    Back to tyres

    So here we go again, currently have D 697's. Getting close to needing new tyres. 2006 D3. What are you all using. I think mine are 265/70/18. Sitting inside at the moment. Prefer a more aggressive tread. Not highway. Is there anything new out there. Off-road for me is more dirt and mud than anything else.
    Thanks

    Check them and I think you will find they are 265/60x18. As Brett said, you will never fit 265/70x18.

    Wow...

    Like the other D4 guys, I was initially a little surprised they fit under there.

    But when I look at a tyre size comparison site, they are slightly smaller in circumference than the 255/55/19 that come standard on mine!


    255/55/19 Circumference 59.7 inches

    265/70/18 Circumference 56.5 inches

    So back to the original question..... what are people using?

    I'm using Hankook Dynapro atm RF10, which I am happy with... but doesn't seem to come in the size you want.

    Everyone I know still speaks highly of the D 697's

    Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most

    2015 TDV6 D4.... the latest project... Llams, Traxide, Icom 455, Tuffant Kimberleys and Mofos.... so far.
    2012 SDV6 SE D4 with some stuff... gone...
    2003 D2a TD5...gone...
    2000 D2 V8...gone...
