)

Looking forward to my DVD now.

Brett....

I hope Matt gets his today so that I can watch it!

The only size that I know of in STT that would fit is the 275/65R18, which have a diameter of 814mm. The thing that has got me stumped, is that he has been able to fit his spare tyre under the back of the vehicle. I have just experienced how hard it was to fit my spare 265/65R18 BFG A/T (799mm diameter) spare under the back of my disco (fully deflated, heat shield removed, ratchet strap around diameter and a touch of angle grinder work). So I would have thought it impossible to fit a 275/65R18 under there!

I would love to know how he has done it, because I really wanted to fit mud terrains to my disco 4, but instead had to settle for A/Ts. I am assuming Coopers have started producing the STT in a smaller size maybe?

Anyone got the inside info??

Looking at the LowRange Facebook page, it looks like 275/65R18 to me.

So how did he fit a spare 275/65R18 STT under the vehicle?
