To clarify for everyone, wheel nuts DO come with the Tuffant wheels, they are in Box#1. Apologies. (don’t think I can delete my earlier post)Quote:

Didn’t buy them for their beauty, but I think the Tuffants look pretty good: (not best photo sorry)

Needs a liberal application of tyre shine.Quote:

Balanced up well with not to much lead needed, speedo is now perfect compared to the GPS, TC worked fine, well once the D4 novice worked out all the electrickery, had pressures down to 12 PSI on the really soft sections and they look a heap better than I first thought they would.
Next run is up north to Kimberly and Kakadu in 6 weeks which will really test them
What PSI are you running on road?Quote:

The common rule of thumb is lower pressures for larger tyres.
Running them high just puts extra NVH into the vehicle. Tyres are part of the suspension as well as the springs etc
Couldn't have said it better myself. Styling options were so limited when using steel and such a restricted space! We are stoked with how they ended up looking given it the design was driven by function!Quote:

I have an ARB TPMS and you see those numbers climb by about 4psi after a bit of highway driving on a warm day.
I'm liking 38/35 cold for bitumen duties with a light load. 25 all round for rough tracks. Have yet to hit the beach.
