Thanks Jeff, your post and the couple stuck in Newcastle was what prompted me to do something about it. Been a bit busy of late.

10,000km tyre rotation, that's 20,000 on the Wildpeaks now, pretty even wear.
Should be good for another 30 - 40k at least.

They get rotated? . Haven’t rotated a set of tyres on any of the LRs and never had a wear problem.

Wildpeaks went from my vehicle to Sons at 40,000km and are now at 75,000km and still 6-7mm of tread.

I am the same - rotation causes tyre wear.

When you buy a new pair of shoes the soles quickly wear to the way you walk - for me it is the outside heals - once worn a bit the wear slows down - in my opinion the same happens with your tyres - a quick bit of wear at the start then everything settles down (different if there are alignment issues) - then after each rotation the same happens again.

Slightly cooler colour temperature but seems good to me. Haven't been out with them much yet.

Having spent a bit more time now driving with these they do seem good although I am not convinced they are better (or worse for that matter) than the OEM Osram globes. May be just me adjusting to the different colour temperature...

For info the OEM Osram 66340 are 3200 Lumens +/-15% @~$180 / pair and 4300K whilst the Stedi D3S are 2800 Lumens and 5500K @~$130 / pair

They’re worse
Lower effective light output and higher up blue spectrum, they will strain your eyes more.

Brake wear indicator came on, new front pads are on order.

Rears are supposed to be ok last time my indie serviced it.

Park brake is also starting to play up so will be another job before long, hopefully just needs shoes.

Duck down to Repco and grab the sensor cable whilst you wait. You’ll need it.
