You'd think so but NCOP is not even the rule in QLD. Maybe it will turn out that QLD is the only state that you can fit a bigger tyre on a DSC 4WD?

So as long as I push the button on the dash that turns DSC off I should be ok in NSW?

Some drafts and rules should never make it past the draft stage as they are just too dumb. Hopefully this will be one of them.

Well DSC off isn't really off. I'd say you would have to get the OK from LR that the DSC system would still function normally with certain rims and tyres.

DSC off is just reduced sensitivity.

There's no way LR will sanction anything other than standard-fit rims and tyres, of which there are multiple options. Don't even bother asking.

Using different sized ones just means the system may not respond exactly as designed. Unless you go to silly sizes it'll still be so close as makes no difference.

Leave DSC enabled, keep the tyres legally sized and don't worry about it.

DSC re-enables anyway on startup. I'd keep it on at all times unless in low-range territory.

You can buy a D3 in Iceland with 32" tyres. Bet that runs standard software.
