| Well I never noticed that!! Wrong tyres on my D3!!! |
|
Have had the D3 for best part of 18 months now..
And only just realised its got the wrong sized tyres on it!!!!
For some reason it has the ultra easy to get 255/55 R18.....
I check the door pillar plate every time I check my tyre pressures and never twigged they are not on there!!
Think I focused on the 255/55/R19 and thought no more of it!
It was only that I am stupidly going to attack the bushes and alignment that I though I'd may as well look for some new boots whilst doing it.
When all the on line tools recommended a type that is not on mine got me thinking....
Think I need to pay more attention in future!!!
 If things were meant to be easy, then I will soon complicate them....
Please note...
Anything I say is only from my personal experience and knowledge..
I don't assume to know everything, and know there is a lot I don't know..
But then I could be talking  .. O

Will be sticking with the 18s, and will get the correct profiles once I’ve done the bushes
Was just a surprise I wasn’t expecting!!! If things were meant to be easy, then I will soon complicate them....

That's one way of solving a tyre problem - change the car  Uncle Ray's spare wheel protector
Limo Tint
Blackvue front & rear dashcam
Cruise control switch pack
Bodsy's remote for FBH

Well it works.....
Probably cost a little more than just tyres, but did sort the initial problem..

I think with older D3s once you start adding up the cost of repairs needed which dont always make sense, getting another car woudl be the way to go.
