    Tyres for Disco 5

    Lower speed rating as long as it’s “S” if I recall are acceptable in AU as long as it has the load rating.

    That document from RMS is odd...

    “• If the speed rating of the tyres specified for your vehicle is higher than 180 km/h, you may fit tyres with a lower speed rating, but not lower than the vehicle’s top speed”

    S speed rating is 180 kph, D5 specified top speed 240 kph.

    The bulletin uses the word "should" in regard to speed rating, not "must". It is only a recommendation.

    S speed rating is 180 kph, D5 specified top speed 240 kph.

    That would cut down on the options...

    I thought the Federal rules made an exception for "4WDs".

    It doesn’t cut down options. Recommended is not the same as must.

    S rating is perfectly acceptable.

    IIRC it is a minimum of N speed rating for 4WDs.

    Do you think GAP will ever get full functionality for the IIDTool on the latest generation of LandRovers? We have been waiting a long time
