the article states 'equipped with ludicrously large 21-inch wheels wrapped in paper-thin 275/75/R21 road tires'

No way are they 75 profile, they'd be like balloons! 45 or 50 maybe. Rolling Eyes

the standard is 275/45x21 (or on mine 285/40x22 Shocked )

There is a much better youtube vid from some Aussie chaps who give a 2Ltr D5 a good workout, and are very impressed with it - if its OK for them then I'm OK with one for the mean and rugged parts of Brum Whistle

Clearly under the influence of something Shocked

I was warmed to see he ended the article saying pricey.

Still not for me .......... my D4 is the last one I will be buying.

I didn’t think it’s on or off road capabilities had ever been questioned.

Just the odd ball looks and inflated price that seem to cause concern.

And I don’t think that smaller American reg plate has helped in that department Whistle
