I see that the D4 wheels are a different style from the D3 and that they now have 9Jx19" 255/50R19 107 tyres rather than the 255/55 R19 111's of the D3
Anyone know if the D3 alloys are interchangeable/useable with the D4, either with the 55 tyres or changing to 50 aspects?
And what is the issue with the reduction in the weight capacity rating (surely the Disco hasn't been on a diet )
I'm surprised, not only has the load weighting dropped from the D3 but so has the size if you go over 18"
Suspect D4's will suffer from more punctures than D3s The End
Slimer - yes that's what surprised me, as I'd thought the extra weight of the Disco was why we had to watch not to use the RRS sized wheel/tyre combination

By that sizing, the 19" wheels & tyres will be smaller than all the others, so I suspect a typo.

Can confirm that D4 Tyres in 19 are as D3 255/55/19 with same load rating
Thanks Ken - so yet another error in the LR literature. Really high time that management got an almighty shake-out there and put proper quality control systems in place - tempting to try to work out a means of getting that message through to the powers that be in India
What tyre ratings are posted on the bottom of the door (at least here in Oz that is the "legal" set of ratings)?Jim Dowell - D4 HSE TDi, 12,000 hydraulic winch & hidden winch mount, MTRs, TyreDog, Traxide 2 x aux battery system, fixed air compressor, Dolium roof rack, MitchHitch.

OZ gets something different to the UK, as even on the D3, 109 tyres are OK and listed on your door label, but 111 is on the UK label (I know as the two labels have different part numbers)
so that pic above could be the Oz one.
AlVolvo XC90 B5 Plus Dark
Gone - MY18 D5 HSE - Corris on 22's with Black Pack
Now gone - MY16 D4 SE Tech, Loire Blue, Almond Leather, Privacy, plus some other goodies.
Old - MY12 D4 SDV6 XS Auto - Ipanema Sand with Almond Leather - Plus other niceties, and D4.com sticker
Older - D3 TDV6 XS Auto - Lugano Teal with Almond Leather, 20" Stormers, Shiny Tailpipes, DVD/TV - and obligatory D3 sticker
Ancient - D3 TDV6 S - Tonga with Ebony, 20" Stormers, satnav & DVD
Pic was taken from the online version of the UK handbook, suspect it's a miss-print from the RRS one though
Can someone with a D4 tell us what their printed handbook and door sticker says?The End
