Judging by that, D5 owners will get to hear all of the "footballer's wife" and "drug dealer" jibes that RRS owners had to put up with back in the day. Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

I know its not something we need to do often but I had to change a 21" on my RRS in Italy last year "in a bit of a hurry" (tyre slashed as part of a robbery scam and I needed to empty boot, change wheel and get out of there sharpish.....).
All I can say is they weigh a ton......... a 22" is only going to worse

I envy the marketing, PR and management team that can drive their cars on such perfect roads, with no potholes, no crumbling edges, no speed bumps, that have kerbs that are rounded so that their 21 +22" tyres look 'cool' as they sure aren't useful for doing anything else regards
