straight on, even the same wheelnuts, as RRS and D3 use the same hubs.

not really. I was expecting the ride to be a bit firmer, moving from 255/55x19s to 275/45x20s, but its not. My old 19 inch Wranglers were quite worn, so quite noisy, these were much quieter. Only thing I noticed yesterday on a bit of a high speed run, was it felt slightly more "nervous" at around three digit speed ( )

Socially aware tyres? Or radar-sensitive? 2006 D3 finally swapped for a 2016 D4 Graphite in Graphite grey. No mods
