106 is way too low for a D3 to be honest. Someone had Kahn 22's on here that cracked as I remember 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

hi dg, its just that i spoke to someone at overfinch leeds and he said these are the tyres which go on a range rover supercharger so i thought they would be fine? maybe not? shame really?
p.s i wouldn't be going off road with these wheeels/alloys combo, does this make a difference?
cheers

weight rating of 106 is not good enough - your insurance company might choose to not pay up if you had an accident
besides which, 22's are neither practical or desirable on a D3 - the slightest half height kerb will trash them

Well I wouldn't either on or off road....but you can always chance it
just don't forget to let your insurers know 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

thanks for the replies guys, never even thought about my insurance and whats just came into my head is that i pull a 23ft caravan also, so i would presume these alloys would be no good anyway

You can put on what you like . There are a few things to be mindful of ........Insurance, warranty and possible contravention of Construction and Use regs
The reason is that the manufacturer stipulates a precise specification ... deviation is always going to be a risk. You have to weigh that up 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021
